Question 1

What is ManualTest?

Accepted Answer

ManualTest is a production MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI agents like Claude, GPT, or custom AI to perform real network diagnostics from external IP addresses. It provides tools like ping, DNS lookup, SSL check, port scan, and more via a simple API.

Question 2

What is MCP and why do AI engineers need it?

Accepted Answer

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that allows AI assistants to interact with external tools. AI engineers need ManualTest because their agents run inside networks and can't see external connectivity. ManualTest provides the external vantage point for real network diagnostics.

Question 3

How fast are the API responses?

Accepted Answer

ManualTest is optimized for AI agent workflows with sub-100ms response times. This makes it fast enough for real-time AI conversations and automated pipelines.
