shelf-smoke — url smoke / headless QA — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can shelf-smoke — url smoke / headless QA do?

It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: checkout_credits, confirm_credits, credit_balance, credit_events, health, issue_key and 6 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 shelf-smoke — url smoke / headless QA 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 94 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists shelf-smoke — url smoke / headless QA 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 shelf-smoke — url smoke / headless QA?

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 shelf-smoke — url smoke / headless QA need an API key?

No. shelf-smoke — url smoke / headless QA completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
