Available tools 2

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

plant

get_plant_care

Retrieve the PetalPal care guide for an exact plant_id returned by search_plants: light, watering, temperature, feeding or flower food, first steps, daily care, FAQs and pet notes. Includes the original page, available references and editorial status. General reference, not photo identification or a diagnosis; never substitute cut-flower care for a rooted plant.

plants

search_plants

Find plants by name, common alias or plant ID across ten languages. Returns canonical plant IDs, category and care-page links. Cut flowers and rooted potted plants are separate entries. Use a returned plant_id with get_plant_care; if several plants fit, ask the user which one they have.

PetalPal Plant Care — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PetalPal Plant Care do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_plant_care, search_plants. 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 PetalPal Plant Care working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 280 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists PetalPal Plant Care 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 PetalPal Plant Care?

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 PetalPal Plant Care need an API key?

No. PetalPal Plant Care completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
