Available tools 5

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

Search the vendored Pattern-Assist corpus (hybrid lexical + embeddings when available; lexical fallback). Returns ranked patterns with source_ref citations and optional when_not guidance. Use this before asserting an approach.

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.

recommend

recommend_patterns

C-03: ranked Pattern-Assist recommendations for a task. Each hit carries a corpus why, a when-not / FTO trade-off, and cited same-area cross-links. Use this when the learner wants alternatives, not just a lexical hit list.

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_pattern, list_patterns, list_public_pages, recommend_patterns, 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 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 116 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Journeyman ever remove tools?

Yes. get_membership_offer is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

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.

The registry lists Journeyman 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 Journeyman?

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 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.
