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.

A line of code looks encrypted hour-session/gen_office_kit.py:167
  s.onload=function(){try{if(window.posthog&&posthog.init){posthog.init("phc_t9dkHXAZR5VEjPFm3K5JDzGKFsNNxKcwSxxcEBEeLbS7",{api_host:"https://us.i.posthog.com",autocapture:false,capture_pageview:true,disable_session_recording:true});}}catch(e){}};
eval(extract('var QUESTIONS = [', '/* ================= CONFIG: IDEAS'));
            out = os.path.join(OG_DIR, "%s--%s.jpg" % (slug, rs))
_intro_new_ns = {}
exec(_intro_new_src, _intro_new_ns)

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.

Available tools 3

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

build
get_build_guide
Returns the step-by-step build instructions for one costume idea: the decision summary (time and effort level), the materials list with buy-vs-own tags, numbered build steps, safety notes, and common parent questions with answers. Accepts a costume idea id or a costume name.
owning
search_by_owning
Ranks the fixed costume catalog by how many of each idea's materials are covered by the supplied household items, so ideas needing the least extra shopping rank highest. Each result includes what the idea still needs, with each still-needed item tagged buy, own, either, or make. Common household basics are assumed present in every home; the exact assumed list is returned with each call. An optional audience narrows results to who the costume is for.
pick
pick_costume
Ranks Halloween costume ideas from a fixed catalog of 169 against the supplied audience, interests, vibe, effort level, and owned materials, and returns the top 3 matches. Each pick includes a why-line explaining the match, a thumbnail image, a link to its full build page, and the estimated time and effort. Owned items boost ranking: ideas whose materials are covered by the supplied owned items rank higher. Interest is the strongest ranking signal: ideas matching the stated interest outrank others.

Pick My Costume — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Pick My Costume do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_build_guide, pick_costume, search_by_owning. 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 Pick My Costume 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 124 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Pick My Costume?
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 Pick My Costume need an API key?
No. Pick My Costume completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Pick My Costume?
It answers our handshake in 124 ms on average, which is faster than 88% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Pick My Costume open source?
We cannot say either way: written in HTML and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
