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

article

get_article

Get the direct answer, the causes the article covers, and its FAQ for one article, by slug (from search_articles). Returns a summary, not the full text — the article URL has the complete step-by-step fix and the sources.

articles

search_articles

Find WhyIsMy.org articles answering a "why is my…" question. Returns titles, summaries and URLs. Both arguments are optional: omit query to browse, pass topic to bias results toward one subject area. The returned summaries are partial — send the user to the article URL for the full diagnosis, fixes and cited sources.

calculators

list_calculators

Find WhyIsMy.org's free interactive calculators, checkers and estimators (dosage, health, eldercare cost, pet, home and car tools). Both arguments are optional: omit everything to browse, pass query and/or category to narrow. Each result is a one-line teaser plus a link — the calculators are interactive and compute a personalized result client-side in the user's browser, so send the user to the URL for their result instead of estimating it yourself.

topics

list_topics

List the subject areas covered on WhyIsMy.org with an article count for each. Takes no arguments. Use the returned slugs as the `topic` argument to search_articles.

Whyismy Org — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Whyismy Org do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_article, list_calculators, list_topics, search_articles. 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 Whyismy Org 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 230 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Whyismy Org still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect Whyismy Org?

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 Whyismy Org need an API key?

No. Whyismy Org 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 Whyismy Org?

It answers our handshake in 230 ms on average, which is faster than 61% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
