Available tools 5

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

context

get_context

The transcript around one claim — the moment in context, with its receipt. Spoken: the episode's public transcript, windowed ±90s around the claim's timestamp. Written (an essay): the verbatim excerpt snapshotted at digest plus a link into the original; never the surrounding text, never a live fetch. Quote the receipt — episode + timestamp, or essay link + excerpt — so the founder can check the moment.

debates

list_debates

Browse the debate registry: id, question, readings, stance count, born (earliest publication date). Optional query: a debate matches when its question has every word of it, case-insensitive, word forms folded (hire/hiring, co-founder/cofounder). Browsing only — it does not rank against a question; use find_perspectives for that. Defaults to debates with 2+ stances, 120 rows a page — page with offset.

perspectives

find_perspectives

Route a founder's dilemma to the debates that genuinely bear on it. Present the readings SEPARATELY — never merge them into one answer. Respect the question's altitude: scale-up material does not answer a pre-PMF dilemma. When coverage is thin it says so — advise from general knowledge rather than stretching a weak match. Returns ≤4 debates and ≤36 stances — a sample, not the full set; get_stances(debate_id) has a debate's complete stances, each with speaker, date, strength and a receipt.

stances

get_stances

Every stance on one debate, grouped by reading — raw material for your own who-would-push-back read. No synthesis. Attribute and date every position (dates are episode publication dates); keep hedged claims hedged. The graph never says who opposes whom — work out yourself which positions push back on the founder's leaning, and name them.

trace

trace_evolution

One speaker's takes in order of episode publication date (optionally on one debate) — reversals and re-assertions visible, never judged. Attribute and date every position (dates are episode publication dates); keep hedged claims hedged. A 2023 position is a 2023 position; if the same person later said otherwise, show both.

996.fm perspective graph — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can 996.fm perspective graph do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_perspectives, get_context, get_stances, list_debates, trace_evolution. 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 996.fm perspective graph working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 520 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect 996.fm perspective graph?

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

Does 996.fm perspective graph need an API key?

No. 996.fm perspective graph completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is 996.fm perspective graph?

It answers our handshake in 520 ms on average, which is faster than 22% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
