Discovery does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 99.4% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

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.

capabilities
list_capabilities
List the middleware capabilities Devadex indexes (dialogue, auth, inventory, networking, memory, …) with how many middleware exist for each, plus the platforms available. Use this to pick a `capability`/`platform` for search_middleware.
index
index_stats
How much of the independent-software index is available: total listings, how many are fresh or small, and the top sources, languages and tags.
indie
search_indie
Search independent, small, and newly launched software that mainstream search engines bury. Each result has a `buyUrl` (the link to send the user to — it may be an affiliate link) and a clean `url`. Use small=true to see only low-authority (buried) results, fresh=true for recent launches.
listing
get_listing
Get full detail for one listing by id, including its outbound url, creator, tags, and popularity/recency signals.
middleware
search_middleware
Search reusable software middleware by CAPABILITY (what it does) across every platform — e.g. 'dialogue', 'authentication', 'inventory', 'networking', 'memory'. Returns middleware libraries, SDKs, and systems with an outbound link to where each is shipped. Use `capability` for the exact capability slug (see list_capabilities), `platform` to narrow to an engine/language, and `query` for free text.

Discovery — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Discovery do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_listing, index_stats, list_capabilities, search_indie, search_middleware. 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 Discovery 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 986 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Discovery?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Discovery need an API key?
No. Discovery 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.
How fast is Discovery?
It answers our handshake in 986 ms on average, which is faster than 9% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
