Nothing serious here today

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

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, and it signs you in through your browser: there is no API key to paste.

Common Elements — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Common Elements?

The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.

Is Common Elements 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 293 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Common Elements?

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. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.

How do you sign in to Common Elements?

No API key is involved. Common Elements answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.

How fast is Common Elements?

It answers our handshake in 293 ms on average, which is faster than 49% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Common Elements open source?

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