What is Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around business and service. 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 Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 312 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents 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 Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents?
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 Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents need an API key?
No. Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents 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.
