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.

item

check_item

Rule one food subject against the household premise (restrictions, thresholds, or both). Needs a key (Authorization: Bearer kg_live_…); create a free one with the register tool. Returns one of four verdicts (no_conflict_found, conflict_found, ask_one_question, couldnt_verify) with typed hits, source kind and read date. Unknown counts as no; the word safe is never used.

plan

check_plan

Rule a set of items at once: a recipe's ingredients, a basket, several days. Needs a key (Authorization: Bearer kg_live_…); create a free one with the register tool. Up to 25 subjects, one call, one verdict per item plus a summary line. Each item carries its own evidence, source and read date.

register

Sign yourself up for a developer key without leaving MCP. The email is contact and recovery, not a wall. One key per email, free tier (100 checks a month); the key is in this response and never shown again. Nothing on knowngate.com itself needs a key.

venue

check_venue

Rule a whole venue's published chart against the household restrictions in one call. Needs a key (Authorization: Bearer kg_live_…); create a free one with the register tool. Returns per-verdict counts, the most severe items, the operator's cross-contact caveat verbatim, and the chart's source and read date. A venue with no machine-readable chart says so honestly.

KnownGate — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can KnownGate do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_item, check_plan, check_venue, register. 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 KnownGate working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 106 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is KnownGate still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

The registry lists KnownGate 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 KnownGate?

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 KnownGate need an API key?

No. KnownGate 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.
