inference.sh — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can inference.sh do?
It exposes 25 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: app_get, app_list, app_run, knowledge_create, knowledge_delete, knowledge_get and 19 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is inference.sh mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around mcp, skill and knowledge. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is inference.sh working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 91 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect inference.sh?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does inference.sh need an API key?
No. inference.sh completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 25 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is inference.sh?
It answers our handshake in 91 ms on average, which is faster than 86% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
