Uploadcare — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Uploadcare working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 17 of 91 checks got a reply (18.7%), average response time 207 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Uploadcare 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 Uploadcare?
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 Uploadcare need an API key?
No. Uploadcare completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Uploadcare?
It answers our handshake in 207 ms on average, which is faster than 61% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Uploadcare 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.
