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

Available tools 4

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

device

device_ping

Check that a device is reachable and how long a round trip takes. Reads no files, needs no shared folder and consumes no credit, so it is the safe way to prove a device is live.

device_tool_call

Execute a tool on a connected device. Use discover first to find available tool names, device IDs, and workspace IDs. When workspace_id, device_id, or directory_id are omitted, the server uses the unambiguous default if one exists.

discover

discover

Discover workspaces, devices, shared folders, and available tools in one call. Call this first to understand what is available before invoking device_tool_call. Automatically selects workspace, device, or folder when only one option exists; returns a list of choices when disambiguation is needed.

health

health

Simple health check — returns server status.

DeviceLink — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can DeviceLink do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: device_ping, device_tool_call, discover, health. 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 DeviceLink 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 320 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect DeviceLink?

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 DeviceLink need an API key?

No. DeviceLink completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is DeviceLink?

It answers our handshake in 320 ms on average, which is faster than 45% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
