Nothing serious here today

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

Chess DNA — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Chess DNA do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: elo_change, rating_meaning, recent_games. 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 Chess DNA working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 177 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Chess DNA?
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 Chess DNA need an API key?
No. Chess DNA completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Chess DNA?
It answers our handshake in 177 ms on average, which is faster than 77% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
