Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Claims read-only, but the code runs commands selftest.py:20
    p = subprocess.run([PY, 'skilltide_mcp.py'], input=inp, capture_output=True,
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.

Runs an external command selftest.py:20
    p = subprocess.run([PY, 'skilltide_mcp.py'], input=inp, capture_output=True,

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

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Anclum and you get told the day something new turns up.

Anclum — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Anclum do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_tool, list_categories, search_tools. 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 Anclum 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 853 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Anclum?
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 Anclum need an API key?
No. Anclum completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Anclum?
It answers our handshake in 853 ms on average, which is faster than 10% 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.
Is Anclum open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at anclum.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
