Civiq — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Civiq do?

It exposes 47 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: analyze_consumer_protection_influence, analyze_district_comprehensive, analyze_energy_policy_influence, analyze_environmental_influence, analyze_industry_regulatory_landscape, analyze_policy_area_ecosystem and 41 more. 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 →

What is Civiq mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around district, analyze and state. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Civiq working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 6 of 91 checks got a reply (6.6%), average response time 467 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Civiq 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 Civiq?

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 Civiq need an API key?

No. Civiq completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 47 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Civiq?

It answers our handshake in 467 ms on average, which is faster than 33% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Civiq open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
