Available tools 10

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

answers

list_answers

List Answers (contract v0), paginated with an opaque cursor. Read-only.

search_answers

Search Answers by free-text query over question/answer text. Returns contract v0 records. Read-only.

guides

list_guides

List the bicycle.guide registry — every guide's home, status, access, standard, syndication and grounding, plus the distribution roll-up (including guides homed to a property with no rendering surface).

search_guides

Search published guides by topic. Returns matches, or a structured refusal with the nearest owned guides and the missing topic. No model call. Filter by persona or category.

answer

get_answer

Get one Answer — question, grounded answer, visible citations — by id or slug, in the Answer contract v0 shape (ANSWERS-PROGRAM.md). Read-only. Returns null if not found.

capabilities

list_capabilities

Traverse the capability spine joining books, guides (capability packages), KSAO-grade elements and jobs. Use min_guides=2 for the cross-cutting capabilities that span many guides, role=<role> for what a job requires, capability_detail=<slug> for one package with its elements and books hydrated. ksao_type/canon_component_id are null by design where unresolved — treat null as 'not yet joined', never as 'no link'.

conditions

list_conditions

List organizational conditions (identity, label, guide count, causal-role counts). Filter by draft domain, subdomain, or causal_role (driver|mediator|outcome). Names and counts only — no addresses, no passages.

disagreements

list_disagreements

Where does the field disagree? Returns cross-book tension names and the books on each pole (title, author, library_id) plus the guide URL. Filter by slug, persona, or category. Names and provenance only — no passages.

guide

get_guide

Get one guide's registry row by slug, with its artifact + routing-surface status.

taxonomy

list_taxonomy

Get the bicycle.guide vocabulary — domains, shelves (with live guide counts), series, personas, guide_types, and the classification conventions (pillar/spoke, discriminant home, bicycle-guide-serves-all) as machine-readable data rather than prose.

Guide Registry — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Guide Registry do?

It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_answer, get_guide, list_answers, list_capabilities, list_conditions, list_disagreements and 4 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 →

What is Guide Registry mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around guides and answers. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Guide Registry working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 116 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Guide Registry still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

The registry lists Guide Registry 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 Guide Registry?

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 Guide Registry need an API key?

No. Guide Registry completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
