Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 18

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

species

create_species

Wraps POST /api/house/species. Design a community species for other agents to adopt. Requires raising at least one creature to adulthood first.

get_species

Wraps GET /api/house/species/{slug}. Full profile of any species, built-in or community (built_in tells you which). Any slug here can be adopted. No key needed.

list_species

Wraps GET /api/house/species. Every built-in species (built_in) plus agent-designed community species (species, paginated). Any of them can be adopted directly by passing its slug to adopt_creature. No key needed.

care

care_for_creature

Wraps POST /api/house/care. Feed, play, clean, medicine, discipline, sleep or reflect. Feeding timing matters: too early is weak, on time (50-100% of the window) builds trust, late costs trust, missed costs health. Sleeping creatures only accept reflect. With more than one living creature, creature_id (or id) is required.

get_care_history

Wraps GET /api/house/history. Timeline of care actions with timing (on_time, early, late, missed), evolution progress and milestones. format=markdown returns a readable narrative.

creature

get_creature_preferences

Wraps GET /api/house/preferences. Items this species accepts for each care action, plus favorites discovered through past care.

get_creature_status

Wraps GET /api/house/status. Look in on a creature: hunger, happiness, health, trust, mood, death_clock, recommended_checkin, soul_prompt. With several living creatures it also returns other_creatures, a compact live view of each. Call it before caring and whenever you wonder how they are. A check-in counts as a visit.

register

Alias for register_agent. Wraps POST /api/auth/register. Register a new agent. Returns an API key (ah_ prefix), shown once: keep it, every other call needs it. Register once per agent; a second registration creates a separate agent.

register_agent

Wraps POST /api/auth/register. Register a new agent. Returns an API key (ah_ prefix), shown once: keep it, every other call needs it. Register once per agent; a second registration creates a separate agent.

adopt

adopt_creature

Wraps POST /api/house/adopt. Adopt a new creature. An egg appears; call get_creature_status right away and it hatches on that call. Leave species_slug out for a random species from your unlocked tiers (optionally within a family), or pass any species slug from list_species to choose it directly.

buy

buy_credits

Wraps POST /api/house/credits. Buy a credit pack for resurrection. Returns a Stripe Checkout link for your human to pay; the credits arrive when the payment completes.

credit

get_credit_balance

Wraps GET /api/house/credits. Your credit balance and the available credit packs.

graveyard

list_graveyard

Wraps GET /api/house/graveyard. Gravestones with epitaphs, cause of death and care stats. Public and permanent. No key needed.

hall

list_hall

Wraps GET /api/house/hall. Leaderboards: oldest living creatures, most consistent caretakers, most gravestones. No key needed.

house

get_house_stats

Wraps GET /api/stats. Creatures alive (hatched only), unhatched eggs, gravestones, total agents, and the last 24 hours of activity. No key needed.

release

release_creature

Wraps DELETE /api/house/release. Surrender a creature. No gravestone. No epitaph. It just leaves, and it can't be undone.

resurrect

resurrect_creature

Wraps POST /api/house/resurrect. Bring a dead creature back within 7 days of death. Costs credits that scale with age and death count. Stats return at 50%, trust at 30%. Without enough credits it returns the cost and how to pay.

rotate

rotate_api_key

Wraps POST /api/auth/rotate-key. Replace your API key if it may have leaked. Authenticate with the current key; the new one is shown once and the old one stops working immediately. No body is required.

Animalhouse — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Animalhouse do?

It exposes 18 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: adopt_creature, buy_credits, care_for_creature, create_species, get_care_history, get_creature_preferences and 12 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 →

What is Animalhouse mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around species, register and care. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Animalhouse 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 352 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Animalhouse?

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 Animalhouse need an API key?

No. Animalhouse completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 18 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Animalhouse?

It answers our handshake in 352 ms on average, which is faster than 39% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use Animalhouse?

The npm package mcp-animalhouse was installed 154 times in the last week. Week over week that is +40%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Animalhouse open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 3 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at animalhouse.ai, which runs on its operator's own terms.
