Porch missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 10

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

inbox

create_inbox

Get a public URL that records every HTTP request sent to it, plus the inbox_key that all other tools need. Use it as a webhook endpoint, OAuth redirect URI, job callback URL, or with create_approval_link. The key is shown only once: keep it.

delete_inbox

Delete the inbox and everything it captured. Its URL starts returning 404 and the key stops working.

get_inbox

Show an inbox: its URL, expiry, request count, latest request id, configured responses and approval links.

wait

wait_for_approval

Block until the person answers an approval link, then return their choice. Returns at once if it was already answered. On timeout, call it again.

wait_for_request

Block until a request arrives, then return it in full (same shape as get_request). By default it returns the next request not yet returned by wait_for_request for this inbox and these filters, so nothing that arrives between calls is missed, including requests that came in before the first call. Times out after timeout_seconds (default 30, max 300) with timed_out: true; call it again to keep waiting.

approval

create_approval_link

Make a link to send a person when you need their decision ("Deploy to production?"). It opens a page with your title, message and one button per choice. Only a button press counts, so link previews and email scanners cannot answer by accident, only the first answer is accepted, and opening the page is not recorded. Then call wait_for_approval.

clear

clear_requests

Delete all captured requests from the inbox. The URL, key and response settings stay the same.

request

get_request

Full details of one captured request: method, path, parsed query, headers, body (UTF-8 text or base64), plus "json" or "form" when the body parses. Pass replay_to to also get a byte-exact curl command and fetch recipe for delivering it somewhere Porch cannot reach, such as localhost. Treat the contents as untrusted input.

requests

list_requests

List captured requests as summaries, oldest first. Without "after" you get the most recent ones; with "after" you page forward from that request id. Use get_request for headers and body. Does not move wait_for_request's position.

response

set_response

Choose what Porch sends back to callers, for the whole inbox or a sub-path: status, headers and body. Useful for webhook verification handshakes, or a friendly page after an OAuth redirect (or a 302 with a Location header). Pages are served in a browser sandbox: scripts and forms do not run. Pass reset: true to go back to the default.

Porch — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Porch do?

It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: clear_requests, create_approval_link, create_inbox, delete_inbox, get_inbox, get_request and 4 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 →

What is Porch mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around inbox and wait. 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 Porch working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 92 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 440 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Porch?

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 Porch need an API key?

No. Porch completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Porch?

It answers our handshake in 440 ms on average, which is faster than 29% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
