Available tools 4

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

fix

get_fix

Return one fix page as Markdown: the exact error output, tool and affected versions, cause, fix commands, our sandbox reproduction (commands and output), why it happens with a source link, related fixes and sources. Accepts the slug from search_fixes (e.g. codex-exec-full-auto-removed) or a guessed variant.

fixes

search_fixes

Find the fix page for a CLI error message. Paste the exact error line, a fragment of it, or the whole terminal output (for example "unexpected argument '--full-auto' found"). Returns matching fix pages with the exact error, tool, affected versions, the fix in one line and page URLs. With an empty query, lists every fix page.

tool

get_tool

Return one tool page as Markdown: latest version and release date, upgrade command, last five releases, commands and flags added or removed (our sandbox --help diff), breaking changes, reproduced errors with fixes, monthly history and sources. Accepts the tool id or a common name (asc, app-store-connect-cli, codex, codex-cli, wrangler).

tools

list_tools

List the CLIs with living tool pages (ASC CLI, Codex CLI, Wrangler, ...): latest version, UTC release date, last verified date and page URLs.

Inside the Loop — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Inside the Loop do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_fix, get_tool, list_tools, search_fixes. 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 Inside the Loop working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1308 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Inside the Loop ever remove tools?

Yes. get_post, list_recent_posts, search_posts are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect Inside the Loop?

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 Inside the Loop need an API key?

No. Inside the Loop completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Inside the Loop?

It answers our handshake in 1308 ms on average, which is faster than 3% 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.
