Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Orbit every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

integrate
integrate
Get integration details for public endpoints and MCPs from `search` results. Provide a `task` describing what you want to accomplish and up to 10 `resources` — each with an `id` and `type` taken from the matching search result's `resourceType`. Returns a task brief covering authentication, base URLs, request steps, parameters, expected responses, dependencies between steps, and other important considerations.
search
search
Find and evaluate public API endpoints and MCPs that match your query. Set `q` to a natural language query, keywords, an API name, or a question — results are matched by meaning and keyword; each result includes `id`, `resourceType` (`endpoint` or `mcp`), `name`, `description`, `method` (for an `endpoint`) or `transport` (for an `mcp`), `url`, and `evaluateGuide` — an evaluation of what the endpoint or MCP does, when to use it, and its limitations. Review `evaluateGuide` to pick the best fit, then pass each chosen result's `id` and `resourceType` (as `type`) to `integrate`. Paginate with `cursor` from `meta.nextCursor` (`limit` defaults to 10, max 25; pagination stops at 40 results total). No authentication required. Best practices for querying: - Use focused keyword queries that include the product or provider name along with the endpoint details, for example "PayPal create invoice". - Alternatively, use natural language queries such as "PayPal API to create an invoice". - Avoid jumbled queries that cram many unrelated keywords into a single query, for example "paypal invoice payment delivery payments ordering". - Avoid OR-separated queries such as "paypal invoice OR paypal create invoice OR paypal OR invoice creation". - If you need to explore multiple intents, try each as a separate call.

Orbit — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Orbit do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: integrate, search. 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 Orbit 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 578 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Orbit?
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 Orbit need an API key?
No. Orbit completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Orbit?
It answers our handshake in 578 ms on average, which is faster than 22% 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.
