# Orb — AI Connector Orb publishes 8 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/productivity/orb/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Productivity](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/productivity/) # Orb Network quality and outage data from the Orb platform Listed in Claude · 8 published tools · Community-listed [Claude connector docs](https://orb.net/docs) [orb.net](https://orb.net/) Overview ## What Orb does Orb measures internet and network experience, and the connector opens that measurement data to querying. The described work is diagnostic: reviewing latency trends over time, checking connectivity quality scores, and isolating an outage that affects one location rather than a whole network, without opening the Orb dashboard. Eight tools are recorded, which for a metrics product suggests query calls parameterised by time range and scope rather than device control. The tier is community, so the listing was self-published. An Orb account with visibility into the relevant sensors or locations is the prerequisite. ### Who it is for Network administrators and IT support staff diagnosing connectivity complaints. ### Tool surface Eight tools against live and historical connectivity metrics reads as time-series querying rather than device control, but the endpoint answered 401 and listed nothing. Availability ## Where Orb is listed Orb is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Orb Forge Inc. has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Orb publishes 8 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 37.7% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one sits 4 tools below its bucket's median, 278th of 462. It falls in the 7-10 tools band, which holds 14.6% of the Claude directory. Orb publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher Orb Forge Inc. Verification Community-listed (61.5% of the Claude directory) Filed under Productivity Endpoint `https://panel.orb.net/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://orb.net/docs) Published tools 8 · 7-10 tools band Depth rank in Productivity 278 of 462 Snapshot August 2026 Orb is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality. In the publisher's words ## How Orb Forge Inc. describes it > Orb MCP bridges the gap between AI-driven troubleshooting and network diagnostics. By securely connecting the Orb platform to Claude, network administrators and IT teams can query live connectivity data without ever leaving the chat interface. Instead of digging through dashboards, you can use natural language to audit latency trends, check internet quality scores, and isolate localized outages instantly.
