This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

VaneTools AI Directory — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can VaneTools AI Directory do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_resource, get_tool, search_mcp_servers, search_plugins, search_prompts, search_resources 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 VaneTools AI Directory working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 831 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is VaneTools AI Directory 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.
How do I connect VaneTools AI Directory?
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 VaneTools AI Directory need an API key?
No. VaneTools AI Directory 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 VaneTools AI Directory?
It answers our handshake in 831 ms on average, which is faster than 11% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
