AI Crawler Access Checker — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for AI Crawler Access Checker?

The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.

Is AI Crawler Access Checker 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 364 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect AI Crawler Access Checker?

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. You will need your own key: it refuses anonymous clients.

Does AI Crawler Access Checker need an API key?

Yes. Every time we knock, AI Crawler Access Checker answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.

How fast is AI Crawler Access Checker?

It answers our handshake in 364 ms on average, which is faster than 37% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
