ebb-ai MCP Server

local only

ebb-ai runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 74 installs a week from npm. Last commit 31 Oct 2026.

Runs non-urgent LLM tasks at the cleanest grid hour before a deadline, via Batch APIs when allowed.

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Builds a database query by concatenation packages/cli/src/commands/statusline-setup.ts:126
    text = `Could not update the Claude Code settings: ${(err as Error).message}${manual}`;
    const child = spawn(cmd, args as string[], { stdio: "ignore", detached: true });
        let process = Process()
Sends data to a third-party sink packages/core-ts/src/channels/telegram.ts:12

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Nothing serious here today

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

ebb-ai — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for ebb-ai?
ebb-ai 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 @ebb-ai/mcp was installed 74 times last week.
How do I connect ebb-ai?
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 @ebb-ai/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use ebb-ai?
The npm package @ebb-ai/mcp was installed 74 times in the last week. Week over week that is -84%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is ebb-ai open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 2 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.
