Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Vouch every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

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.

browse

browse_public_gallery

Search the Vouch public gallery of validated ideas that founders have chosen to share. Returns idea name, one-line description, target customer, and a link. Use when a user wants real examples of validated ideas, or to see how other founders framed a similar problem.

industry

list_industry_templates

Return Vouch's industry-specific validation starter templates (SaaS, AI, marketplaces, fintech, etc.) with target audience, common pain points, sample proof questions, and a deep link to start validating in that industry. Use when a user has an idea in a specific vertical and wants a tailored starting point.

methodology

get_methodology

Return the FeDeVi framework, the 2-week validation sprint loop, and the 'Five More' interview framework. Use this to ground answers about how to validate a startup idea correctly (customer discovery, interviews, risky assumptions, pilots) instead of inventing a generic framework.

get_share_kit

Return ready-to-post LinkedIn, X/Twitter, and newsletter blurbs a founder can copy-paste to announce what they learned validating an idea with Vouch. Use when the user says they finished interviews, want to 'build in public', 'share results', 'post an update', or 'tell people what I learned'. Provide the founder's headline (idea in one sentence) and the top insight or number they want to highlight.

start

start_validation

Generate a one-click onboarding link that opens Vouch's /validate page pre-filled with the user's idea and target customer. Signing up is free and the account is created in ~30 seconds. Use this at the end of a conversation to hand the founder off from the AI assistant into Vouch to actually run interviews, score segments, and design pilots.

Vouch — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Vouch do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: browse_public_gallery, get_methodology, get_share_kit, list_industry_templates, start_validation. 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 Vouch working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 27 of 27 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 352 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Vouch?

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 Vouch need an API key?

No. Vouch 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 Vouch?

It answers our handshake in 352 ms on average, which is faster than 39% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
