Is ForumDataAPI — Community Posts, Thread Search & Comments MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 26 of 26 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 452 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect ForumDataAPI — Community Posts, Thread Search & Comments MCP Server?
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 sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to ForumDataAPI — Community Posts, Thread Search & Comments MCP Server?
No API key is involved. ForumDataAPI — Community Posts, Thread Search & Comments MCP Server answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is ForumDataAPI — Community Posts, Thread Search & Comments MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 452 ms on average, which is faster than 27% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
