AI Model Lifecycle Index — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AI Model Lifecycle Index do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_model_lifecycle_all, is_model_live, model_lifecycle, upcoming_deprecations. 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 AI Model Lifecycle Index working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 86 of 90 checks got a reply (95.6%), average response time 125 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect AI Model Lifecycle Index?

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 AI Model Lifecycle Index need an API key?

No. AI Model Lifecycle Index completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is AI Model Lifecycle Index?

It answers our handshake in 125 ms on average, which is faster than 82% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is AI Model Lifecycle Index open source?

We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
