Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 6

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

fire
fire_archive_search
Search kanari's archive of significant wildfires (since 2026-08-03): by ISO-2 country, date range or month, minimum detections or power, status. Each result has a permanent page URL (kanari.io/fr/feu/<slug>). Use for 'what fires happened in <country> in <month>', 'biggest fires this week', 'is the fire near X still active'.
fire_details
Full record of an archived fire by its slug (from fire_archive_search or a kanari.io/fr/feu/<slug> URL): timeline, detections per sensor, peak power, status, witness posts, first press article, aircraft observed on zone.
active
active_fires
Fire clusters detected by satellite over the last N hours (default 24), worldwide or filtered by ISO-2 country, bounding box, or a point with a radius. Returns up to `limit` clusters ranked by relevance (corroborated and recent first). Use for 'is there a fire near X right now' or 'wildfires in <country> today'. Each cluster: position, first/last satellite pass (UTC), detections per sensor, peak fire radiative power (MW), confidence (possible | probable | corrobore = cross-checked with witnesses).
earliness
earliness_cases
Automatic geographic matches between satellite and press timestamps over 72 h. Includes positive and negative gaps; median over all valid matches. Not kanari alert publication time, not proof of distinct fires or a lead over emergency services. Source article links when available.
firefighting
firefighting_aircraft
Near real-time ADS-B positions of water bombers and firefighting helicopters worldwide (Canadair CL-415/CL-215, Air Tractor Fire Boss, DC-10 / BAe 146 tankers, S-64 Air Crane, Firehawk…). Optional ISO-2 filter on the aircraft's country of registration. Coverage and aircraft identification are incomplete; some equipped helicopters also operate at night.
wildfire
wildfire_stats
Aggregated figures from kanari's archive for a period (today, 7d, 30d, a calendar month, or all since 2026-08-03), worldwide or for one ISO-2 country: number of significant fires, active ones, fires with witnesses or aircraft, peak power, daily series, most affected countries and French departments, biggest fires with URLs. Includes a ready-to-cite sentence with the source.

kanari wildfires — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can kanari wildfires do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: active_fires, earliness_cases, fire_archive_search, fire_details, firefighting_aircraft, wildfire_stats. 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 kanari wildfires working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 12 of 92 checks got a reply (13.0%), average response time 416 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists kanari wildfires 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 kanari wildfires?
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 kanari wildfires need an API key?
No. kanari wildfires completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is kanari wildfires?
It answers our handshake in 416 ms on average, which is faster than 36% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is kanari wildfires open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
