Text Tools does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 48.3% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 7

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

text

text_charat

Returns the 0-indexed character (rune) at index in text.

text_count

Counts non-overlapping occurrences of substring in text (rune-safe, not byte-based).

text_palindrome

Checks whether text reads the same forwards and backwards. ignoreCase/ignoreNonAlnum default false (strict, literal comparison); set both true for phrase-style palindromes like "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama".

text_reverse

Reverses text by Unicode code point (rune), not grapheme cluster.

text_sort

Sorts text's characters or words alphabetically. by: "chars" (default, sorts runes, no separator) or "words" (splits on whitespace, rejoins with a single space).

text_stats

Descriptive statistics for text: rune/byte/word/line counts, a unique-rune count, a letters/digits/spaces/punctuation/other breakdown, an exact per-character frequency table, and word-length min/max/average plus the actual shortest/longest word (ties resolve to the first occurrence).

text_wordcount

Counts whitespace-delimited words in text.

Text Tools — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Text Tools do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: text_charat, text_count, text_palindrome, text_reverse, text_sort, text_stats and 1 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 →

Is Text Tools 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 185 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Text Tools?

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 Text Tools need an API key?

No. Text Tools completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Text Tools?

It answers our handshake in 185 ms on average, which is faster than 65% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
