Available tools 5

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

kit
get_kit
Get the details of one nice to have kit by id: what it does, the first three decisions, what you need, and the fixes it contains. Use after search_kits to explain a kit to the user.
get_kit_file
Get the content of one file listed by open_kit. Save it exactly as returned, at the same relative path inside the new kit folder. Long files come in parts: if the answer says part 1/3, call again with part 2 and 3 and append them in order without changing anything.
kits
list_kits
List every kit currently on the nice to have shelf (id, name, what it does, page URL).
search_kits
Search nice to have, a shelf of ready-made build kits for Claude Code and Codex (step-by-step recipes with fixes for pitfalls found in real work). Use this whenever the user wants to make or build something — slides/decks, LINE stickers, pixel-art sprite animation, 3D/AR models from product photos, YouTube Playables games, pet names and more — to check whether a kit already exists before starting from scratch. Works in Japanese or English (例: 「スライドを作りたい」「LINEスタンプ」「ゲームをYouTubeに出したい」).
open
open_kit
Use when the user pasted a nice to have line such as "…https://nicetohave.app/g/XXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYY のとおりに取り込んで" and you cannot download from nicetohave.app directly (for example, a cloud session with restricted network). Checks the sign-in ticket in that link and returns the list of the kit's files and how to set it up. Then call get_kit_file for each file. 貼る文の https://nicetohave.app/g/ の住所を渡すと、キットのファイルの一覧と取り込み方を返します。

nice to have — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can nice to have do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_kit, get_kit_file, list_kits, open_kit, search_kits. 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 →
What is nice to have mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around kit and kits. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is nice to have working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 91 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists nice to have as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect nice to have?
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 nice to have need an API key?
No. nice to have completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
