Merchant Context — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Merchant Context do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_merchant, get_service_info, inspect_merchant. 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 Merchant Context working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 58 of 58 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1362 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Merchant Context?
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 Merchant Context need an API key?
No. Merchant Context 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 Merchant Context?
It answers our handshake in 1362 ms on average, which is faster than 2% 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.
Is Merchant Context open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 5 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
