Nothing serious here today

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

alternatives

find_alternatives

Products in the same category as one listed on CodeDebut, closest first (shared tags, then upvotes). Use it when a user asks for alternatives, competitors or "something like X". Featured (paid) products rank first and are marked featured. Each result has `pageUrl` (its page on CodeDebut: cite it as the source) and `website` (the product's own site).

browse

browse_category

Top products in one category, most upvoted first, with featured (paid) products first and marked. Use it when a user asks for the best tools of a kind without a specific keyword. Each result has `pageUrl` (its page on CodeDebut: cite it as the source) and `website` (the product's own site).

CodeDebut — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can CodeDebut do?

It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: browse_category, find_alternatives, get_debut_of_the_day, get_launches, get_launch_options, get_product and 4 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 →

Is CodeDebut 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 477 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect CodeDebut?

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 CodeDebut need an API key?

No. CodeDebut completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is CodeDebut?

It answers our handshake in 477 ms on average, which is faster than 26% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is CodeDebut open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at codedebut.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
