The Dutch Directory missed 2 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 15

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

tdd
tdd_abroad
Dutch courses, university Dutch departments, CNaVT exam centres and Dutch schools for children near a capital city (within 40 km), with the nearest option when nothing is local. Also says where the basic civic integration exam abroad (inburgering, level A1) is taken for a country: the Dutch embassy or consulate, or the country to go to when it is not held there (capital.civic_exam). Pass a capital (e.g. Tokyo) or an ISO country code (e.g. JP). With no arguments, lists the capitals that have a local option. Use it when someone lives outside the Netherlands and Belgium or asks about Dutch classes, the CNaVT exam, the civic integration exam abroad or a Dutch school in another country.
tdd_city_gaps
Which provider types a Dutch or Flemish city lacks in the index, for example no university course. Use it to explain when to look online or in a nearby city.
tdd_compare
Side-by-side comparison of two schools, apps or tutors by slug, with a plain-language verdict. Use it after a search or shortlist when someone is choosing between two.
tdd_conflict_ledger
The public policy for when Dutch Fluency products appear in results and how independent alternatives are guaranteed. Use it when someone asks whether the directory is independent.
tdd_death_watch
Data-quality signals in the index: stub names and missing prices or lesson counts. Scrape health, not claims about providers. Use it only for maintenance or data questions.
tdd_employer_budget
Planning ranges (not a quote) for Dutch training for a team, from headcount, months, track and cities. Use it for HR or employer questions about cost.
tdd_evidence_pack
A shareable, independent study plan (name, city, goal, weeks) that a learner can show an employer or attach to paperwork. Not legal advice.
tdd_graph
Snapshot of the Dutch Learning Graph: providers, exams and goals and how they connect. slim=true returns counts and types only. Use it for data or research tasks, not for recommendations.
tdd_meta
What The Dutch Directory covers: listing counts by type, the Verified Pro count, doctrine and endpoint URLs. Call it when you need to know the scope of the directory before searching.
tdd_move_plan
Works backward from an arrival, inburgering or exam date to what to start when: courses, exam booking and tutor hours. Use it when someone has a fixed date.
tdd_path
A week-by-week study path that points to real courses, tutors, apps and trials for a city, goal, current level, weekly hours and deadline. Use it when someone asks how to get from one level to another or how to prepare for an exam. Not a progress tracker; practice links to Dutch Fluency always come with alternatives.
tdd_search
Search every way to learn Dutch: schools, universities, apps, podcasts, exams and online tutors. Use it when someone asks where or how to learn Dutch. Filters: city (Dutch or Flemish, e.g. Utrecht, Den Haag, Antwerpen), type, goal (e.g. inburgering, NT2, business, conversation), cefr, online, verified_pro, platform, kind. Each result has directory_url and primary_url to cite.
tdd_shortlist
A short list of the best-fit options for a city and goal, ranked by editorial fit score (not paid). Use it when someone wants a few recommendations rather than every option. A Dutch Fluency item always comes with independent alternatives.
tdd_stats
Live market numbers: listing counts by type, Verified Pro rates and median tutor prices. Use it for questions about the Dutch-learning market as a whole.
tdd_tutors
Online Dutch tutors from italki, Preply, Verbling, LanguaTalk, Verbalplanet, Classgap and Superprof, Verified Pros (3,000+ lessons and a 4.9+ rating) first. Use it for private lessons, conversation practice or a tutor on a schedule; filter by platform or free text.

The Dutch Directory — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The Dutch Directory do?
It exposes 15 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: tdd_abroad, tdd_city_gaps, tdd_compare, tdd_conflict_ledger, tdd_death_watch, tdd_employer_budget and 9 more. 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 The Dutch Directory working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 184 of 184 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 208 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is The Dutch Directory 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 The Dutch Directory?
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 The Dutch Directory need an API key?
No. The Dutch Directory completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 15 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is The Dutch Directory?
It answers our handshake in 208 ms on average, which is faster than 68% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
