The lookup tables you open a dozen times a week, each searchable and on one page.

This group exists for a narrow but constant need: you know a value exists, you need the exact spelling, and you need it in five seconds. What is 418 again? Is the MIME type for a .webp image image/webp or image/web-p? Which port does PostgreSQL listen on by default?
Every table here is searchable and complete — not a "top 20 most common" excerpt that omits the one entry you were looking for. They are static, so they load instantly and keep working offline once opened.
Two of them are maintained lists rather than fixed standards: the free data APIs directory and the free MCP servers directory. Those change as the ecosystem does, and they are the pages here most worth bookmarking.

Frequently asked questions
- Are these tables complete or just the common entries?
- Complete. The HTTP table has every registered status code, the ASCII table all 128 characters including controls, and the colour reference all 148 named CSS colours. Truncated reference tables reliably omit the entry you were actually looking for, so nothing here is abridged.
- Do these pages work offline?
- Yes. Every table is static data rendered with the page, so once it has loaded it stays usable with no network — useful on a plane or inside an air-gapped environment.
- How often are the maintained directories updated?
- The free data APIs and MCP server directories are reviewed periodically and entries that have gone dead or moved behind a paywall are removed. If you find a broken or missing entry, the contact page is the fastest way to flag it.
