SpeedOf.Me — Claude Code MCP server: speed tests and setup
Run a live connection check from an AI agent and get download, upload, latency, and jitter results. The server can also retrieve earlier tests.
claude mcp add speed-test -e SOM_API_SECRET=<SOM_API_SECRET> -- npx -y @speedofme/mcpWhat SpeedOf.Me does
The run_speed_test tool checks the connection and returns download and upload speeds, latency, and jitter. Use get_test_history to retrieve saved results; the server also exposes resources for recent history and its current configuration. Measurements use the nearest SpeedOf.Me edge location, and test records are kept in ~/.speedofme/history.json.
You need Node.js 18 or later and a SpeedOf.Me API secret. Set it as SOM_API_SECRET; the test cannot run without that credential. To add the server to Claude Code, run claude mcp add speed-test -e SOM_API_SECRET=<SOM_API_SECRET> -- npx -y @speedofme/mcp, then restart the client.
What it helps with
- check current download and upload speeds
- measure connection latency and jitter
- retrieve previous test results
- filter saved results by date with
since
Example prompts for the agent
- Run a SpeedOf.Me check and report my download, upload, and latency.
- Show me my previous SpeedOf.Me tests.
- Find SpeedOf.Me results after this date and compare them.
