Live Web Data API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Live Web Data API do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_account_status, get_page_contents. 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 Live Web Data API working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 67 of 67 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 240 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Live Web Data API?

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 Live Web Data API need an API key?

No. Live Web Data API completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Live Web Data API?

It answers our handshake in 240 ms on average, which is faster than 60% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
