Lumen does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 93.2% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Lumen — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Lumen do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: lumen_about, lumen_models, lumen_pricing, usage_get. 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 Lumen working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 41 of 44 checks got a reply (93.2%), average response time 152 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Lumen?

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 Lumen need an API key?

No. Lumen 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 Lumen?

It answers our handshake in 152 ms on average, which is faster than 82% 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.
