Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check PoemShip every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 9

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

poem
get_poem
One poem by its id (from find_poems or a poem page URL): title, poet, language, the number of lines and stanzas, the opening of the text (a poem of 1 to 3 lines whole), a short summary when the library has one, and the links to the full poem, its analysis (when there is one) and the trainer to learn it by heart.
poem_of_the_day
Today's poem of the day in a language (English by default): title, poet, opening lines (a poem of 1 to 3 lines whole) and link.
about
about_poet
A poet in the library by name or by slug (the last part of the poet page URL): the biography (up to about 1,500 characters) and a one-line summary of it, the number of poems, up to 10 poems with links, and the poet page.
analysis
get_analysis
The summary of a poem and the opening of its analysis (about 1,200 characters at most), with links to the summary and analysis pages, when the library has them. Written in the language of the poem.
collection
get_collection
One collection by its slug (from library_guide or list_collections): title, introduction, link and up to 8 of its poems with the poet, the number of lines, the opening lines (a poem of 1 to 3 lines whole), one sentence on what the poem feels like (use it to choose, it is not the poet's words) and the links.
collections
list_collections
For an occasion or a feeling (a wedding, a funeral, missing someone, autumn), the library's collections of poems in a language (all languages when none is given): title, slug, a short introduction and the link. Pick the closest and call get_collection with its slug. Collections exist in English, Russian and Belarusian.
learn
learn_by_heart
A plan to learn a poem by heart in a number of days (7 by default, 3 to 14): its stanzas and lines, which stanzas to learn on which day with a time estimate, the review days after, and the link to the free web trainer that does the drilling. No poem in mind: find_poems with easy_to_memorise suggests an easy first poem to learn.
library
library_guide
What the library offers in one language, to turn a request into filters: the 8 moods (names in that language), the most used tags of that language (most used first) and its collections (title and slug). Call it to narrow find_poems (need, occasion, audience) with one mood and 1–3 tags, or to pick a collection for get_collection. For an easy first poem to learn by heart, find_poems with easy_to_memorise.
poems
find_poems
Search the library. For a situation or a wish ("I just lost my dad", "a poem to thank my mother", "something calm for a ten-year-old", "an easy first poem to learn by heart"), set what the reader needs first: need, or occasion and recipient for a poem to send, audience, easy_to_memorise, easy_to_read. Narrow it with one mood or 1–3 tags from library_guide in the poem language, and max_lines for a short poem. Words in query are looked for in the title and text and in what the poem is about, so "grief father" finds poems of a father's death. For a poem or line the user remembers, put its words in query. Returns up to 10 poems, the best fit first, with the poet, the number of lines, the opening lines (a poem of 1 to 3 lines whole), one sentence on what the poem feels like (use it to choose, it is not the poet's words) and the link. need, occasion, recipient, easy_to_memorise, easy_to_read and audience cover English, Russian and Belarusian poems. Give at least one filter. When nothing fits, or the user wants a deeper search by mood or situation, give them the Smart Search link from the result: a page of the site where they describe it in their own words.

PoemShip — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PoemShip do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: about_poet, find_poems, get_analysis, get_collection, get_poem, learn_by_heart and 3 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 →
Is PoemShip 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 148 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect PoemShip?
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 PoemShip need an API key?
No. PoemShip completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is PoemShip?
It answers our handshake in 148 ms on average, which is faster than 86% 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.
