Platfone — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Platfone?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is Platfone 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 243 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Platfone?
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. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.
Does Platfone need an API key?
Yes. Every time we knock, Platfone answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.
How fast is Platfone?
It answers our handshake in 243 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 Platfone?
The npm package @platfone/mcp was installed 267 times in the last week. Week over week that is +19%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Platfone open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 4 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.platfone.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
