Over the last week it answered 99.3% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

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

patterns

list_patterns

Paginated inventory of pattern ids and summaries from the vendored corpus.

search_patterns

Lexical search over the vendored Pattern-Assist corpus. Returns ranked patterns with source_ref citations and optional when_not guidance. Use this before asserting an approach.

membership

get_membership_offer

Read-only offer registry with {chapter} substituted for Software Engineering, plus this host's /join URL. No payment — interest capture only until counsel clears membership.

pattern

get_pattern

Lookup a single Pattern-Assist row by stable id. Returns 404-shaped payload when unknown — never fabricates a nearest match.

public

list_public_pages

Site map for agents: canonical human pages plus read-only REST/MCP endpoints on this host.

Journeyman — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Journeyman do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_membership_offer, get_pattern, list_patterns, list_public_pages, search_patterns. 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 Journeyman working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 93 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 323 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Journeyman still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect Journeyman?

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 Journeyman need an API key?

No. Journeyman completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Journeyman?

It answers our handshake in 323 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
