Nothing serious here today

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

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

presets
list_presets
List the six built-in business presets (excavation and septic, plumbing and drain, heating and cooling, landscaping and snow, roofing, and a general small services business) with every default input in the exact field names a simulation accepts, and the revenue, costs and profit each makes at its own averages. Static reference: no network access.
rank
rank_levers
Test nine single changes a small business owner can make and rank them by how much each lowers the chance of running short of money in the next 52 weeks, with the change in year-end money as a tiebreak. The levers: take a third up front, take 15 days off payment terms, raise prices 5 percent, take a fifth less owner draw for six months, cut overhead 10 percent, raise the credit line by half, run one crew lighter, add a crew, and buy three more enquiries a week. Each lever and the baseline run 3,000 simulated years with the same seed, so the difference is the lever and not the luck. Takes the same business description as a cash year simulation: a preset plus any overridden inputs. Pure arithmetic: no network access, nothing stored.
simulate
simulate_cash_year
Simulate the next 52 weeks of a small services business 10,000 times (Monte Carlo) and report the chance it runs short of money, the week that is most likely to happen, reachable money (bank balance plus unused credit) week by week at the 10th, 50th and 90th percentile, the drivers that separated the futures that ran short from the ones that survived, and the profit the business makes at its own averages. Start from a trade preset (excavation, plumbing, hvac, landscaping, roofing, or general) and override any input: cash, credit line, money owed to the business, work already sold, crews and their weekly cost, overhead, owner draw, monthly bills, enquiries, close rate, seasonality, job types with value, materials, deposit and payment terms, bad debt, tax, and random setbacks. Money is in dollars and rates are fractions (0.3 is 30 percent). The same inputs and seed always return the same answer. Pure arithmetic: no network access, nothing stored.

Dry Run — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Dry Run do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: list_presets, rank_levers, simulate_cash_year. 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 Dry Run working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 12 of 12 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 335 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Dry Run?
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 Dry Run need an API key?
No. Dry Run completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Dry Run?
It answers our handshake in 335 ms on average, which is faster than 41% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
