Available tools 2

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

common

find_common_ground

Pick ONE movie, TV show, book, music artist, podcast, restaurant (kind=place, with location) or destination that a whole group will enjoy. Give each person's name and 2 to 5 things they love. Favourites can come from another category with tasteFrom, for example music artists to pick a restaurant, or any for a mix of artists, movies, TV shows and books. Uses Qloo's taste graph to score every candidate for every person and returns the option that makes the least happy person as happy as possible, with a reason per person.

plan

plan_night_out

Plan dinner, drinks and a live music venue in one city for 2 to 6 friends. Give the city and each friend's name with 1 to 4 music artists, movies, TV shows or books they love. Optionally give an exact night date as YYYY-MM-DD; Qloo then filters venues by that date's weekday only, not by exact opening times, travel or availability. Qloo's cross-domain taste graph turns that shared taste into real venues. Each stop is the venue whose least happy friend is happiest, and Qloo explainability names the favourites behind it, with the share of each friend's taste.

Common Ground — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Common Ground do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_common_ground, plan_night_out. 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 Common Ground 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 243 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Common Ground?

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 Common Ground need an API key?

No. Common Ground completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Common Ground?

It answers our handshake in 243 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.

Is Common Ground open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at common-ground.lipmichal.workers.dev, which runs on its operator's own terms.
