Nothing serious here today

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

Branco — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Branco do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: decrire_etat_corpus, rechercher_circulaires_penales, verifier_citation. 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 Branco 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 2395 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Branco?
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 Branco need an API key?
No. Branco completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
