TheRundown Documentation MCP does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 93.3% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

docs
query_docs_filesystem_the_rundown_api
Run a read-only shell-like query against a virtualized, in-memory filesystem rooted at `/` that contains ONLY the TheRundown API documentation pages and OpenAPI specs. This is NOT a shell on any real machine — nothing runs on the user's computer, the server host, or any network. The filesystem is a sandbox backed by documentation chunks. This is how you read documentation pages: there is no separate "get page" tool. To read a page, pass its `.mdx` path (e.g. `/quickstart.mdx`, `/api-reference/create-customer.mdx`) to `head` or `cat`. To search the docs with exact keyword or regex matches, use `rg`. To understand the docs structure, use `tree` or `ls`. **Workflow:** Start with the search tool for broad or conceptual queries like "how to authenticate" or "rate limiting". Use this tool when you need exact keyword/regex matching, structural exploration, or to read the full content of a specific page by path. Supported commands: rg (ripgrep), grep, find, tree, ls, cat, head, tail, stat, wc, sort, uniq, cut, sed, awk, jq, plus basic text utilities. No writes, no network, no process control. Run `--help` on any command for usage. Each call is STATELESS: the working directory always resets to `/` and no shell variables, aliases, or history carry over between calls. If you need to operate in a subdirectory, chain commands in one call with `&&` or pass absolute paths (e.g., `cd /api-reference && ls` or `ls /api-reference`). Do NOT assume that `cd` in one call affects the next call. Examples: - `tree / -L 2` — see the top-level directory layout - `rg -il "rate limit" /` — find all files mentioning "rate limit" - `rg -C 3 "apiKey" /api-reference/` — show matches with 3 lines of context around each hit - `head -80 /quickstart.mdx` — read the top 80 lines of a specific page - `head -80 /quickstart.mdx /installation.mdx /guides/first-deploy.mdx` — read multiple pages in one call - `cat /api-reference/create-customer.mdx` — read a full page when you need everything - `cat /openapi/spec.json | jq '.paths | keys'` — list OpenAPI endpoints Output is truncated to 30KB per call. Prefer targeted `rg -C` or `head -N` over broad `cat` on large files. To read only the relevant sections of a large file, use `rg -C 3 "pattern" /path/file.mdx`. Batch multiple file reads into a single `head` or `cat` call whenever possible. When referencing pages in your response to the user, convert filesystem paths to URL paths by removing the `.mdx` extension. For example, `/quickstart.mdx` becomes `/quickstart` and `/api-reference/overview.mdx` becomes `/api-reference/overview`.
submit
submit_feedback
Report a problem with this documentation site so the docs team can fix it. Use when a documentation page is incorrect, outdated, confusing, incomplete, or has a broken example. This is for feedback about the documentation content itself — not for product support requests or feedback about this tool or assistant.
the
search_the_rundown_api
Search across the TheRundown API knowledge base to find relevant information, code examples, API references, and guides. Use this tool when you need to answer questions about TheRundown API, find specific documentation, understand how features work, or locate implementation details. The search returns contextual content with titles and direct links to the documentation pages. If you need the full content of a specific page, use the query_docs_filesystem tool to `head` or `cat` the page path (append `.mdx` to the path returned from search — e.g. `head -200 /api-reference/create-customer.mdx`).

TheRundown Documentation MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can TheRundown Documentation MCP do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: query_docs_filesystem_the_rundown_api, search_the_rundown_api, submit_feedback. 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 TheRundown Documentation MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 56 of 60 checks got a reply (93.3%), average response time 550 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect TheRundown Documentation MCP?
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 TheRundown Documentation MCP need an API key?
No. TheRundown Documentation MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is TheRundown Documentation MCP?
It answers our handshake in 550 ms on average, which is faster than 28% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is TheRundown Documentation MCP open source?
We cannot say that it is: 0 stars on GitHub, but no licence is declared, and without one the code is not open source by default.
