Nothing serious here today

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

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.

inference.sh — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can inference.sh do?

It exposes 25 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: app_get, app_list, app_run, knowledge_create, knowledge_delete, knowledge_get and 19 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 inference.sh mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around mcp, skill and knowledge. 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 inference.sh 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 150 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect inference.sh?

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 inference.sh?

No API key is involved. inference.sh 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 inference.sh?

It answers our handshake in 150 ms on average, which is faster than 83% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
