Guide Registry does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 0.5% 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

Traverse the capability spine joining books, guides (capability packages), KSAO-grade elements and jobs. Use min_guides=2 for the cross-cutting capabilities that span many guides, role=<role> for what a job requires, capability_detail=<slug> for one package with its elements and books hydrated. ksao_type/canon_component_id are null by design where unresolved — treat null as 'not yet joined', never as 'no link'.

guide

get_guide

Get one guide's registry row by slug, with its artifact + routing-surface status.

guides

list_guides

List the bicycle.guide registry — every guide's home, status, access, standard, syndication and grounding, plus the distribution roll-up (including guides homed to a property with no rendering surface).

membership

get_membership_offer

Return the Bicycle Cooperative membership offer for this front: registry with the persona chapter substituted, option gates (interest vs rent) resolved, and the front's join URL.

taxonomy

list_taxonomy

Get the bicycle.guide vocabulary — domains, shelves (with live guide counts), series, personas, guide_types, and the classification conventions (pillar/spoke, discriminant home, bicycle-guide-serves-all) as machine-readable data rather than prose.

Guide Registry — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Guide Registry do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_guide, get_membership_offer, list_capabilities, list_guides, list_taxonomy. 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 Guide Registry working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 2 of 91 checks got a reply (2.2%), average response time 312 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Guide Registry 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.

The registry lists Guide Registry as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Guide Registry?

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 Guide Registry need an API key?

No. Guide Registry 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 Guide Registry?

It answers our handshake in 312 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
