Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

rosary

get_rosary_mysteries

Call this when the user asks which Rosary mysteries to pray today or on a given day. Returns the mysteries for that day (Joyful Monday and Saturday, Sorrowful Tuesday and Friday, Glorious Wednesday and Sunday, Luminous Thursday), with the five mysteries, their fruits and Douay-Rheims scripture, the weekly schedule and a link to the free guided Rosary. Pass a date (YYYY-MM-DD) or a weekday; with neither, uses today in US Eastern time. Example: "What are the rosary mysteries today?"

list_rosary_mysteries

Call this when the user wants all the Rosary mysteries or how to pray a full Rosary. Returns the four sets of mysteries (Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, Luminous) with the days each is prayed, all twenty mysteries with their fruits and Douay-Rheims scripture, the order of prayers for a full Rosary, and the free guided Rosary link and data file. Example: "List the mysteries of the Rosary."

day

get_day

Call this when the user asks about the reading, date or stage for one of the 90 days. Returns the date, Exodus reading, stage and opening prayer. Pass a day number (1-90) or a calendar date (YYYY-MM-DD). With neither, uses today's date in US Eastern time. Example: "What is today's Exodus 90 reading?"

get_follow_options

Call this when the user asks when the 90 days start, how long until Day 1, or whether there is an app. Returns the official 2027 start date with the official page it comes from, Day 90 and Easter Sunday by our count, days until Day 1 in US Eastern time, and the ways to follow Desert Road Catholic: the web and the free iPhone app are live today, the iPhone app with its App Store link; Android is coming soon and has no link yet. Also gives the Desert Road Catholic YouTube channel and the website signup link. Example: "How many days until Exodus 90 starts, and is there an app?"

Returns the full text of a prayer from the site's Armory, such as the stage prayers (Come Holy Spirit, guardian angel, St. Michael, Memorare, Anima Christi, Te Deum), the Rosary mysteries by day, prayers in temptation or the daily examen. Example: "Give me the Memorare."

Desert Road Catholic — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Desert Road Catholic do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_day, get_follow_options, get_prayer, get_program_info, get_rosary_mysteries, list_rosary_mysteries and 1 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 Desert Road Catholic 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 643 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Desert Road Catholic ever remove tools?

Yes. register is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect Desert Road Catholic?

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 Desert Road Catholic need an API key?

No. Desert Road Catholic completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Desert Road Catholic?

It answers our handshake in 643 ms on average, which is faster than 15% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
