SQL Server MCP by InsightfulPipe — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for SQL Server MCP by InsightfulPipe?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is SQL Server MCP by InsightfulPipe 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 106 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect SQL Server MCP by InsightfulPipe?
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 SQL Server MCP by InsightfulPipe?
No API key is involved. SQL Server MCP by InsightfulPipe 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 SQL Server MCP by InsightfulPipe?
It answers our handshake in 106 ms on average, which is faster than 96% 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.
Is SQL Server MCP by InsightfulPipe open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mssql.insightfulmcp.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
