This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Optional. Enables AI-powered classification via Haiku (more accurate). Falls back to rule-based classification if not provided. Get a key at https://console.anthropic.com). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Thinkgate — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Thinkgate?

MCP Thinkgate runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package mcp-thinkgate was installed 30 times last week.

How do I connect MCP Thinkgate?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-thinkgate straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use MCP Thinkgate?

The npm package mcp-thinkgate was installed 30 times in the last week. Week over week that is -24%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is MCP Thinkgate open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 3 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
