Available tools 6

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

price
check_price_and_stock
Price and stock for a list of items, the subtotal, and whether the order can be bought online now (published prices, within the payment limits) or needs a quote.
product
get_product
Full details for one product: description, specifications and dimensions, options with SKU, price and stock, image and page link.
products
search_products
Search Arctic White's catalog of lab consumables (microplates, deep well plates, reservoirs, sealing mats and films, tubes, filter plates, lab equipment) by catalog number, a competitor's part number, name, well count or type. Returns SKUs, published prices (or 'pricing on request'), stock and product links.
request
request_quote
Ask Arctic White for a quote (any items, including those priced on request, large orders, POs or net terms). We email the buyer a link to confirm the request; once confirmed, our team replies with pricing and lead times, usually within 24 hours.
shipping
get_shipping_estimate
Live FedEx shipping options and prices for the items to a destination, the same rates checkout charges. Needs only the country, postal code and, in the US and Canada, the state.
start
start_checkout
Create a secure Stripe checkout link on arcticsci.com for items with published prices. The buyer opens the link to review the order, see sales tax and pay; nothing is charged until they do. Use the shipping option id from get_shipping_estimate, or leave it out for the lowest rate. Items priced on request, custom made (quote_only) products, or orders over the payment limits need request_quote instead.

Arctic White — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Arctic White do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_price_and_stock, get_product, get_shipping_estimate, request_quote, search_products, start_checkout. 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 Arctic White working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 7 of 92 checks got a reply (7.6%), average response time 335 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Arctic White 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 Arctic White?
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 Arctic White need an API key?
No. Arctic White completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Arctic White?
It answers our handshake in 335 ms on average, which is faster than 42% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
