Variel MCP Server

This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: BRAND_API_KEY (Your Variel project API key (bsk_…) to connect an existing brand. Get it from your Variel dashboard, or run `variel-mcp login` to provision one via browser sign-in (no copy-paste). You can also start keyless and generate a brand with generate_brand_kickoff.), VARIEL_API_URL (Override the Variel API base URL. Defaults to https://variel.ai. Optional — for self-hosted or staging.), ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Anthropic API key. Required only for grade_visual_quality, generate_component, and Tier-2 validate_copy. Optional for all other tools.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Variel MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Variel MCP Server?
Variel MCP Server 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 @variel/mcp-server was installed 48 times last week.
Is Variel MCP Server still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Variel MCP Server?
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 @variel/mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Variel MCP Server?
The npm package @variel/mcp-server was installed 48 times in the last week. Week over week that is +117%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
