What the code does

We read the source, 2 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

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.

Builds a database query by concatenation src/counter/pagesHome.ts:1256
    <select id="check_every_minutes" name="check_every_minutes">${cadence}</select>
Executes code built at runtime src/counter/photoScrub.ts:377
    cached = new Function(`${PHOTO_SCRUB_JS}\nreturn __osbPhotoScrub;`)() as PhotoScrubber;

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.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, and it signs you in through your browser: there is no API key to paste.

OpenSwitchboard — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for OpenSwitchboard?
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 OpenSwitchboard working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 424 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect OpenSwitchboard?
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 sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to OpenSwitchboard?
No API key is involved. OpenSwitchboard answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is OpenSwitchboard?
It answers our handshake in 424 ms on average, which is faster than 30% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is OpenSwitchboard open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 3 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.openswitchboard.ai, which runs on its operator's own terms.
