Will my client connect?

Decided from what the probe found at the endpoint, and from what each client's own documentation says it can complete. Every row carries the day that documentation was read.

What the probe found

17 tools usable without signing in

The server exposes a public surface before authorization: get_code_sets, get_all_cubes_list, get_all_cubes_list_lite, search_cubes_by_title, get_cube_metadata, get_changed_series_data_from_cube_pid_coord, get_series_info, get_changed_cube_list, get_series_info_from_vector, get_bulk_vector_data_by_range, get_changed_series_data_from_vector, get_changed_series_list, get_sdmx_structure, get_sdmx_data, query_sdmx, get_sdmx_vector_data, get_sdmx_key_for_dimension.

No server card

Neither the reserved <endpoint>/server-card location nor the domain's /.well-known/ai-catalog.json describes this endpoint (SEP-2127), so a client that discovers servers by domain will not find it.
