OpenAI Tools MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can OpenAI Tools MCP Server do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: createImage, createImageEdit, createImageVariation, createModeration, createTranscription, createTranslation and 3 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 OpenAI Tools MCP Server 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 202 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect OpenAI Tools MCP Server?
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 OpenAI Tools MCP Server need an API key?
No. OpenAI Tools MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is OpenAI Tools MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 202 ms on average, which is faster than 71% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is OpenAI Tools MCP Server open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in HTML, 9 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at openai-tools.run.mcp.com.ai, which runs on its operator's own terms.
