The Machine Record does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 41.2% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 6

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

case

get_case

Full record of one case by its reference (TMR-0123) or URL slug: summary, machine, dated timeline of what each source established, the sources with their tier and archive copy, and any linked NHTSA Standing General Order report.

cases

search_cases

Search verified incidents involving commercial robots and autonomous vehicles (robotaxis, delivery robots, humanoids, industrial arms, surgical and consumer robots). Every case has at least two independent sources and is followed from first report to investigation, recall, fine, lawsuit or settlement. Returns case summaries with permanent URLs; use get_case for the timeline and sources.

companies

list_companies

Every company with at least one published case: number of cases, how many went beyond the first report, and the share. Not a safety ranking: the register counts reported incidents, not incidents per machine.

company

get_company

One company's cases with harm and escalation counts, breakdown by incident type, and the category average for comparison.

nhtsa

search_nhtsa_sgo

Crash reports filed under NHTSA's Standing General Order 2021-01 by automated driving system (ADS) and Level 2 driver assistance operators, 2021 to today, one row per report at its latest version, or one row per incident when grain is 'incident' (filings by several entities about one crash collapsed at the highest severity). Rows are the operators' own filings, not verified cases, and a filing does not establish fault.

register_totals

Headline numbers: cases, cases that reached a regulator, recall or court, archived sources, companies, earliest year, last update, cases by country, and totals of the NHTSA Standing General Order file.

The Machine Record — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The Machine Record do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_case, get_company, list_companies, register_totals, search_cases, search_nhtsa_sgo. 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 Machine Record working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 23 of 92 checks got a reply (25.0%), average response time 267 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is The Machine Record 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.

The registry lists The Machine Record as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect The Machine Record?

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 Machine Record need an API key?

No. The Machine Record completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is The Machine Record?

It answers our handshake in 267 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
