Nothing serious here today

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

Uxspot MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Uxspot MCP do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: define_term, get_checklist, get_curriculum, list_checklists, list_ux_tools, search_curriculum and 2 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 Uxspot MCP 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 132 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Uxspot MCP?

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 will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.

Does Uxspot MCP need an API key?

Yes. Every time we knock, Uxspot MCP answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.

How fast is Uxspot MCP?

It answers our handshake in 132 ms on average, which is faster than 86% 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.

Is Uxspot MCP open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 2 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at uxspot.io, which runs on its operator's own terms.
