Agent Failure Archive — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Agent Failure Archive do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: archive, audit, brief, catalog, contents, precheck and 3 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 →
Is Agent Failure Archive working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 2500 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Agent Failure Archive?
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 Agent Failure Archive need an API key?
No. Agent Failure Archive completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is Agent Failure Archive open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
