Nothing serious here today

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

Put your own value in place of <JIRA_BASE_URL> (Jira base URL without a trailing slash, e.g. https://jira.example.com). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Zephyr Scale MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Zephyr Scale MCP?
Zephyr Scale MCP 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 zephyr-scale-mcp was installed 80 times last week.
How do I connect Zephyr Scale MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls zephyr-scale-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Zephyr Scale MCP?
The npm package zephyr-scale-mcp was installed 80 times in the last week. Week over week that is -20%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Zephyr Scale MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
