Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Static Radio 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.

whats

whats_next

The next items coming up on one station, in airing order, with start times (UTC and US Central), shows, episode titles and links. Community bulletins in the lineup are labeled as community bulletins. To hear any of them, tune in to the station live when it airs; there is no way to play an episode on demand.

whats_on

What's playing right now on one station, or on every station if none is given: the show and episode title, how far in it is and how long is left, the episode's web page, the show's support link when there is one, cover art, and the station's listen link (which tunes in live; listeners don't pick an episode). Community bulletins between episodes are reported as community bulletins.

now

find_on_now

Looks across every station for what's on now and in the next few hours, matching the words of a topic against show names and episode titles (simple word matching). Leave the topic out for a guide to everything on now and coming up soon. Good for 'is anything about birds on?' or 'when's the next PBS News Hour?'.

show

show_details

Details for one episode, by its episodeId (from the other tools), or for a show, by name: the show and episode titles, the episode's web page, the show's support link when there is one, and which station airs it and when in the next 24 hours, according to today's schedule.

stations

list_stations

Lists Static's stations in dial order: id, name, a one-line description, how many people are listening right now (when known) and a link that tunes in live. Start here to find a station's name or id.

Static Radio — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Static Radio do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_on_now, list_stations, show_details, whats_next, whats_on. 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 Static Radio working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 261 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Static Radio?

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 Static Radio need an API key?

No. Static Radio 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 Static Radio?

It answers our handshake in 261 ms on average, which is faster than 55% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
