• smithsonian_explore

  smithsonian-mcp-server

  Browse Smithsonian collections by category to answer "what does the Smithsonian have about X?" questions. Constructs and executes a category-constrained search, then returns an overview: total count, a curated set of sample objects, and a breakdown of which museums hold matching objects. Four browse modes: museum (by unit code or name), culture (by culture term), period (by decade), medium (by object type). Use as the entry point for open-ended research.

• adcritter_build_app

  AdCritter for Builders

  Start here when building an application. Returns an overview of what the AdCritter platform offers and a catalog of feature guides you can query with the adcritter_guidance tool to learn how to build each part of the app. Call adcritter_guidance(key) for any feature area to get detailed building instructions with API endpoints and response shapes.

• aws___search_documentation

  AWS Knowledge

  AWS docs search. Each result's `context` is verbatim page text -- a real chunk of the actual page, not a short snippet -- and usually already contains the answer, so answer directly from it. Use `read_documentation` only when the chunks genuinely lack the needed detail. Pick ONE topic. Add a 2nd ONLY if query genuinely spans domains. Extra topics dilute ranking. - reference_documentation -- API/SDK/CLI specs, config params - current_awareness -- new/released/announced - troubleshooting -- errors, "how to fix" (NOT for conceptual/feature questions) - amplify_docs -- Amplify (+ language) - cdk_docs -- CDK concepts/guides - cdk_constructs -- CDK code samples, L3 - cloudformation -- CFN/SAM templates - strands_docs -- Strands Agents SDK (its Skills/agents concepts go here, NOT agent_skills) - agent_skills -- this tool's guided skills (load via `retrieve_skill`) - general (default) -- architecture, best practices, tutorials, feature behavior Results: rank_order (lower=better), url, title, context (verbatim page chunk -- answer directly from it).

• edgar_company_facts

  Edgar

  AUTHORITATIVE full XBRL fundamentals dump for a US public company by CIK. Returns every reported financial metric (hundreds of concepts: revenue, net income, assets, liabilities, EPS, cash flow lines, segment breakdowns) with annual and historical values pulled straight from the company's SEC filings — the official numbers, not estimates. Use when you need the complete fundamental picture vs. one metric (for one metric use edgar_company_concept). Large payload; agents typically use this once to discover available concepts then narrow to edgar_company_concept for follow-up queries.

• call_creative_worlds

  Heista

  Heista's creative direction engine — same engine the Creative Director specialist runs internally, exposed over MCP. ONE-SHOT: give a brief, get N finished creative outputs. For back-and-forth refinement, or output shapes the `medium` enum below does not cover, use chat_with_creative_worlds instead. OUTPUT SHAPE switches on the `medium` arg: • omitted → N territory cards (default exploration). Each card sits on different psychology / craft / feel / world axis coordinates so the set spans the creative space rather than orbiting one insight. Card has: name, campaign line, 5-8 sentence pitch, one-sentence strategic bet, resolved axis state names, creative-director rationale. • `tvc` → N TVC scripts (15-90s — hook, arc, resolve, sound design, end line). • `billboard` / `ooh` / `print` → N out-of-home concepts (visual concept + line + placement rationale). • `social` → N social-video concepts (hook + format type + middle beat + payoff, optimised for Reels / TikTok / Shorts). • `activation` / `experiential` → N activation concepts (space design + user journey + peak moment + takeaway artifact). • `audio` → N sonic / radio concepts (sonic scene + voice + audio arc). • `campaign` → N full campaign platforms (insight → big idea → strategy → visual world → production roadmap). The engine can also produce manifesto / copy, naming, packaging, PR stunts, content series, brand positioning, partnerships — these output shapes are NOT in the medium enum, so use chat_with_creative_worlds when the user wants one of those. USE WHEN: user says "give me ideas / options / directions / territories", "what angles work for...", "show me three / five ways to...", "write a TVC for...", "draft billboard concepts for...", "I need fresh thinking on...". DO NOT USE to refine one existing direction (use chat tool), to critique work, for OKRs / internal docs / strategy decks, or anything outside advertising creative direction. INPUTS: brief (the creative problem, free text), count (2-6 concepts), optional brand_id (from list_brands or any create_powersource_* — when provided the engine grounds output in the brand's buyer tensions, voice, and selling points), optional medium (above), optional lens_hint (apply a playbook or signature move as a creative constraint), idempotency_key (safely retryable for 5 minutes). Returns the finished creative output as narrative text PLUS a structured array of resolved axis coordinates for programmatic use. Metered — typically 3-15 credits per call depending on count and brand context size. Charged after success on actual token usage.

