Common questions

Is James's MCP Server safe?

It passed 5 of 5 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.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

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.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 42 days ago, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT Business and above.

What can I use instead?

mcp-first-server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with the official MCP SDK, available both as a local stdio server (for Claude Desktop) and as a cloud-deployed HTTP server reachable over the network.

Live demo: https://mcp-first-server.onrender.com (note: free-tier hosting, first request after inactivity may take up to ~50s to wake the instance)

Tools

get_quote — returns a random motivational quote.
get_crypto_price — fetches the live USD price of any cryptocurrency (via CoinGecko).

Two ways to run this server

server.js — stdio transport, for local use with Claude Desktop or any MCP client that spawns a local process.
server-http.js — StreamableHTTP transport wrapped in Express, for cloud/network deployment (this is what's running at the live demo URL above). Listens on process.env.PORT.

Local setup

npm install

npm start # runs server.js (stdio) node server-http.js # or run the HTTP version locally
