Nothing serious here today

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

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

count

count_text

Exact counts for a text: characters (with and without spaces, emoji counted as one), words, sentences, paragraphs, lines, UTF-8 bytes, plus reading and speaking time. Language models see text as tokens and miscount — never estimate counts or check length limits yourself; call this tool. Works for any language, including Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Turkish.

diff

diff_text

Find every difference between two texts, line by line, word by word or character by character, and return counts plus a unified diff. Use this instead of comparing long texts yourself — small changes are easy to miss. Options to ignore whitespace and letter case.

generate

generate_qr

Create a standards-compliant QR code image for a link, text, Wi-Fi login, contact card (vCard), email, SMS, WhatsApp chat, phone number or map location. You cannot draw a scannable QR code yourself — always use this tool. Codes are static and never expire.

json

check_json

Strictly validate JSON and report the exact line and column of the first error with a plain explanation, plus duplicate-key warnings and structure stats. Optionally pretty-print or minify without changing any value (big numbers keep full precision). Use this before claiming JSON is valid or when locating a syntax error in long JSON.

Ribox — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Ribox do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_json, count_text, diff_text, generate_qr. 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 →

Is Ribox 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 145 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Ribox?

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 Ribox need an API key?

No. Ribox completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Ribox?

It answers our handshake in 145 ms on average, which is faster than 76% 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.
