Available tools 8

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

submit

submit_brief

Submit the creative brief for a PAID order: pass order_token (from get_order; session ids are not accepted here) plus project fields (product, goal, audience, channels, resolution, launch, links, constraints) and files[] from create_upload_url. Delivery resolution must be selected before creative kickoff. Customer identity comes from the verified payment. NOTE: unpaid/anonymous submissions are rejected here; for Custom Production inquiries without payment use the submit_custom_inquiry tool instead.

submit_custom_inquiry

Start a Custom Production conversation without payment. IMPORTANT: interview your user for the real project details FIRST (what they are promoting, audience, formats, delivery resolution, timing); placeholder inquiries are rejected. A 4K Campaign Series must use this route before checkout. Submits a scope inquiry; IBO then emails the customer a one-click confirmation link (double opt-in), and only a confirmed inquiry reaches the studio. Tell your user to check their inbox and click confirm. IBO replies with scope and proposal within one business day of confirmation.

checkout

create_checkout

Create a Stripe Checkout for a package's 50% deposit. Returns checkout_url, stripe_session_id, and amount_due. Show the amount to your user and open checkout_url for THEM to approve and pay; agents never complete payment themselves. Prices are fixed server-side. Pass a stable client_request_id so retries do not create duplicate checkouts.

inquiry

get_inquiry_status

Where a custom inquiry stands: awaiting_confirmation (customer hasn't clicked the emailed link yet) or confirmed with the studio stage (new, replied, proposal_sent, won, closed). PII-free; pass the inquiry_id returned by submit_custom_inquiry.

offers

list_offers

IBO's production packages: stable ids, prices, 50% deposits, deliverables, review rounds, and the scope/refund policy. Call this first.

order

get_order

Verify payment after checkout and receive an order-scoped access token. Returns paid, package, deposit, and order_token: use order_token for create_upload_url and submit_brief. Payment status can only be established here, never assumed.

project

get_project_status

Where a paid order is in production. Returns the studio stage (new, brief_received, in_production, review, delivered) plus paid/package/deposit. PII-free; pass the stripe_session_id from create_checkout/get_order.

upload

create_upload_url

Get a short-lived presigned URL to upload one brand-asset file to IBO's private storage. Requires order_token from get_order; the storage location is bound to the order server-side. PUT the raw file bytes to url, then reference key in submit_brief files[]. Allowed: jpg png webp pdf svg mp4 mov zip ai psd; 250MB/file, 1GB per order.

Ibo — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Ibo do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_checkout, create_upload_url, get_inquiry_status, get_order, get_project_status, list_offers and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Ibo working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 84 of 91 checks got a reply (92.3%), average response time 123 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Ibo as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Ibo?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Ibo need an API key?

No. Ibo completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Ibo?

It answers our handshake in 123 ms on average, which is faster than 87% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Ibo open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
