Nothing serious here today

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

Give a place name in Japanese or English (e.g. 帯広, Obihiro, 京都市の基準局, 札幌の警報). Returns in one call: the municipality (5-digit code), JMA warnings in force, the nearest free RTK base station (km, mountpoint, host) and the page URLs. No key. Use this first when a user asks about a Japanese place; call here/rtk_bases_near for detail.

Kuongeo — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Kuongeo do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: answer, gnss_in_japan, here, kurashigram_prices, next_departures, place and 1 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 →

Is Kuongeo 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 190 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Kuongeo?

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 Kuongeo need an API key?

No. Kuongeo completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Kuongeo?

It answers our handshake in 190 ms on average, which is faster than 70% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Kuongeo open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at kuongeo.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
