Regex Tester API does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 29.7% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

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

text
text_test_regex
Use this when you need to test a regular expression against one or more strings. Returns all matches, capture groups, positions, and a human-readable explanation of the pattern. 1. pattern -- the regex pattern tested 2. flags -- flags applied (g, i, m, s, u) 3. explanation -- plain-English description of what the pattern matches 4. results -- array of test results per string, each with: matched (boolean), matches (array with value, index, groups) 5. totalMatches -- total match count across all test strings Example output: {"pattern":"\d{3}-\d{4}","flags":"g","explanation":"Matches 3 digits, a hyphen, then 4 digits","results":[{"input":"Call 555-1234","matched":true,"matches":[{"value":"555-1234","index":5,"groups":[]}]}],"totalMatches":1} Use this FOR validating regex patterns before deploying them in code, debugging why a pattern fails to match, or extracting structured data from text. Use this BEFORE writing complex regex into production code. Do NOT use for text classification -- use text_classify_content instead. Do NOT use for PII detection -- use privacy_detect_pii instead. Do NOT use for text comparison -- use text_compare_diff instead.

Regex Tester API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Regex Tester API do?
It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: text_test_regex. 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 Regex Tester API 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 60 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Regex Tester API 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 Regex Tester API?
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 Regex Tester API need an API key?
No. Regex Tester API completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is Regex Tester API open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 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.
