Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Upstash every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

run in your terminal

claude mcp add mcp-server -- npx -y @upstash/mcp-server

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: UPSTASH_EMAIL (Email address of your Upstash account.), UPSTASH_API_KEY (Upstash Developer API key (create one at https://console.upstash.com/account/api).), UPSTASH_BOX_API_KEY (Upstash Box API key for Box-related tools.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Upstash — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Upstash?

Upstash 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 @upstash/mcp-server was installed 3 005 times last week.

How do I connect Upstash?

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 @upstash/mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Upstash?

The npm package @upstash/mcp-server was installed 3 005 times in the last week. Week over week that is +394%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Upstash open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 59 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
