Kireo runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 71 installs a week from npm. Last commit 13 Sep 2026.
Long-term memory for Claude Code, Cursor and any MCP client, with a searchable web dashboard.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Kireo every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
