Upstash runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 2 645 installs a week from npm. Last commit 23 Oct 2026.
No longer maintained. Use the remote Upstash MCP server: https://mcp.upstash.com/mcp
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.
