The Living Bread — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The Living Bread do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: discover_living_bread, fetch, find_churches, find_communities, find_gatherings, find_people_to_pray_with and 8 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 The Living Bread working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 182 of 182 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 343 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did The Living Bread ever remove tools?
Yes. come_and_see, threshold, a_person_now, a_prayer_for and 48 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect The Living Bread?
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 The Living Bread need an API key?
No. The Living Bread completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is The Living Bread?
It answers our handshake in 343 ms on average, which is faster than 40% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is The Living Bread open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.living-bread.org, which runs on its operator's own terms.
