The Artillerist Intelligence 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.

The Artillerist Intelligence — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The Artillerist Intelligence do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: articles_by_category, get_article, latest_articles, prepare_commission_quote, prepare_company_intelligence, search_articles 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 →

What is The Artillerist Intelligence mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around prepare and articles. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is The Artillerist Intelligence working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 91 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 968 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect The Artillerist Intelligence?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does The Artillerist Intelligence need an API key?

No. The Artillerist Intelligence 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 The Artillerist Intelligence?

It answers our handshake in 968 ms on average, which is faster than 9% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
