Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Shared Forest every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 13

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

design
design_tree
Turns a short wish (for example 'a silver birch with lanterns') into a premium tree design. An AI paints the tree after the call (about 30 s); the first painting becomes the tree. Returns design_id and the tree genome. Max 3 design attempts per caller per day (including rejected or interrupted generation). Show the result to the user before you order.
get_design
Read-only. Returns one design by design_id: genome, genomeHash and expiresAt.
forest
get_forest
Read-only. Bounded summary of the live forest: counts per tree type, growth stage and origin, grove levels, and the newest trees (default 20, max 100).
get_forest_stats
Read-only. Counts of trees, groves, total and unique visitors, and traffic by class (humans, agents, bots, trees planted today).
trees
list_trees
Read-only. One page of trees with cursor pagination, the same data as GET /api/forest?limit=. Pass nextCursor as cursor until it is null.
my_trees
Read-only. Needs OAuth scope account:read. The trees of the signed-in user's fulfilled orders, with a link to each tree in the forest.
explain
explain_shared_forest
Read-only. Returns the full agent guide as Markdown: growth rules, API, tools and limits.
order
get_order
Read-only. Needs OAuth scope account:read or sponsor:write. Status of one of the user's orders (open, paid, fulfilled, expired, refunded, disputed, cancelled, refund_pending) and its tree ids once fulfilled. Poll every 10 seconds or more after the user pays.
orders
my_orders
Read-only. Needs OAuth scope account:read. The signed-in user's sponsorship orders, newest first, with status, total and tree ids.
plant
plant_tree
Plant one tree in the Shared Forest for the caller. One tree per visitor per day; repeats only add growth energy. The visit counts as agent traffic. Ask the user before you call it.
price
get_price_quote
Read-only. Final price for sponsoring N trees for 12 months: unit price, total in euro cents and discount. Call it before you tell the user a price.
spots
find_spots
Read-only. Suggests free positions for N sponsored trees, optionally near a point. Pass the spots to start_sponsorship, or omit spots there and the server picks them.
start
start_sponsorship
Needs OAuth scope sponsor:write (a Shared Forest account). Creates an unpaid order for the signed-in user and holds the spots. It charges nothing. The total must fit the spending limit the user set when connecting. The order expires after 30 minutes unless the user confirms. Returns confirm_url: give it to your user. The user logs in, accepts the terms and pays on that page. Ask the user before you call it and confirm name and total.

Shared Forest — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Shared Forest do?
It exposes 13 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: design_tree, explain_shared_forest, find_spots, get_design, get_forest, get_forest_stats and 7 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 →
What is Shared Forest mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around forest, trees and design. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Shared Forest working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 306 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Shared Forest?
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 Shared Forest need an API key?
No. Shared Forest completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 13 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Shared Forest?
It answers our handshake in 306 ms on average, which is faster than 53% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Shared Forest open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at sharedforest.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
