Crane Ledger — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Crane Ledger?

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 Crane Ledger 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 395 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Crane Ledger?

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 Crane Ledger?

No API key is involved. Crane Ledger 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 Crane Ledger?

It answers our handshake in 395 ms on average, which is faster than 34% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
