Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check IIS Rescue every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

pathfinder

get_pathfinder_questions

The questions the IIS Rescue two-minute assessment asks in order to recommend a migration path, with the allowed answers for each. Ask these of the user, then pass the answers to run_pathfinder. "unknown" is a valid answer to every question and never breaks the result.

run_pathfinder

Recommend a migration path — Rehost, Rebuild or Replace — for a specific legacy IIS website, from answers to the two-minute assessment questions. Returns the recommendation, a confidence level, the alternatives and when they would apply, what pushes the price up or down, the specific risks these answers imply, and the reasoning behind the call. This is the same deterministic engine, over the same data, that iisrescue.com/two-minute-assessment runs for a human visitor: identical answers give an identical result. It is an estimate and not a quote, and it returns no price figure — IIS Rescue publishes no rate card.

contact

get_contact

How to start an engagement with IIS Rescue: the consultation URL and how the process works. Returns a pointer only — it never books anything or collects any personal data.

eol

get_eol_facts

Microsoft end-of-support dates for Windows Server and SQL Server versions, with the source URL for each, plus the Extended Security Updates cutoff.

faq

get_faq

Published questions and answers about legacy IIS, classic ASP and SQL Server website migration, reproduced verbatim from the website.

migration

get_migration_paths

The three routes off a legacy IIS server — Rehost, Rebuild, Replace — each with what it involves and the situation it best fits.

offering

get_offering

The public offering of IIS Rescue: the three migration paths, the promises made on every project, the pricing model, and who the service is for.

partner

get_partner_channel

How IIS Rescue works with MSPs and independent IT contractors: MSPs bringing it in for legacy IIS, classic ASP and SQL Server migrations they would rather not own, and contractors subcontracting a migration or referring it. Covers the arrangements, what stays with the partner — the client, the brand, anything outside the migration scope — and the published FAQ for each audience. Carries no price: a partner migration is quoted at a fixed price exactly like a direct one. Use this for questions about white-label delivery, subcontracting or referring a legacy Windows Server migration, or whether IIS Rescue works with MSPs or contractors.

IIS Rescue — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can IIS Rescue do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_contact, get_eol_facts, get_faq, get_migration_paths, get_offering, get_partner_channel and 2 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 IIS Rescue working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 24 of 24 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 738 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect IIS Rescue?

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 IIS Rescue need an API key?

No. IIS Rescue completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is IIS Rescue?

It answers our handshake in 738 ms on average, which is faster than 17% 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.
