Common questions

Is Presence 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 (0.2.0) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

presence-mcp

PyPI launcher that exposes presence's living project model and outcome telemetry as MCP resources for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, and other MCP-aware clients.

presence is a Claude Code plugin. It already ships a stdio MCP server at lib/cli.py mcp and exposes two read-only resources per repository (see What you get). This package is the PyPI shim that lets that server be listed in the official MCP Registry and invoked with a single command name in every per-client config, instead of an absolute path that varies per machine.

The launcher itself speaks no MCP. It locates a local presence install and forwards stdio to python lib/cli.py mcp. About 40 lines of Python, stdlib only.

Quick start

pip install presence-mcp

Then point any MCP client at the presence-mcp command. For Claude Desktop, that's:

"mcpServers": { "presence": { "command": "presence-mcp" } } }

Full per-client config for Cursor and Continue below. Requires Python 3.12+ and a local presence install.

What you get

Two read-only MCP resources, one per repository you've worked on:

URI	Content	MIME type
`presence:// /model`	Living `model.md` (Markdown)	`text/markdown`
`presence:// /telemetry`	Recent commit / revert / verification claims (JSON array)	`application/json`

is a 12-char SHA-256 prefix of the repo. The server resolves the current repo from the launcher's working directory; see Working-directory caveat. Resource schema and protocol details: presence's docs/mcp.md.

Per-client configuration

The same presence-mcp command works in every client.

Claude Desktop

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS), or the equivalent on Windows / Linux:

"mcpServers": { "presence": { "command": "presence-mcp" } } }

Cursor

.cursor/mcp.json in the project root, or the global Cursor MCP settings:

"mcpServers": { "presence": { "command": "presence-mcp" } } }

Continue

~/.continue/config.json:

"mcpServers": [ { "name": "presence", "command": "presence-mcp" } ] }

Verify the install

The launcher accepts JSON-RPC on stdin. Pasting {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize"} and pressing Enter should yield an initialize response. You can also invoke it as python -m presence_mcp if a console script isn't convenient.

Environment variables

Variable	Purpose
`PRESENCE_MCP_CLI`	Absolute path to presence's `lib/cli.py`. Overrides the default `~/.claude/plugins/presence/lib/cli.py` lookup. If set but the path is missing, the launcher errors out instead of falling back, so typos surface.
`PRESENCE_MCP_PYTHON`	Python interpreter to run presence with. Defaults to `sys.executable` of the launcher itself. Useful when presence is installed under a different Python (for example, a project venv).

If presence-mcp reports it could not locate presence, install presence at the standard Claude Code plugin path, or set PRESENCE_MCP_CLI.

Working-directory caveat

presence's MCP server resolves the current repo from the launcher's working directory via git rev-parse --show-toplevel. MCP clients that launch the server from a fixed directory will only see one repo. To switch repos, either launch a separate instance per project (set cwd in the client's per-server config), or restart the server from the target project root.

Compatibility

Python: 3.12 or newer. CI matrix covers 3.12 / 3.13 / 3.14.
presence: tested with >= 0.6.0. Older versions back to v0.4.1 (where the MCP server first shipped) may still work but are not exercised by CI.
Platforms: Linux and macOS exercised in CI. Windows is untested in v0.1.0. The launcher uses subprocess.run which is cross-platform, but the default presence install path (~/.claude/plugins/presence/lib/cli.py) needs a real Windows install to confirm. Report issues if you try it.

This launcher is protocol-agnostic: it does not rev when presence ships new MCP resources. It only revs when its own resolution logic, CLI surface, or server.json content changes.

Where to file issues

Launcher bugs (path detection, install errors, CLI argument forwarding): issues on this repo.
Resource-content bugs (what presence://*/model returns, telemetry schema, working-directory behavior, anything about the protocol itself): issues on the presence repo.

Disambiguation

presence's MCP server advertises serverInfo.name = "presence-mcp" in its initialize response. That's the server's MCP identity. This package is the PyPI launcher. The names match by intent.
