Available tools 2

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

plants
search_plants
Search New Zealand's live wholesale plant market: which wholesale growers list a plant, in which pot sizes, and from what trade price (NZD, ex GST). Use it for "who grows X" or "what does X cost wholesale". Botanical or common names both work.
price
price_plant_list
Price a whole plant list or planting schedule from wholesale growers' live stock lists: each line matched to a grower, size and trade price, with the growers near the job preferred. Returns the priced lines and a link to the priced list on HortOS, which the person opens, checks and sends themselves. This tool does not place an order.

HortOS (New Zealand) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can HortOS (New Zealand) do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: price_plant_list, search_plants. 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 HortOS (New Zealand) 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 1106 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect HortOS (New Zealand)?
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 HortOS (New Zealand) need an API key?
No. HortOS (New Zealand) completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is HortOS (New Zealand)?
It answers our handshake in 1106 ms on average, which is faster than 5% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
