What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

recover_decide
Use immediately after an API, MCP tool, automation, or agent action fails and before retrying. Especially use after timeouts, 5xx/429 responses, uncertain execution, or any side-effecting action that may already have completed. Returns the safest deterministic next action: RETRY_

Common questions

Is RECOVER — Decide Safely After a Failed Machine Action safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.3) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, phylokit-mcp

RECOVER

A failed machine action happened. What should happen next?

RECOVER is a tiny deterministic decision API for AI agents, MCP clients, automations, and ordinary backend systems. It converts failure context into one of six actions:

RETRY_NOW · WAIT · REPAIR_REQUEST · VERIFY_FIRST · ESCALATE · ABORT

Use it immediately after a failed API/tool/action and before an automatic retry—especially for side-effecting operations, ambiguous timeouts, rate limits, malformed requests, exhausted retry budgets, and uncertain execution outcomes.

MCP

Tool: recover_decide

Point an MCP client at:

https://recover-api-production-bbba.up.railway.app/mcp

The server is designed for machine discovery and includes server.json metadata for the official MCP Registry.

Why call RECOVER?

Retry libraries answer *how to retry*. RECOVER answers the more important question first: what is the safest next action after this specific failure?

Good call sites include API clients, AI agents, browser automations, workflow engines, MCP hosts, job runners, payment/order flows, and any system where blindly retrying can duplicate a side effect or amplify a failure.

Analytics

GET /activity displays durable, privacy-safe usage telemetry and a permanent FIRST 10 REAL-WORLD STRANGER CONVERSIONS scoreboard. Real-use events are stored separately so discovery traffic cannot push milestones out of history. Raw IPs and request payloads are not stored.

Deploy

The repo is Railway-ready with Dockerfile and railway.toml. Mount a persistent volume at /data so the permanent real-use ledger survives restarts.
