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

compare
compare_plans
Rank certified Texas electricity plans for a zip by real twelve-month cost at a monthly kWh average. Returns verified_as_of with every number.
compare_this_house
Rank certified Texas electricity plans for a street address using a twelve-month usage profile for that meter. Prefer this over compare_plans when the user has an address. The profile is an estimate for the premise, not Smart Meter Texas interval reads. If the meter is found but has no usage history, ranks against a modeled Texas seasonal estimate at 1,000 kWh/month and says so. Never store or repeat the street. Returns verified_as_of with every number.
explain
explain_plan
The receipt for one plan at a zip and usage: monthly line items, credits earned or missed, gotchas. Identify the plan by id, slug, or name.
territory
check_territory
Whether a zip is in the deregulated Texas market, and which TDU serves it.

BillTruth — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can BillTruth do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_territory, compare_plans, compare_this_house, explain_plan. 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 BillTruth working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 319 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists BillTruth 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 BillTruth?
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 BillTruth need an API key?
No. BillTruth 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.
