Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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": {
    "operations-pulse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@openly-useful/operations-pulse-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add operations-pulse -- npx -y @openly-useful/operations-pulse-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "operations-pulse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@openly-useful/operations-pulse-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

{

Common questions

Is Operations Pulse 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 (0.1.0) 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. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Operations Pulse

A local-first loop orchestrator for useful, explainable operations.

Operations Pulse turns recurring checks into evidence, evidence into durable tickets, and tickets into a reviewable operating memory. It runs without a paid service by default: Node.js, SQLite, Git, local files, and local logs are enough to get a useful pulse.

It is an Openly Useful project: useful things, openly made.

Use the live, credential-safe setup guide at operations-pulse-five.vercel.app.

What launches in v0.1

A SQLite ticket and pulse ledger.
Read-only local checks for repository state, documentation, and configured log files.
An MCP server with self-describing tools and structured results.
A portable operations-pulse skill for Codex and compatible agents.
Optional role definitions for operations, signal review, triage, and integrations.
A connection catalog and guided setup that distinguish free/local, subscription, host OAuth, self-hosted, and bring-your-own-credential paths.
A complete migration ledger: imported, rewritten, referenced, or excluded.

Free-first quick start

Requirements: Node.js 24 or newer. No API key is required for the default workflow.

npm install

npm run build node packages/core/dist/cli.js init node packages/core/dist/cli.js pulse run --root . node packages/core/dist/cli.js tickets list

Configure an optional read-only adapter without placing a credential in the repository, SQLite database, MCP argument, or chat transcript:

export OPERATIONS_PULSE_GITHUB_TOKEN='stored by your shell or secret manager'

node packages/core/dist/cli.js connections configure \ --id github --mode env-token \ --credential-env OPERATIONS_PULSE_GITHUB_TOKEN node packages/core/dist/cli.js connections test --id github node packages/core/dist/cli.js pulse run --root . --connections github

On a local machine already authenticated with the GitHub CLI, the zero-copy alternative uses that session only for the read-only check; its token is never stored or printed:

gh auth login

node packages/core/dist/cli.js connections configure --id github --mode github-cli node packages/core/dist/cli.js connections test --id github

The browser-based picker at apps/site generates these safe setup steps. It never collects credentials. Host OAuth remains in the host's own consent UI.

Run the MCP server over stdio:

npm run mcp

The database defaults to .operations-pulse/pulse.sqlite. Override it with OPERATIONS_PULSE_DB.

Safety model

Operations Pulse is read-only unless a tool or command clearly says it writes. Pulse runs do not create tickets unless --create-tickets (or the equivalent MCP argument) is explicitly enabled. Connections are disabled until configured, credentials are never stored in the catalog, and externally visible or paid actions require a separate human approval boundary.

Connection records retain only an ID, non-secret settings, an endpoint, and an environment-variable reference. connections disconnect removes that reference from the local ledger. The initial adapters are read-only: IMAP unread-count metadata, GitHub identity, Linear viewer identity, Sentry project access, and PostHog project access. No remote mutation adapter ships in v0.1.

Optional heartbeat

Run a bounded foreground heartbeat anywhere Node can run:

node packages/core/dist/cli.js heartbeat serve --interval-minutes 30 --root .

On macOS, inspect then explicitly install a user-level LaunchAgent:

node packages/core/dist/cli.js schedule plan --interval-minutes 30 --root .

node packages/core/dist/cli.js schedule install --confirm-install --interval-minutes 30 --root .

The scheduler is never installed by an MCP tool, a model response, or a page load. Removal requires schedule uninstall --confirm-uninstall.

Status

This repository is being prepared for its first public release. The local-first core is the supported baseline. IMAP, GitHub, Linear, Sentry, and PostHog have read-only adapter tests; host OAuth requires a compatible host's native consent flow, and no remote write adapter is enabled by default.

Publisher and registration model

Openly Useful is the publisher and developer brand. openlyuseful.org is the open-source, publisher, policy, security, and support surface; openlyuseful.com is the Studio/commercial surface. Openly Useful LLC is the planned legal entity and is not represented as formed or active. Openly Useful is currently operated by its founder as an individual, and the founder-owner has authorized external source and registry publication while formation proceeds.

The repository mirror at publisher/publisher.json consumes the published authority endpoint at https://openlyuseful.org/publisher/manifest.json. Provider manifests derive the public name, contact, namespaces, and policy URLs from that record. The repository URL in staged provider metadata is the planned public source at https://github.com/Openly-Useful/operations-pulse.

The canonical skill remains skill/operations-pulse. Provider wrapper copies are generated artifacts, not separately editable sources:

npm run registration:sync

npm run registration:check

The wrappers register the portable skill plus the immutable stdio command npx --yes @openly-useful/operations-pulse-mcp@0.1.0. They do not authenticate an account, install a scheduler, configure adapters, or collect credentials. The corresponding MCP Registry identity is org.openlyuseful/operations-pulse. After installing or upgrading the plugin, start a new Codex task or restart Claude Code so the host refreshes its MCP tools. By default the MCP database is .operations-pulse/pulse.sqlite under the host process working directory; set OPERATIONS_PULSE_DB in the host environment to choose an explicit path.

Local generation and validation are allowed. Public repository creation, package publication, MCP Registry submission, marketplace submission, installation, authentication, and deployment are separate external actions. Both publishable workspaces fail closed at prepublishOnly unless the exact founder-owner authorization, publisher identity, policy sources, namespace, package identity, and repository provenance match the public authority. LLC formation-pending is not itself an npm artifact blocker because Openly Useful is founder-operated and the authorization is explicitly effective during formation. Namespace verification, provider authentication, and provider review remain separate requirements for the relevant registry or provider workflow.
