Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Incident Library 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 5

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

incidents
list_incidents
Lists cases by category, newest first, one page at a time: `count` and `cases` (id, title, organisation, date, root cause, page url), plus `next_cursor` when more remain; call again with `cursor` for the following page. Use when the question names a category (a root cause, component, symptom, contributing factor, domain or organisation) rather than a symptom sentence; for a sentence use search_incidents, and for one category with its related categories counted use get_topic. Each filter is a slug (kebab-case) of its own kind: `symptom` is what was observed (pod-pending), `factor` is a condition that made it worse (no-alerting), `root_cause` is why it happened (capacity). Filters combine with AND. An unknown slug returns count 0 with no error; find the slug with vocab when you only have words. Reads only; the same filters return the same page.
search_incidents
Use first, whenever someone describes a failure they are seeing. Pass the symptoms as a sentence or a few words, in English or Korean; returns every reviewed public post-incident report the search finds for it, best match first: `total` is how many, `results` is one page of them in full (each with the case id, the page url and the source link), `matched` is every one as a row, and `next_cursor` fetches the next page. `interpreted` lists the values the sentence named, organisations included (the search moves cases carrying them up); `facets` count the results by root cause, component, symptom, contributing factor and organisation with the case ids, which answers 'what usually caused this' from the same call. The optional slug filters keep only cases carrying those values (AND); take slugs from facets, interpreted or vocab. Follow with get_incident for the full case.
incident
get_incident
Returns one case in full by its id: the structured write-up (symptoms, trigger, root cause, components, contributing factors, summary, impact, timeline, detection, remediation, action items, lessons), its sources with archived copies, and `similar_cases`. Use after search_incidents, list_incidents or get_topic has given you a case id; not for finding cases (use search_incidents for symptoms, list_incidents or get_topic for a category). `lang: ko` returns the Korean text of each field where the reviewers wrote one, otherwise English. The id must look like IL-0007; an id of that shape that matches no approved case returns an error result saying so, and an id of another shape is rejected before the call. Every call for the same id returns the same case.
topic
get_topic
Returns one vocabulary value with every case that carries it and, under `related`, the other four kinds counted over those cases with case ids: for a symptom, the root causes behind it (answers 'what usually causes this'); for a root cause, the components and factors seen with it. Use when you already have a slug and want the picture around it; use vocab to find the slug from words, list_incidents for a plain paged list, search_incidents for a symptom sentence. `kind` is the slug's category: root_causes, components, symptoms, factors or orgs (the organisations that published cases). With `symptoms`, the page keeps only the cases that sentence finds, best match first, and `query` echoes it, so 'certificate expiry, but only where DNS was involved' is one call. The answer is not paged: `count` and `cases` hold every case of the value (at most a few dozen today). An unknown slug or a slug of the wrong kind returns an error result naming it; nothing is written.
vocab
vocab
Resolves words to vocabulary slugs for the filters of search_incidents, list_incidents and get_topic. With `query`, returns `matches`: the `limit` values nearest in meaning to the words, nearest first, each with kind, slug, English and Korean name and page url (e.g. 'cert ran out' finds certificate-expiry); `kind` restricts to one category. There is no similarity cutoff: the list is always `limit` long, so when the words name nothing in the library the matches are far from them; read the names before using a slug, and when none fits, search with search_incidents instead of filtering. Without `query`, returns every value of every kind with names, aliases and definitions (a large answer; prefer `query`). Reads only.

Incident Library — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Incident Library do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_incident, get_topic, list_incidents, search_incidents, vocab. 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 Incident Library working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 69 of 69 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1016 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Incident Library?
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 Incident Library need an API key?
No. Incident Library completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Incident Library?
It answers our handshake in 1016 ms on average, which is faster than 5% 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.
Is Incident Library open source?
We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
