MediaEngine runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 43 installs a week from npm. Last commit 14 Jul 2026.

Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check MediaEngine every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
