Instafan does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 99.4% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 5

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

build

build_itinerary

Build a day-by-day itinerary for a destination from its strongest real places. Returns the plan plus links to run it as a group trip on Instafan.

destination

destination_brief

A short brief on one destination: what it is like, typical weather now, official safety verdict. Use before or instead of a full itinerary.

destinations

find_destinations

Suggest 3-5 destinations for a trip mood or constraint set, e.g. "somewhere warm in November, food-first". Use when the traveller has not settled on a place yet.

spot

spot_photos

Real photos of one spot — up to two shown inline plus direct photo links. Name a specific place ("Belém Tower") or leave spot empty for a postcard of the destination itself.

top

top_spots

The strongest real places in a destination — top attractions by default, or a specific ask like "specialty coffee" or "rooftop bars". Real Google-rated places, never invented.

Instafan — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Instafan do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: build_itinerary, destination_brief, find_destinations, spot_photos, top_spots. 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 Instafan 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 313 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Instafan?

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.

Does Instafan need an API key?

No. Instafan completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Instafan?

It answers our handshake in 313 ms on average, which is faster than 49% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Instafan open source?

We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
