Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check DirectIQ 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 15

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

directiq

directiq_account_overview

Summarize the account: total contacts, active/disabled status counts, list count, tag count, and confirmed sender addresses. Individual sections degrade gracefully if unavailable.

directiq_contact_count

Get the total number of contacts in the account.

directiq_create_list

Create a new contact list.

directiq_create_tag

Create a new tag.

directiq_get_contact

Get a single contact by its numeric ID.

directiq_get_list

Get a contact list by its numeric ID.

directiq_get_tag

Get a tag by its numeric ID.

directiq_list_contacts

List contacts, optionally paginated.

directiq_list_endpoints

List known DirectIQ API operations (HTTP method, API group, path, summary). Optionally filter by a search term. Call GET operations with directiq_read_request and POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE operations with directiq_write_request.

directiq_list_lists

List all contact lists.

directiq_list_tags

List all tags.

directiq_read_request

Issue an authenticated GET request to any DirectIQ endpoint. Use directiq_list_endpoints to discover GET operations (group, path) that have no dedicated tool. Full request/response schemas for each group are in the DirectIQ API docs at https://rest.directiq.com/{group}/swagger/index.html (core, contacts, subscription).

directiq_send_email

Send a transactional email.

directiq_update_contact

Update a contact by ID. Provide the fields to change (e.g. firstName, lastName, email).

directiq_write_request

Issue an authenticated POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE request to any DirectIQ endpoint. May create, modify, or permanently delete account data. Use directiq_list_endpoints to discover operations (method, group, path) that have no dedicated tool. Full request/response schemas for each group are in the DirectIQ API docs at https://rest.directiq.com/{group}/swagger/index.html (core, contacts, subscription).

DirectIQ — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can DirectIQ do?

It exposes 15 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: directiq_account_overview, directiq_contact_count, directiq_create_list, directiq_create_tag, directiq_get_contact, directiq_get_list and 9 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 DirectIQ 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 398 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect DirectIQ?

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 DirectIQ need an API key?

No. DirectIQ completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 15 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is DirectIQ?

It answers our handshake in 398 ms on average, which is faster than 36% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is DirectIQ open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.directiq.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
