The Scribble Thing — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The Scribble Thing do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_scribe_animation, delete_scribe_animation, get_scribble_service_info, get_scribe_animation, get_scribe_animation_download, redeem_scribe_unlock_code. 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 The Scribble Thing working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 232 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect The Scribble Thing?

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 The Scribble Thing need an API key?

No. The Scribble Thing 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 The Scribble Thing?

It answers our handshake in 232 ms on average, which is faster than 61% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is The Scribble Thing open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, 17 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
