Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check The Spool List 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.

browse
browse_open_jobs
List current open jobs that buyers have posted and makers can quote on: title, country, budget and when it was posted. Buyer identities and full briefs are not shown; makers sign up free to see details and quote.
categories
list_categories
Reference lists for the other tools: job categories for create_job_request_link, estimate disciplines with base hourly rates for estimate_job_cost, the total number of live shop items, and shop markets with the items tagged into each.
design
search_design_library
Search The Spool List design library of 3D-printable and fabrication designs. Returns title, designer, licence, price (if any), access ("download" for files The Spool List hosts, "view_only" for third-party models such as Sketchfab that can be viewed but not downloaded here) and a link to the design page, where members can download or get it made by a maker.
estimate
estimate_job_cost
Ballpark price range for a fabrication job from The Spool List rate cards (hourly rate by discipline, complexity, materials, setup and quantity). It is an indicative range, not a quote — makers set their own prices.
job
create_job_request_link
Turn a description of something the user wants made into a pre-filled job post link on The Spool List. Nothing is posted: the user opens the link, reviews the brief, adds photos or files and posts it (free for buyers) to get quotes from makers.
local
find_local_services
Find local service businesses listed on The Spool List in or near a city — for example finishing, welding and fabrication, design and CAD, packing and shipping, electronics repair or architecture. Returns business name, category, area and a listing link; contact details stay on the listing page.
maker
get_maker_profile
Get a maker's public profile by handle: display name, location shown, tier, verification and trust badges, stats, whether they take design jobs, and links to their shop.
makers
search_makers
Find independent makers on The Spool List (3D printing, cosplay, miniatures, CNC, laser, woodworking, textiles, metalwork and more) by skill, material, name or shop. Optionally narrow to a country or city. Returns public shop details: name, handle, city and country the maker chose to show, jobs completed, materials, and a profile link.
shop
search_shop_items
Search ready-made items makers sell in The Spool List shop (the Forge) — prints, props, miniatures, parts and more. Returns title, price, maker and a link to the item page.

The Spool List — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The Spool List do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: browse_open_jobs, create_job_request_link, estimate_job_cost, find_local_services, get_maker_profile, list_categories 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 Spool List working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 35 of 35 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 467 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect The Spool List?
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 Spool List need an API key?
No. The Spool List 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 Spool List?
It answers our handshake in 467 ms on average, which is faster than 26% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
