Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Olark 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 8

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

operator

add_operator_to_group

MUTATES Olark data: adds an operator to a group (team). Olark API: POST /groups/{group_id}/operators (JSON body { operator_id }). Reversible via remove_operator_from_group. Adding to a nonexistent group returns 404.

create_operator

MUTATES Olark data: creates a new operator (chat agent). Olark API: POST /operators (JSON). Required: email and password; nickname (display name) optional. NOTE: creating an operator CONSUMES A PAID SEAT (billing side effect). Returns the created operator.

get_operator

Fetch a single operator (chat agent) by id. Olark API: GET /operators/{id}. Returns id, email, nickname, available.

remove_operator_from_group

MUTATES Olark data: removes an operator from a group (team). Olark API: DELETE /groups/{group_id}/operators/{operator_id}. Reversible via add_operator_to_group. Does NOT delete the operator, only their group membership.

update_operator

MUTATES Olark data: updates an existing operator. Olark API: PUT /operators/{id} (JSON). Set nickname (display name) and/or available (online/offline status); use the `fields` passthrough for any other documented field. NOTE: Olark uses full PUT semantics — omitting a field may reset it to its default. The path id is never sent in the body.

groups

list_groups

List all groups (teams) on the Olark account. Olark API: GET /groups. Returns groups (each with id, name, and operator_ids — the members).

olark

olark_request

Power-user escape hatch: GET any Olark API path not wrapped by a dedicated tool. READ-ONLY — only GET is allowed. Pass the FULL API path after the base, starting with a slash, INCLUDING any query string, e.g. "/operators?page=2" or "/groups". Returns the parsed JSON.

operators

list_operators

List all operators (chat agents) on the Olark account. Olark API: GET /operators. Returns operators (each with id, email, nickname, available). Only operators under the authenticated account are returned (sub-accounts are not).

Olark — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Olark do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add_operator_to_group, create_operator, get_operator, list_groups, list_operators, olark_request and 2 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 Olark 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 164 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Olark?

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 Olark need an API key?

No. Olark completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Olark?

It answers our handshake in 164 ms on average, which is faster than 74% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Olark open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
