Host Gifts – hand-picked gift ideas — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Host Gifts – hand-picked gift ideas do?

It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add_wishlist_item, create_and_fill, create_wishlist, get_catalog, get_health, get_wishlist and 3 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 Host Gifts – hand-picked gift ideas working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 3 of 92 checks got a reply (3.3%), average response time 1853 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Host Gifts – hand-picked gift ideas 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 Host Gifts – hand-picked gift ideas?

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 Host Gifts – hand-picked gift ideas need an API key?

No. Host Gifts – hand-picked gift ideas completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
