Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "selfheal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "selfheal-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SELFHEAL_CONFIG": "your-value",
        "SELFHEAL_MAX_RETRIES": "your-value",
        "SELFHEAL_CIRCUIT_THRESHOLD": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add selfheal --env SELFHEAL_CONFIG=your-value --env SELFHEAL_MAX_RETRIES=your-value --env SELFHEAL_CIRCUIT_THRESHOLD=your-value -- npx -y selfheal-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "selfheal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "selfheal-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SELFHEAL_CONFIG": "your-value",
        "SELFHEAL_MAX_RETRIES": "your-value",
        "SELFHEAL_CIRCUIT_THRESHOLD": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "selfheal": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "selfheal-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SELFHEAL_CONFIG": "your-value",
        "SELFHEAL_MAX_RETRIES": "your-value",
        "SELFHEAL_CIRCUIT_THRESHOLD": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Values you fill in

SELFHEAL_CONFIG env
Path to selfheal.config.json (optional, defaults to cwd)
SELFHEAL_MAX_RETRIES env
Max retry attempts per call (default: 3)
SELFHEAL_CIRCUIT_THRESHOLD env
Failures before circuit opens (default: 5)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is SelfHeal MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

SelfHeal MCP

Self-healing proxy for MCP servers. Wraps any MCP tool call with automatic retry, circuit breaker protection, and call observability.

Your AI agents stop breaking on flaky APIs.

One-click install: Install on MCPize | npx selfheal-mcp

Features

Retry with backoff — Exponential backoff + jitter on transient failures (5xx, timeouts, rate limits)
Circuit breaker — Per-target circuit breaker stops hammering dead services
Call metrics — Success rates, latency, error frequency, broken down by tool and target
Proxy mode — Wrap any existing MCP server transparently
Zero config — Works standalone out of the box, config file for proxy mode

Quick Start

Standalone Mode

Add to your Claude Desktop / Claude Code config:

"mcpServers": { "selfheal": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "selfheal-mcp"] } } }

Then use wrap_call to make any HTTP request with self-healing:

Use the wrap_call tool to GET https://api.example.com/data with target "example-api"

Proxy Mode

Create selfheal.config.json:

"mode": "proxy", "targets": [ { "name": "my-server", "transport": "streamable-http", "url": "https://my-mcp-server.com/mcp" } ] }

"mcpServers": { "selfheal": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "selfheal-mcp"], "env": { "SELFHEAL_CONFIG": "/path/to/selfheal.config.json" } } } }

All tools from my-server are re-exposed with self-healing built in.

Tools

Tool	Description
`wrap_call`	Execute HTTP call with retry + circuit breaker
`circuit_status`	Check health of any target
`circuit_reset`	Reset circuit breaker after fixing issues
`metrics`	Success rates, latency, top errors
`recent_errors`	Recent failures with full details

Proxy Mode Adds

Tool	Description
`selfheal_metrics`	Metrics for all proxied calls
`selfheal_circuits`	Circuit status for all targets
`selfheal_recent_errors`	Recent errors across all targets

Configuration

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
`SELFHEAL_CONFIG`	`./selfheal.config.json`	Config file path
`SELFHEAL_MAX_RETRIES`	`3`	Max retry attempts
`SELFHEAL_BASE_DELAY_MS`	`1000`	Base delay for backoff
`SELFHEAL_MAX_DELAY_MS`	`30000`	Max delay cap
`SELFHEAL_CIRCUIT_THRESHOLD`	`5`	Failures before circuit opens
`SELFHEAL_CIRCUIT_COOLDOWN_MS`	`120000`	Cooldown before half-open test

How It Works

Agent → SelfHeal MCP → [Retry + Circuit Breaker] → Target API/MCP Server

↓ Metrics Collector

Request arrives — Agent calls a tool
Circuit check — If target has failed too many times, reject immediately
Execute with retry — Try the call, retry on transient errors with exponential backoff
Record metrics — Log success/failure, duration, attempts
Update circuit — Track consecutive failures per target
