Available tools 5

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

area

get_area_trends

Start here for any neighborhood or trend question. Pass city and place, such as Milwaukee and Harbor View. Returns counts by crime type versus the city, counts by month, noon-to-midnight share, top streets, and a few notable incidents. One call covers up to 450 days. A lat/lon box is optional. Do not download citywide incidents and filter them yourself.

city

get_city_crimes

One page of individual incidents inside a lat/lon box. Counts, shares, months, and streets belong on get_area_trends. A window longer than 45 days without lat_min, lat_max, lon_min, and lon_max is refused. Chicago's portal withholds about the last seven days. New York publishes complaints after a quarter closes.

crime

get_crime_stats

Citywide counts, date range, and top crime types. There is no neighborhood or lat/lon filter. For a place, call get_area_trends.

crimes

search_crimes

Text search of crime types and descriptions. There is no neighborhood box. A place name such as Harbor View is usually absent from the incident text. For a place, call get_area_trends.

resolve

resolve_place

Return the lat/lon edges of a neighborhood or rough area. Call this only when you need those edges. For trends, call get_area_trends with the place name and skip this tool. The suggested query is a short incident list, not a trend summary.

CuffTracker — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can CuffTracker do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_area_trends, get_city_crimes, get_crime_stats, resolve_place, search_crimes. 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 CuffTracker working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 1 of 182 checks got a reply (0.5%), average response time 2776 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is CuffTracker still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

The registry lists CuffTracker as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect CuffTracker?

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 CuffTracker need an API key?

No. CuffTracker completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
