Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Well Told every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

If a tool disappears, we record the date.
catalog
search_catalog
Searches Well Told's catalog of custom gifts for clients, employees, teams and events: glassware, tumblers and bottles personalized with a map of a meaningful place, a logo or text. Use it when someone is looking for custom, branded or personalized gifts in quantity. Filters by budget per unit, quantity (minimum order and volume pricing), category, and in-hand date (lead time). Returns each product's id, live price, minimum, estimated delivery date, the design types it offers (map_logo, logo_only) and its Logo Only areas.
checkout
create_checkout
Builds a welltolddesign.com cart link that adds an approved design at the buyer's quantity, with the same design details the Well Told customizer puts on a cart line. Used by the quote card's and proof viewer's buttons. sample: true adds a single unit. Nothing is ordered until the buyer pays on welltolddesign.com.
design
get_design_status
Looks up where a buyer's designs stand: proof history, approval, and hand-off to checkout on welltolddesign.com. It does not see paid orders or shipping tracking.
generate
generate_proof
Creates a draft design the same way the Well Told customizer does and shows it in the proof viewer (flat preview, 3D view, warnings, approval checkboxes). design_type "map_logo" (default): a map of a location in a Well Told map style, plus the buyer's logo; needs location. design_type "logo_only": for each area (front, back, and bottom where search_catalog lists it) the buyer's logo, text (one or two lines, a layout and a font style) or nothing; by default the logo on the front only. Placement, size and rotation are set by Well Told's artwork engine. Returns an error explaining why when an entry can't be made (an unknown place, text too long to etch, an area combination Well Told doesn't sell).
quote
get_quote
Prices a design (design_id) or a product (product_id) at a quantity from Well Told's live store prices: unit price, setup fees, shipping fee, total, lead time, estimated ship and delivery dates, budget check, and the single-sample price. Shows the quote card, where the buyer can continue to welltolddesign.com.
save
save_design
Records the buyer's approval of a draft design. Used by the proof viewer's Approve button after the buyer ticks the proof approval and logo rights checkboxes; it requires both confirmations.
show
show_products
Shows up to 8 products from search_catalog in an interactive grid where the buyer can see photos and prices and pick the products they want proofs for. Pass logo_id once a logo is uploaded so a pick can go straight to a proof.
upload
upload_logo
Stores the buyer's own logo with Well Told and checks it for etching problems, returning a logo_id and plain-language warnings. Accepts a chat attachment (logo_file, where the app can pass attachments to tools), a logo_url the buyer pasted, or the upload_code from an earlier call. Called with no arguments it shows an upload box in the chat (with a secure upload page link as a fallback, works on phones) and returns an upload_code; calling again with that code returns the logo once the buyer has uploaded it.

Well Told — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Well Told do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_checkout, generate_proof, get_design_status, get_quote, save_design, search_catalog 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 Well Told 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 804 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Well Told?
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 Well Told need an API key?
No. Well Told 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 Well Told?
It answers our handshake in 804 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.
