This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, and it signs you in through your browser: there is no API key to paste.

HonkIO — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for HonkIO?
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: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is HonkIO 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 293 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is HonkIO still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect HonkIO?
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. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to HonkIO?
No API key is involved. HonkIO answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is HonkIO?
It answers our handshake in 293 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.
How many people use HonkIO?
The npm package @honkio/mcp was installed 395 times in the last week. Week over week that is -15%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
