The Moorish Times — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The Moorish Times do?
It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_editions, fetch, get_sources, list_tags, related, report_missing and 6 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 The Moorish Times working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 81 of 81 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 221 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect The Moorish Times?
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 The Moorish Times need an API key?
No. The Moorish Times completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is The Moorish Times?
It answers our handshake in 221 ms on average, which is faster than 65% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
