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.

city

get_city_inspections

Return one MCP App card of the worst restaurants in chicago, nyc, minneapolis, milwaukee, austin, or denver. Pass limit 500. One call is enough. Use this for a bad or nasty place in a city. Do not page, and do not quote inspector comments.

milwaukee

get_milwaukee_inspections

Return one MCP App card of the worst Milwaukee restaurants. Pass limit 500 so the card ranks a wide recent window. One call is enough. Do not page, and do not quote inspector comments.

nearby

find_nearby_restaurants

Find restaurants near a point or address and return an MCP App card for each. Default radius is a quarter mile.

restaurants

search_restaurants

Look up a restaurant by name and return an MCP App card for each match. Use this when someone asks to see a named place, such as Auntie Anne's in Milwaukee. The card is the answer. Do not rewrite inspection comments.

show

show_inspection

Answer a restaurant question with a card or a map. Use a restaurant name for a card, or a violation term plus a city for a map (for example pest inspections in Milwaukee). Hosts that support MCP Apps render the card or map inline. The text result still names the matches for hosts that only show text.

Safe Bite — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Safe Bite do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_nearby_restaurants, get_city_inspections, get_milwaukee_inspections, search_restaurants, show_inspection. 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 Safe Bite working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 9 of 91 checks got a reply (9.9%), average response time 528 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Safe Bite 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 Safe Bite 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 Safe Bite?

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 Safe Bite need an API key?

No. Safe Bite 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.

How fast is Safe Bite?

It answers our handshake in 528 ms on average, which is faster than 22% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
