Apple RAG missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

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

fetch
fetch
Read a public webpage by URL. Uses indexed Apple documentation and video transcripts first, then official document JSON or live webpage extraction. Responses identify their original source and retrieval method. External pages are cached separately and never automatically added to Apple search.
search
search
Search official Apple developer documentation and WWDC video transcripts using hybrid retrieval (keyword + semantic), followed by Jev relevance ranking of the merged candidates. Returns ranked source excerpts; use fetch for complete page content.

Apple RAG — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Apple RAG do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: fetch, search. 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 Apple RAG 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 503 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Apple RAG 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.
How do I connect Apple RAG?
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 Apple RAG need an API key?
No. Apple RAG completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Apple RAG?
It answers our handshake in 503 ms on average, which is faster than 24% 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.
