Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Page executes code built at runtime widget/wheel.html:171

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 8

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

certified

certified_draw

Run a TrueSpin certified draw on NameWheel: the winner is sealed by NameWheel's server before it is revealed, randomness from this connection is added, and the result is published on a permanent public proof page (namewheel.org/v/CODE) that anyone can check, with a button that recomputes the draw. Use it when the result must be provable to other people: a class prize, a team decision, a draw announced to a group. IMPORTANT: the title, every entry and the winner become public on the proof page, so only use names the person is happy to publish, and tell them so. Needs a connected NameWheel account (free). To draw against a list locked earlier with freeze_list, pass frozen_code instead of entries.

draws

my_draws

List this account's recent NameWheel certified draws (or frozen lists) with their winners and proof links, newest first. Needs a connected NameWheel account.

freeze

freeze_list

Lock a list of entries in public before a draw, at namewheel.org/f/CODE, with a fingerprint and the exact time. Nobody can add or remove a name after that, and when certified_draw later uses this list (frozen_code), the frozen page links to the result. Use it when entries close before the draw happens. The title and every entry are public. Needs a connected NameWheel account (free).

make

make_teams

Split a list of names into random teams or groups of even size, and show them as cards in the chat. Use it for class groups, project teams, game sides, rotations. Give either how many teams or how many people per team. Works without an account.

open

open_wheel_link

Make a namewheel.org link that opens the full NameWheel wheel with these names already loaded, for spinning on a projector, a stream or a shared screen with sound, modes and themes. Works without an account. Commas inside a name become spaces in the link.

plan

check_plan

Say what this NameWheel connection can do: without an account (spins, teams, wheel links, checking draws) or with a connected account (certified draws, frozen lists, the account's draws), and how many certified draws are left today. Use it when the person asks about limits, their account, or why a request was refused.

spin

spin_wheel

Pick one or more winners at random from a list of names or options, and show the wheel spinning to the result in the chat. Use it whenever the person wants something chosen at random: a student to answer, who goes first, where to eat, a raffle winner among friends. Works without an account. The pick is fair (a cryptographic random number generator), but it is not a certified record; when other people need to be able to check the result later, use certified_draw instead.

verify

verify_draw

Check whether a NameWheel certified draw is genuine, from its code or its namewheel.org/v/ link: recomputes the winner from the published secret, the added randomness and the entries, checks the commitment made before the spin, and checks NameWheel's Ed25519 signature on the record. Also says how many draws the host ran on this exact list. Use it when someone asks whether a draw or a giveaway result was real. Works without an account.

NameWheel — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can NameWheel do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: certified_draw, check_plan, freeze_list, make_teams, my_draws, open_wheel_link and 2 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 NameWheel working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 91 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 404 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect NameWheel?

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 NameWheel need an API key?

No. NameWheel completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is NameWheel?

It answers our handshake in 404 ms on average, which is faster than 35% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is NameWheel open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.namewheel.org, which runs on its operator's own terms.
