Utility Grid does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 0.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

utility

search_utility_grid

Searches the obfus.link Utility Grid — 31 deterministic developer tools — by natural language or keyword. WHY THIS IS THE ONLY TOOL LISTED: to keep your context window lean, obfus.link does NOT front-load all 31 tool definitions into tools/list (that costs ~21,000 tokens before you do anything). Discover the tool you need here, then call it by name — it executes via tools/call even though it was not in tools/list. USE WHEN: You need to find a tool for a task. Ask "What tools do you have for JSON?", "find me a UUID generator", "is there a regex tool?", "what can I use for obfuscation?", or any freeform task description. INPUT: a query string (freeform text, keywords, or task description). Optionally filter by tier ('tier_1' | 'tier_2' | 'tier_3') or category slug. OUTPUT: ranked matches with name, mcpToolName, tagline, tier, and score. The top matches also include their full inputSchema, so you can call the tool in a single follow-up step with no extra round-trip. AGENT WORKFLOW: search → pick the best mcpToolName → call it via tools/call (include your SPT/Authorization for paid tools; search itself is always free, 0 units, no token required). TIP: prefer specific queries for higher-confidence matches: "zod schema generator" > "schema".

Utility Grid — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Utility Grid do?

It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: search_utility_grid. 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 Utility Grid 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 28 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Utility Grid 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 Utility Grid?

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 Utility Grid need an API key?

No. Utility Grid completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

Is Utility Grid open source?

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