It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_page, list_diagrams, list_toolbox, search_site.

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 903 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Mike Reams: architecture writing, diagrams and toolbox?

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.

No. Mike Reams: architecture writing, diagrams and toolbox completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Mike Reams: architecture writing, diagrams and toolbox?

It answers our handshake in 903 ms on average, which is faster than 9% 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.
