Maxwell Directory (x402 + MCP) missed 2 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Maxwell Directory (x402 + MCP) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Maxwell Directory (x402 + MCP) do?
It exposes 36 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: call_product, company_lookup, court_opinions, domain_registration, drug_and_food_safety, food_coverage and 30 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 Maxwell Directory (x402 + MCP) working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 237 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Maxwell Directory (x402 + MCP) ever remove tools?
Yes. local_categories, local_providers, ski_instructors 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 Maxwell Directory (x402 + MCP)?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Maxwell Directory (x402 + MCP) need an API key?
No. Maxwell Directory (x402 + MCP) completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 36 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Maxwell Directory (x402 + MCP)?
It answers our handshake in 237 ms on average, which is faster than 54% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Maxwell Directory (x402 + MCP)?
The npm package @maxwellintl/x402-mcp was installed 93 times in the last week. Week over week that is -73%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
