FabTally Utility Belt missed 2 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

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

convert
convert
FREE. Convert a value between units in the same dimension: length, mass, temperature, volume, data, time, area, speed, angle, pressure, energy. Deterministic. Args: value (number), from (unit), to (unit). e.g. {value:100, from:'c', to:'f'} or {value:1, from:'GiB', to:'MB'}. Different-dimension conversions 400.
cron
cron
PAID $0.001. Parse a 5- or 6-field cron expression and return the next N run times plus a plain-English description. Args: expression, timezone (IANA, default UTC), count (default 5), from (ISO, optional). Without payment returns the x402 challenge; pass x_payment to settle.
currency
currency
PAID $0.001. Convert an amount between currencies at reference/mid-market rates from a keyless public central-bank feed (ECB), cached. Informational, not a dealable quote. Args: amount, from, to (ISO-4217, e.g. USD, EUR, JPY). Without payment returns the x402 challenge; pass x_payment to settle.
datemath
datemath
PAID $0.001. Calendar date math. op='add'/'subtract' an ISO-8601 duration (P1Y2M10DT2H30M) to a date; op='diff' two datetimes into chosen units; op='business-add' add business days (configurable weekend + holidays); op='business-diff' count business days between two dates. Without payment returns the x402 challenge; pass x_payment to settle.
diff
diff
PAID $0.001. Diff two texts: a unified patch, a structured op-list (add/remove/equal), and add/remove/hunk stats. Args: a, b, mode (lines|words|chars, default lines), context (default 3), label_a, label_b. Without payment returns the x402 challenge; pass x_payment to settle.
encode
encode
FREE. Encode or decode text. op is one of base64-encode|base64-decode|base64url-encode|base64url-decode|hex-encode|hex-decode|url-encode|url-decode|html-encode|html-decode. Args: op, text.
hash
hash
FREE. Compute a cryptographic digest: sha256, sha512, sha384, sha1, md5, sha3-256, keccak256, ripemd160. Optional HMAC via hmac_key. Output hex (default), base64, or base64url. keccak256 also returns a 0x-form (handy for Ethereum). Args: algorithm, text (+ input_encoding utf8|hex|base64, output_encoding, hmac_key).
id
id
FREE. Generate identifiers. kind is one of uuidv4|uuidv7|ulid|nanoid|hex|base64url|int. count up to 1000. nanoid takes `size`; hex/base64url take `bytes`. Uses a CSPRNG. Args: kind, count.
jsonschema
jsonschema
PAID $0.001. Validate a value against a JSON Schema (draft 2020-12) and explain every error in plain English (which property, what was wrong, allowed values). Args: schema (object), data (any). Without payment returns the x402 challenge; pass x_payment to settle.
regex
regex
FREE. Run a regular expression against input with catastrophic-backtracking protection (it runs in a killable worker with a hard timeout, so a pathological pattern returns a 400 instead of hanging). op is test|match|extract|replace. Args: pattern, input, flags (gimsuy), op, replacement (for replace).
rrule
rrule
PAID $0.001. Expand an iCal RRULE (RFC 5545) recurrence into its next N occurrences. Args: rrule (e.g. 'FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO,WE;COUNT=10'), after (ISO, default now), count (default 5), timezone. Tip: include DTSTART for anchored series. Without payment returns the x402 challenge; pass x_payment.
text
text
FREE. Text transforms. op='slugify' -> URL slug; op is one of camel|pascal|snake|kebab|constant|dot|path|title|sentence|upper|lower for case conversion; op='template' fills {{placeholders}} from `data`. Args: op, text (for slugify/case), or template + data (for template).
timezone
timezone
PAID $0.001 (x402, USDC on Base). Convert an instant between IANA time zones with historically-correct DST. Returns converted datetime, UTC offsets, tz abbreviations, DST flags, and the offset difference. Args: datetime (ISO 8601 or epoch), from_zone, to_zone. Without payment returns the x402 challenge; pass x_payment to settle. Free teaser exists on the HTTP API at /v1/timezone/free.

FabTally Utility Belt — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can FabTally Utility Belt do?
It exposes 13 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: convert, cron, currency, datemath, diff, encode and 7 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 FabTally Utility Belt 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 127 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect FabTally Utility Belt?
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 FabTally Utility Belt need an API key?
No. FabTally Utility Belt completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 13 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is FabTally Utility Belt?
It answers our handshake in 127 ms on average, which is faster than 80% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is FabTally Utility Belt 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.
