Quality: 43/100 (Fair) | Auth: No auth required
MyMCPTools
Developer Tools · Local stdio
Quality: 43/100 (Fair) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose MCP Server Health Monitor if you need specialized Developer Tools tools running via a local process. Choose MyMCPTools if your workspace requires Developer Tools integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose MCP Server Health Monitor when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
probes all configured servers in parallel via `list_tools`, measures latency, and stores results. Accepts an optional `timeout_ms` parameter (default: 5000).
get_server_status
returns per-server detail including latency, last seen time, 24-hour error count, last error message, and p50/p95 latency percentiles. Requires `server_name`.
list_degraded
filters to servers that are offline or have latency above the threshold. Accepts an optional `latency_threshold` override.
get_history
returns raw health check history for a specific server, ordered most-recent first. Requires `server_name`; accepts optional `limit` (default: 50, max: 500).
configure_server
registers a new MCP server to monitor. Servers added this way are stored in `~/.mcp/extra-servers.json` and merged with auto-discovered servers. Required: `name`, `command`. Optional: `args`, `env`.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
MCP Server Health Monitor is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, MyMCPTools belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select MCP Server Health Monitor when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and MyMCPTools when you require tools for developer tools.
removes a manually registered server from monitoring. Only affects servers added via `configure_server`; auto-discovered servers are not affected. Requires `name`.
check_updates
detects version drift by hashing tool schemas on each probe and comparing against the last stored hash. Returns `has_changed`, `previous_hash`, `current_hash`, and `changed_at` per server.
export_dashboard
generates a self-contained single-file HTML dashboard with summary cards, per-server status table with p50/p95 latency, and inline SVG uptime sparklines. Accepts an optional `output_path` to write to disk.

search_mcp_servers
Which servers match this keyword, category, client integration or install type?
get_mcp_server
Full entry for one server: install command, repo, supported clients, current probe verdict.
get_server_status
Is this server reachable right now? Verdict, exposed tool count, handshake latency, negotiated protocol version.
get_server_history
Trailing probe history and a daily uptime sparkline for one server.
list_server_incidents
Reconstructed outages — contiguous runs of failed probes, with start, end and duration.
list_schema_drift
Which servers added, removed or changed tools between probes. Useful for spotting breaking changes.
list_categories
Every category and client integration, with counts. Returns the valid slugs for the filters above.
