Nothing serious here today

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

Available tools 20

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

site

create_site

Create one structured draft. Does not publish. Fails if the owner already has a site.

get_site

Read the owner’s site and current revision. State is draft or live.

site_analytics

Visits, page views, enquiry submissions, button clicks, top pages and traffic sources for the published site over the last 30 days.

update_site

Change only some fields of the draft, using the current revision. `changes` is a JSON Merge Patch over the SiteDocument: objects merge, null removes a field, and arrays (services, gallery, pages, sections) are replaced whole. Does not change the live publication.

upload

upload_image

Upload a JPEG, PNG or WebP image (5 MiB maximum). Returns an assetId for the document.

upload_image_from_url

Cockatoo — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Cockatoo do?

It exposes 20 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: catalog, create_site, exchange_onboarding, get_site, leads_summary, list_contacts and 14 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 →

What is Cockatoo mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around site and upload. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Cockatoo 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 1206 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Cockatoo?

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 Cockatoo need an API key?

No. Cockatoo completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 20 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Cockatoo?

It answers our handshake in 1206 ms on average, which is faster than 3% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
