Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Textarttools MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Textarttools MCP do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: ascii_art_text, get_style_info, list_available_styles, list_figlet_fonts, preview_figlet_fonts, preview_styles and 1 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 Textarttools MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 414 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Textarttools MCP still maintained?
No commits for 13 months. 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 Textarttools MCP?
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 Textarttools MCP need an API key?
No. Textarttools MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Textarttools MCP?
It answers our handshake in 414 ms on average, which is faster than 30% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Textarttools MCP open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 6 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.textarttools.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
