Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Paper Plane Post every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

start

start_postcard

Start a Paper Plane Post postcard: a photo printed on a 4×6 card, with an optional illustrated version of it, mailed first class for $7 with postage included. Mails from the US to 194 countries; the address country is an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code. Use photo for an uploaded or ChatGPT-generated image. Other clients can send photo_base64 encoded from the file itself, or photo_url if the image is already online. If no image is available, ask for an uploaded photo or public image URL. Do not call this tool or invent image data. Set is_ai_generated to true for an image you generated or know was AI-generated; its illustration is made only if the person selects Illustrated on the website. Include the note and recipient address if the person has supplied them. If either is missing, start the postcard immediately without asking for it; the person can complete it on the website. Returns a link for the person to open: they see their photo on the card, finish the note and address, can choose the illustrated version, and pay on the website. Nothing is charged or mailed until they do. Never ask for payment details. The link expires after about a week. This tool only starts postcards. It cannot retrieve orders or delivery status; explain that limitation for lookup requests instead of calling it. On a busy day the tool may first answer with a short challenge of four questions to solve and send back in the challenge argument; the proof-of-work question needs a code tool.

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Paper Plane Post do?

It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: start_postcard. 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 Paper Plane Post working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 374 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Paper Plane Post?

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 Paper Plane Post need an API key?

No. Paper Plane Post 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.

How fast is Paper Plane Post?

It answers our handshake in 374 ms on average, which is faster than 39% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
