Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check The Flowers Directory 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 9

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

delivery

check_delivery

Check whether florist delivery is available to a US ZIP code on one specific date. Availability is per ZIP and date, not per arrangement. Same-day delivery requires ordering before 1:00 PM in the recipient's local time zone, Monday through Saturday. When a date is unavailable, the result includes a reason (Sunday, past date or past the same-day cutoff) when one is known.

get_delivery_location_guidance

Return practical guidance for sending flowers to a specific kind of place: funeral_home, place_of_worship, hospital, residence, business, senior_living. Covers which arrangement types are appropriate and which to avoid, venue rules (such as hospital units that do not allow flowers), what details the florist needs, which checkout field each detail goes in, timing, and suggested search filters. With a city and state or ZIP, also lists funeral homes (for funeral_home) or hospitals (for hospital) in that city from the directory, with addresses.

arrangement

get_arrangement_details

Return full details for one arrangement by product code: all photos, size (height x width when the florist network publishes it), full description, flowers and colors, occasions it suits, price and total before tax, the substitution policy, and delivery terms. Use it to show a customer exactly what they are buying.

arrangements

search_arrangements

Search The Flowers Directory catalog of fresh flower arrangements and plants for US florist delivery, by occasion (birthday, sympathy/funeral, get well, anniversary, romance, new baby, thank you and more), color, flower type, arrangement type (vase, basket, standing spray, wreath, casket spray and more), size, budget and free text. Every result includes the product code used by the other tools, the arrangement price, a photo URL, total_before_tax (price plus the flat $19.99 delivery fee) and, when known, structured attributes: arrangement type, size tier, height and width in inches, stem count, container and who it suits (sender_fit). Returns up to 20 matches, best match first.

checkout

get_checkout_link

Return the purchase link for an arrangement plus a price breakdown. With a recipient ZIP the breakdown includes the exact delivery fee, tax and order total; with a ZIP and date it also confirms delivery availability. Opening the link adds the arrangement to the cart and opens the cart panel; the customer clicks Checkout and enters the recipient address, delivery date, card message and payment there.

local

find_local_florists

List florists located in a US city from The Flowers Directory's city pages, with addresses, phone numbers when listed, and the date each listing was last verified. These are directory listings: an order placed through The Flowers Directory is made and delivered by a florist in the Florist One network, which may or may not be one of the listed shops.

next_available_delivery

List up to 14 upcoming delivery dates available to a US ZIP code, with the earliest date, whether same-day delivery is still possible right now in the recipient's local time (1:00 PM cutoff), and how long is left before the cutoff.

order

get_order_status

Look up an existing order placed on The Flowers Directory, using the order number from the confirmation email and the email address used at checkout. Returns the items, scheduled delivery date, delivery city and whether that date is upcoming, today or past. It does not provide live courier tracking; for delivery confirmation, changes or cancellations it returns the order-help phone and text numbers.

prefilled

create_prefilled_checkout

Save delivery details for one arrangement on theflowersdirectory.com for 24 hours and return a checkout link that opens with the arrangement in the cart and those details filled in, plus the price breakdown (exact total when a ZIP is given). Takes the recipient's name, venue, room or unit, card message and special instructions, with the ZIP and delivery date. It does not place an order or take payment: the customer adds the street address and phone numbers, checks the details, pays and places the order on the site.

The Flowers Directory — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The Flowers Directory do?

It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_delivery, create_prefilled_checkout, find_local_florists, get_arrangement_details, get_checkout_link, get_delivery_location_guidance and 3 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 Flowers Directory 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 158 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect The Flowers 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 Flowers Directory need an API key?

No. The Flowers Directory completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is The Flowers Directory?

It answers our handshake in 158 ms on average, which is faster than 79% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
