JAIL Search — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is JAIL Search working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 19582 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect JAIL Search?
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 JAIL Search need an API key?
No. JAIL Search completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How many people use JAIL Search?
The npm package jail-mcp was installed 135 times in the last week. Week over week that is +0%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is JAIL Search open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
