GovTribe does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 97.5% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

GovTribe — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for GovTribe?

The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 98.9% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.

Is GovTribe working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 91 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 71 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect GovTribe?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path 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 GovTribe need an API key?

Yes. Every time we knock, GovTribe 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 GovTribe?

It answers our handshake in 71 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.
