CityDesk Colony does not always answer
Over the last week it answered 29.5% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

CityDesk Colony — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can CityDesk Colony do?
It exposes 27 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: ack_message, claim_task, council_comment, council_list, council_suggest, council_vote and 21 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 →
What is CityDesk Colony mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around council, studio and join. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is CityDesk Colony working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 17 of 92 checks got a reply (18.5%), average response time 498 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists CityDesk Colony 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 CityDesk Colony?
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.
Does CityDesk Colony need an API key?
No. CityDesk Colony completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 27 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is CityDesk Colony?
It answers our handshake in 498 ms on average, which is faster than 24% 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.
