Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (1.38.3) reached the registry yesterday.
