Returns: Text: the converted document. structuredContent { output, warnings[] } where warnings list dropped nulls, large integers and non-finite numbers. Example input: {"text":"[package]\nname = \"demo\"\nversion = \"0.1.0\"\n\n[dependencies]\nserde = \"1.0\"","from":"toml","to":"json","indent":2} On error, includes hint: TOML output needs an object at the top level; wrap arrays in a key.

Returns: JSON with { query, count, results[] } where each result has { id, name, description, url, category }. Example input: {"query":"json format","limit":5}
tsv
tsv_parse
Parse tab-separated values into JSON. First row is treated as header unless header=false. Returns: JSON array of row objects derived from the TSV header row. Example input: {"text":"name\tage\nAda\t36\nGrace\t85"} On error, includes hint: `text` must use real tab (\t) separators, not multiple spaces.
user
user_agent_parse
Parse a User-Agent header into browser, engine, OS, device type, vendor, model and CPU (ua-parser-js), and detect search, AI, social, SEO and monitoring bots and HTTP libraries. Notes explain User-Agent reduction limits such as Windows 11 reporting as Windows NT 10.0. Returns: JSON { summary, browser{name,version,major}, engine{name,version}, os{name,version}, device{type,vendor,model}, cpu{architecture}, isBot, bot{name,category,owner}|null, notes[] }. Example input: {"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 17_5 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.5 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1"}
utm
utm_build
Add Google Analytics UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_id, utm_term, utm_content) to a landing page URL. Keeps existing query parameters and the #fragment, lowercases values by default, and predicts the GA4 default channel group. Returns: JSON { url, params, predictedChannel, warnings[] }: the tagged URL, the UTM values used, the likely GA4 default channel group (approximation) and any naming warnings. Example input: {"url":"https://example.com/pricing?plan=pro","source":"newsletter","medium":"email","campaign":"October Launch","content":"hero_button"}
uuid
uuid_generate
Generate one or more v4 UUIDs. Returns: JSON array of v4 UUID strings. Example input: {"count":3} On error, includes hint: `count` must be an integer between 1 and 100.
word
word_count
Count words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs and lines in text, estimate reading and speaking time, list the most frequent words and check the text against common platform limits (X post weighted length, Bluesky, LinkedIn, SMS segments, meta description). Same rules as redbison.dev/word-counter. Returns: JSON { words, characters, charactersNoSpaces, sentences, paragraphs, lines, uniqueWords, utf8Bytes, averageWordLength, averageSentenceLength, readingTime, readingSeconds, speakingTime, speakingSeconds, topWords[{word,count,percent}], platformLimits[{platform,limit,used,remaining,over,detail}] }. Example input: {"text":"Short sentences help. Long ones, full of clauses that wander, do not.","readingWpm":238,"speakingWpm":150,"topWords":5}
xml
xml_beautify
Pretty-print an XML document. Returns: Pretty-printed XML string with normalized indentation. Example input: {"xml":"<root><a>1</a><b>2</b></root>","indent":2}

RedBison — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can RedBison do?
It exposes 82 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: ascii_art_text, barcode_check_digit, base64_decode, base64_encode, bcrypt_hash, bcrypt_verify and 76 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 →
What is RedBison mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around json, random and url. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is RedBison working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 1 of 91 checks got a reply (1.1%), average response time 3845 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists RedBison 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 RedBison?
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 RedBison need an API key?
No. RedBison completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 82 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
