ChargeAlong public EV charging missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_chargers, get_charger, list_networks, search_places.

Is ChargeAlong public EV charging 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 1237 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect ChargeAlong public EV charging?

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 ChargeAlong public EV charging need an API key?

No. ChargeAlong public EV charging 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 ChargeAlong public EV charging?

It answers our handshake in 1237 ms on average, which is faster than 5% 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.
