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.

Runs an external command smoke/smoke.mjs:27 
        this.child = spawn(process.execPath, ['dist/stdio.js'], {

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, but you need an API key or OAuth to use it.

ParseAPI — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can ParseAPI do?
It exposes 31 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: city, city_id, city_nearest, city_search, continent, continent_countries and 25 more. 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 →
What is ParseAPI mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around city, postal and currency. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is ParseAPI 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 267 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect ParseAPI?
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. 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 ParseAPI?
No API key is involved. ParseAPI 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 ParseAPI?
It answers our handshake in 267 ms on average, which is faster than 58% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use ParseAPI?
The npm package parseapi-mcp was installed 533 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is ParseAPI open source?
We cannot say that it is: written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but no licence is declared, and without one the code is not open source by default.
