This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, but it did not say what kind of credentials it expects.

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.

catalog

search_catalog

Find software by name, task or recorded filters. Returns at most ten candidates from the same service as native HTML/HTTP search, with recordUrl and met/unmet/unknown requirement assessments. Unknown is not false. No complete profile, publisher fetch, bulk export or functionality guarantee.

identifier

list_identifier_platforms

List every platform PulseGate records identifiers on, with how many identifiers it holds for each. Use it to learn the vocabulary the platform argument of lookup_project accepts.

lookup

lookup_project

Return the external identifiers PulseGate holds for one project, and for each one how it arrived and whether anyone has checked that it belongs. Makes no claim about whether the software is alive, maintained, or working. Look up by slug, or by an identifier you already have.

PulseGate — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PulseGate do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: list_identifier_platforms, lookup_project, search_catalog. 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 PulseGate working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 91 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 177 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect PulseGate?

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 PulseGate need an API key?

Yes. Every time we knock, PulseGate 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 PulseGate?

It answers our handshake in 177 ms on average, which is faster than 75% 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.
