PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search_tools

    Search the Tool Pantry catalog of 216 free browser tools for PDF, images, video, audio and text. Use this first: it returns the exact tool page URL for a user request (e.g. "compress image to 100kb", "merge pdf", "heic to jpg").

  • text_stats

    Count characters, words, sentences, paragraphs, lines and reading time for a piece of text.

  • hash_text

    Hash a string with SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512. Returns hex and base64 digests.

  • generate_uuid

    Generate random UUID v4 values.

  • generate_password

    Generate random passwords using the platform crypto RNG.

  • json_format

    Validate, pretty-print or minify a JSON string.

  • base64

    Base64 encode or decode UTF-8 text.

  • color_convert

    Convert a hex colour to RGB and HSL.

  • qr_code

    Generate a QR code for any text or URL. Returns SVG markup (or JSON with the SVG string).

Common questions

Is Tool Pantry 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 (1.1.0) reached the registry 20 days 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?

Tool Pantry MCP Server

An MCP server for [Tool Pantry](https://toolpantry.app) — 216 free browser tools for PDF, images, video, audio and text that process files entirely in the user's browser. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, no watermark and no file-size limit.

The server has two jobs:

  1. `search_tools` — find the exact tool page for a request ("compress image to 100kb", "merge pdf", "heic to jpg") so an agent can hand over a working link instead of generic advice.
  2. Small stateless helpers — text stats, hashing, UUIDs, passwords, JSON formatting, Base64, colour conversion and QR codes, all served by the same public API.

Zero dependencies, ~200 lines, runs on any Node 18+.

Listed in the official MCP registry

io.github.wu736139669/toolpantry-mcp
curl "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=io.github.wu736139669/toolpantry-mcp"

Use it over HTTP

The same server runs on Cloudflare Workers at `https://mcp.toolpantry.app/mcp` (streamable HTTP, stateless):

curl -X POST https://mcp.toolpantry.app/mcp \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

https://mcp.toolpantry.app/ returns a small health/capability JSON.

Install

Install

Every tool is a thin wrapper over the public, key-free API at https://toolpantry.app/api — the same endpoints are documented in the API reference. Point the server somewhere else with TOOLPANTRY_API=https://toolpantry.app/api.

Why a tool directory needs an MCP server

Most "AI tool" directories are chat boxes. A file task is not a chat task: the agent should not ask the user to upload a passport scan to a stranger's server. Tool Pantry's whole premise is that the work happens in the user's own tab, so the agent's job is only to pick the right URL and hand it over.
