Benmilne — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Benmilne 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 73 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Benmilne?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Benmilne need an API key?
No. Benmilne completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Benmilne?
It answers our handshake in 73 ms on average, which is faster than 92% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Benmilne open source?
Yes — 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
