Rtcf does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 0.5% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

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

improve

improve_followup

Write the user's NEXT message for an AI conversation that is already in progress (a follow-up). Use when the user wants to refine, deepen, or continue earlier work in this conversation. Do NOT use it for a brand-new task (use improve_prompt for that). Returns a short, ready-to-send continuation message that anchors to the existing work instead of restarting it. Requires an API key (add ?key=rk_live_... to the connector URL).

improve_prompt

Rewrite a rough prompt into a sharper, ready-to-use prompt structured as Role, Task, Context, Format (RTCF). Returns the improved prompt, its four parts, a short list of clarifying questions worth asking the user, and which model tier and effort level suit this kind of work. Use this before answering when the user's request is vague, or when the user asks to improve a prompt.

build

build_prompt

Compose a ready-to-use prompt from explicit Role, Task, Context, and Format parts. Use when the user already knows the pieces and wants them woven into one clean prompt.

Rtcf — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Rtcf do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: build_prompt, improve_followup, improve_prompt. 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 Rtcf working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 2 of 91 checks got a reply (2.2%), average response time 473 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Rtcf 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 Rtcf?

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 Rtcf need an API key?

No. Rtcf 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.

How fast is Rtcf?

It answers our handshake in 473 ms on average, which is faster than 33% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Rtcf 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.
