Open the server as AgentStatus.
We open this server as AgentStatus and write one record covering transport, auth, negotiate, list, and call. That is not a sitting inside Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex.
One Connection run
AgentStatus- 01
Transport
ReachedHome internet opened the production URL.
- 02
Negotiate
ModernModern path first. Legacy only if required.
- 03
Call
FailedSession opened. tools/call did not finish.
Named hosts live on Host Compatibility.
The URL is the start. The session is the test.
Grey never changes the grade. Our time cap is our fault. Named-host rows live on Host Compatibility.
The probe path
We open this server as AgentStatus. One run writes one record.
Transport
We open the real endpoint. This is not a ping of the address.
Authorization
Connection uses the credential configured for this server. Host Compatibility starts the host and keeps what it called.
Negotiate, then list
Modern path first, older session path if required. Then tools, resources, and prompts the server advertises.
How a run is graded
Healthy, degraded, or down. Grey never changes the grade.
The grades
Healthy: every applicable step passed. Degraded: the server answered but the check could not finish. Down: no MCP session opened.
Tool checks on this run
Completes the call, returns requested data, matches the published output schema. No output schema is neutral.
What does not count against the server
Our own time cap. Empty lists the tool is allowed to return. A login mode mismatch we caused.
Outside the grade
Grey never changes the grade. A listed tool you never called does not lower Connection.
Not applicable stays grey
This server does not expose that step. Grey never changes the grade.
Listed is not called
A tool that was listed but never called does not lower Connection.
Write tools stay off
Write tools stay off unless you pin them. One run still writes one record.
FAQ
Common questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is Connection a named-host walk? | No. Connection opens the server as AgentStatus and writes one record. Host Compatibility starts the named host and keeps what it called. |
| Does a listed tool lower the grade if you never called it? | No. A tool that was listed but never called does not lower Connection. Write tools stay off unless you pin them. |
| What if an earlier step failed? | Not reached. We stopped. That is not a pass, and later steps stay untested. |

Paste the MCP URL. We open it from home internet and write one Connection record per run.
