Inspect any remote MCP server: transport, protocol, tools, and side-effect hints. No tool calls.

What it does

MCP Canary is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.

No capability identified yet from its description.

Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence) and are not a test of the tool.

2 tools offered to AI assistants

get_pricing · MCP Canary plans, monthly prices (in cents), and limits, plus the free trial. The trial needs no payment and starts on the first monitor write.
inspect_endpoint · Connects to a remote MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP, then legacy SSE), lists its tools, and classifies each tool's side effects from its MCP hints. Never calls a tool on the target. A target problem is status=failed with a stable failure cod

What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method

Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. Launch offer: $39.99 once, for life.
