Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Swiss Army every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Swiss Army — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Swiss Army do?

It exposes 23 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: classify_gdpr, convert_currency, convert_timezone, csv_to_json, decode_base64, detect_secrets and 17 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 Swiss Army mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around validate, generate and convert. 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 Swiss Army 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 272 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Swiss Army?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Swiss Army need an API key?

No. Swiss Army completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 23 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Swiss Army?

It answers our handshake in 272 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