• getMarketOverview

  qubitsok — Quantum Computing Jobs, Papers & Researchers

  Get a snapshot of the quantum computing landscape — no parameters needed. Use when the user asks broad questions like "how's the quantum job market?", "what are trending topics?", or wants an overview of the quantum computing industry. Returns: total active jobs, top hiring companies, jobs by role type, papers published this week, total researchers tracked, and trending technology tags. For specific job/paper/researcher searches, use the dedicated search tools instead.

• dashboard-get

  hjarni

  Get an overview of the Second Brain: counts of notes, containers, tags, and inbox items, plus recent_notes (the 5 most recently created personal notes) and recent_changes (the 5 most recently edited notes across ALL spaces — personal, teams, and shared containers — newest edit first). Use recent_changes to orient at the start of a conversation on what changed lately everywhere. No parameters required.

  Connector

• list_domains

  OpenDataModels MCP server

  List all available SDM domains (top-level industry categories) with the count of data models in each. Use this as the entry point when the user wants an overview of what sectors are covered, or before calling list_models_by_domain. No parameters required. Example: list_domains({})

• suggest_terms

  Arco Lexicon

  Scans a block of text against all published Arco Lexicon terms using deterministic string matching — no LLM calls. Returns two lists: terms whose canonical names appear explicitly in the text (detected), and terms whose concepts are present but whose canonical names are absent (suggested). Maximum 10,000 characters. Use this to audit an article or passage for correct and complete Arco terminology. Use verify_alignment instead when you want a scored alignment report rather than a term discovery list.

• get_savvly_product_info

  savvly

  Get complete product information about Savvly, an SEC-registered security offering longevity protection — use it whenever the user asks what Savvly is, how it works, its fees, eligibility, or payouts, or wants an overview. Pass `section` to focus the answer (default 'all'). It renders an interactive product overview card the user expects to see. These facts come from Savvly's own current records; the response includes primary sources (e.g. SEC filings) for reference.

• usaspending_get_agency

  usaspending-mcp-server

  Fetch an agency's current fiscal year overview including mission, budget authority, obligation totals, sub-agency count, and DEF codes for disaster/emergency funding. Also returns sub-agency breakdown with transaction counts. Accepts either a 3-digit toptier_code (e.g., 097 for DoD, 012 for Agriculture) or an agency_slug (e.g., department-of-defense) — both appear in usaspending_list_agencies results and award search results.

  Connector

• get_overview

  painspotter

  Get a global overview of PainSpotter: all domain categories (with theme count, opportunity count and 30-day mentions) plus a snapshot of currently trending themes. A good first step to map the landscape before drilling in with the other tools. (Free tool)

• eurlex_get_relations

  eur-lex-mcp-server

  Traverse the one-hop CDM relationship graph of an EU act: what it amends or is amended by, what it repeals or is repealed by (explicit and implicit), its consolidated versions, its legal basis, and works that cite it. Returns direct relations only, paginated per relation type and direction. Requires a CELEX number or CELLAR work URI.

  Connector

• cabgo_about

  Cabgo Builder

  Public (no auth): describe what Cabgo is. Returns the full product catalog — what kinds of apps an operator can launch, pricing, who Cabgo is for, and how to onboard. Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks what Cabgo is, what it does, or wants an overview. **Do NOT call this as a pre-step before cabgo_create_my_app** — when the user wants to create / launch an app, go directly to cabgo_create_my_app without fetching context first.

  Connector

• cancel_order

  Emercoin swap

  Cancel a still-unpaid buy_emc order by its `token`, expiring it now and freeing its slot ahead of the TTL. Use this only before you pay; once a payment is in flight or confirmed it is too late and this errors. A payment sent after cancellation matches nothing and is NOT refunded. To only inspect an order without changing it, use get_order_status.

  Connector

• get_engine_schema

  reefapi-mcp

  COMPACT overview of ONE engine: every action with its description, required params and what it returns — but NOT the full param detail (kept lean so a 90-action engine stays token-cheap). Call this after search_engines to pick the right ACTION, then get_action_schema(engine, action) for that action's full params before call_engine.

  Connector

• close

  Vaaya

  Close an E2B sandbox session and stop its billing. Pass the `session_id`. Captures the final metered uptime cost and releases the hold. ALWAYS call this when finished with a session — an open session keeps billing per second of uptime. Safe to call repeatedly (idempotent).

  Connector

• describe_asset

  Sidecar

  Fetch detailed information about a data asset by its identifier. Resolves the asset, then fetches the requested sections in parallel. Use this after advanced_search or resolve_asset_id to get deeper information about a specific asset. Sections: - overview: asset description, importance, owner, metadata - columns: full column schema with types and descriptions - tests: dbt test coverage (only for assets with a dbt parent) - context_counts: cheap count of linked tickets and Slack threads - tickets: full Jira/Linear ticket content - slack: full Slack thread content (truncated to first 5 messages per thread)
