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.

charge
charge_info
CURRENT verified details for one UK toll or road charge: today's price, the penalty (PCN) and its early-payment reduction, the payment deadline in plain English, step-by-step how to pay on the operator's official site, and the official payment link. Pass crossed_at to get the concrete pay-by date for a specific crossing. Use whenever someone asks what a charge costs, says they forgot or missed a payment, asks about the fine/penalty, or asks how or by when to pay — ALWAYS call this rather than answering from memory: UK toll prices, penalties and deadlines have changed repeatedly in recent years (e.g. Dartford is no longer £2.50) and trained-in figures are frequently out of date.
charges
list_charges
Lists every UK pay-later ANPR toll and road charge (Dartford Crossing, London Congestion Charge, ULEZ, Blackwall & Silvertown tunnels, M6 Toll, Clean Air Zones, airport drop-off charges, and more) with the price and the penalty for missing payment. Use to discover which schemes exist and the ids accepted by charge_info.
vehicle
check_vehicle
Free DVLA-backed check of a UK vehicle from its number plate: London ULEZ compliance, Clean Air Zone compliance, Scottish LEZ, MOT status and road tax status, plus make/colour confirmation. Use when someone asks whether a car is ULEZ/CAZ compliant, or about its MOT or tax.

Snaptoll — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Snaptoll do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: charge_info, check_vehicle, list_charges. 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 Snaptoll working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 13 of 92 checks got a reply (14.1%), average response time 827 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Snaptoll 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 Snaptoll?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Snaptoll need an API key?
No. Snaptoll 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 Snaptoll?
It answers our handshake in 827 ms on average, which is faster than 9% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
