Endpoint below is the one we actually reach during checks — not the one copied from a README. Last verified 7 min ago.

Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

  "mcpServers": {

}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: VIPS_API_KEY (VIPsAllowed API key (vips_...). Optional: without a key the CLI can self-signup via 'vips signup'.), VIPS_URL (Base URL of the VIPsAllowed instance. Defaults to https://vipsallowed.com.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Vips — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Vips working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 162 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Vips as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Vips?

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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Vips need an API key?

No. Vips completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How many people use Vips?

The npm package vipsallowed was installed 654 times in the last week. Week over week that is +1013%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Vips open source?

No, and the distinction matters: it ships its own licence file rather than a standard open-source licence. That makes it source-available — you can read the code, but the terms are the author's own, not one of the recognised open-source licences. Read them before you build on it.
