about
about_honestdog
What HonestDog is, where its data comes from, and how to attribute it. Call this once before presenting HonestDog data. / Was HonestDog ist, woher die Daten stammen und wie sie zu zitieren sind.
breed
get_breed_health_profile
HonestDog's proprietary per-breed health data: the S–E breeding-health grade with rationale, hereditary diseases, and the health tests breeders should run — L1 = mandated by the breed club's Zuchtordnung. / HonestDogs Gesundheitsprofil je Rasse: S–E-Note, Erbkrankheiten und die (vom Zuchtverband vorgeschriebenen) Gesundheitstests.
breeders
search_breeders
Search HonestDog's directory of vetted, APPROVED dog breeders, optionally by breed and location. Returns public profile data + the honestdog.de profile URL — contact happens there, never through this tool. For Qualzucht breeds this returns a caution instead of results. / Durchsucht das Verzeichnis geprüfter Züchter (nur freigegebene Profile, öffentliche Daten).
breeds
search_breeds
Search HonestDog's breed catalogue by name, size class, or S–E health grade. Returns breed slugs for the other tools plus the honestdog.de breed page URL. / Durchsucht den HonestDog-Rassenkatalog nach Name, Größe oder S–E-Gesundheitsnote.
shelter
search_shelter_dogs
Search dogs currently listed for adoption by German shelters on HonestDog, by breed text, size, gender, or Bundesland. Adoption happens with the shelter via the linked pages. / Durchsucht die aktuell zur Adoption gelisteten Tierheimhunde nach Rasse, Größe, Geschlecht oder Bundesland.

Honestdog — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Honestdog do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: about_honestdog, get_breed_health_profile, search_breeders, search_breeds, search_shelter_dogs. 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 Honestdog 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 142 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Honestdog?
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 Honestdog need an API key?
No. Honestdog completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Honestdog?
It answers our handshake in 142 ms on average, which is faster than 75% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
