framebench — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can framebench do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_game, compare, recommend_upgrade. 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 framebench working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 42 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is framebench still maintained?

The author archived this repository on GitHub, meaning it is no longer maintained. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

The registry lists framebench as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect framebench?

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 framebench need an API key?

No. framebench completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

Is framebench open source?

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