Nothing serious here today

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

Available tools 4

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

blog
list_blog_posts
List the 10 most recent posts from the Capacitor tag of the official Ionic blog, newest first. Use this when the question is about what is new — recent releases, announcements or deprecations. The blog covers both Capacitor and Ionic Framework. Returns `title`, `date`, `tags`, `url` and `excerpt` per post. Do not use this to answer a documentation question: the feed only carries the newest posts, so search the documentation with `search_docs` instead.
doc
get_doc_page
Read the full markdown of a single page of the official Capacitor documentation. Use this after `search_docs` to read a page end to end before writing code against a plugin API, a CLI command or a native configuration, because search snippets are deliberately short and regularly omit required setup steps. Returns the page title, its URL, the documentation version and the complete page markdown including code samples. Do not use this to find a page: it needs an exact URL or path, so run `search_docs` first. Do not use it for pages outside capacitorjs.com — Capawesome plugins and Capawesome Cloud are covered by the Capawesome MCP server at https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp, Ionic Framework UI components by the Ionic Framework MCP server at https://ionic-framework-mcp.capawesome.io/mcp.
docs
search_docs
Search the official Capacitor documentation from capacitorjs.com by keyword. Use this first for any question about Capacitor itself — the CLI, the `capacitor.config` file, the native Android and iOS projects, the official plugin APIs, or upgrading to a newer major version — because guessing an API, a configuration option or a CLI flag produces broken code. Returns the best matching page sections with `title`, `url`, `snippet`, `section` and `version`, plus the `parentTitle` and `parentUrl` of the page a section belongs to. The same results are attached as structured content. Do not use this to read a whole page (call `get_doc_page` with a `url` from these results), to look up Capawesome plugins such as @capawesome/capacitor-file-picker or Capawesome Cloud services such as Live Updates, Native Builds and App Store Publishing (use the Capawesome MCP server at https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp instead), or to look up Ionic Framework UI components (use the Ionic Framework MCP server at https://ionic-framework-mcp.capawesome.io/mcp instead).
plugins
list_plugins
List Capacitor plugins: the official plugins maintained by the Capacitor team and community plugins from the awesome-capacitorjs list maintained by Capawesome. Use this to find a plugin for a native capability before writing custom native code, and to learn which package name and maintainer a capability belongs to. Returns `name`, `description`, `source`, `maintainer` and `url` per plugin, plus `core: true` for a plugin that ships with @capacitor/core and `experimental: true` for an experimental one. Results are ranked by relevance, with official Capacitor plugins ranked first, then plugins maintained by Capawesome, then other community plugins. Do not use this to read a plugin's API: call `get_doc_page` with the `url` of an official plugin, and use the Capawesome MCP server at https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp for Capawesome plugins.

Capacitor MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Capacitor MCP do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_doc_page, list_blog_posts, list_plugins, search_docs. 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 Capacitor MCP 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 241 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Capacitor MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Capacitor MCP need an API key?
No. Capacitor MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Capacitor MCP?
It answers our handshake in 241 ms on average, which is faster than 69% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Capacitor MCP?
The npm package @capawesome/capacitor-mcp was installed 6 times in the last week. Week over week that is -85%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Capacitor MCP open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at capacitor-mcp.capawesome.io, which runs on its operator's own terms.
