Horizon AI Intelligence missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 11

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

blind
get_blind_spots
Coverage blind spots: companies, models, and people that regional press (Chinese/East-Asian, European, Latin-American) is covering while Western/global feeds are not — ranked, with per-region item counts. Answers "what is Western tech media missing right now?". Measured within Horizon's corpus: "invisible" means zero pickup in the Western feeds Horizon tracks, not a claim about all media.
china
get_china_signal
Shortcut for get_region_signal with region "china": the current China & East-Asia AI signal (Qwen, DeepSeek, Zhipu, Moonshot, ModelScope, and more) that Western feeds often miss — ranked by momentum. Prefer get_region_signal if you may query more than one region.
daily
get_daily_briefing
Today's aggregate AI industry briefing: top stories, emerging signals, new entrants, and regulation updates, distilled from HN/Reddit and official legislative sources. A curated once-daily synthesis — for raw item-level updates since your last check, use get_new_since instead. Optionally pass any past date (YYYY-MM-DD) — the full briefing archive is public.
entity
get_entity_provenance
For one company, model, or person: how much of the claim activity Horizon holds provenance data for is self-reported by that entity versus independently evaluated by someone else. Descriptive counts over the last 30 days — not a score, and not a judgement about whether any claim is true. Answers "is the buzz around X coming from X?".
new
get_new_since
Incremental poll: raw item-level AI news added since a cursor, oldest→newest, with a nextCursor for your next call — use this for "what's new since I last checked"; for the curated once-daily synthesis use get_daily_briefing. Omit cursor for the latest items plus a cursor to start polling from. Titles + links + topics (bodies and higher limits are on the paid tier).
news
search_news
Quick teaser search over recent AI news: returns the top 3 matching titles with links. Full-text search with bodies, filters, and history requires a Horizon subscription.
region
get_region_signal
The current AI signal for a region (china, korea, japan, or eu) — recent, relevance-scored items on that region's models, labs, and analysis, ranked by momentum. Includes local-language press translated into English. The canonical regional tool; get_china_signal is a preset of this with region "china". Returns titles, sources, and links.
regulation
get_regulation_updates
Current AI legislation headlines across the US Congress and federal agencies, US state legislatures, the UK Parliament, and the EU, with each item's legislative stage (proposed / committee / floor action / passed / implementation). State bills are the largest share by far; filter with jurisdiction to narrow.
related
get_related
Semantic 'more like this': given an item id (from get_new_since, search_news, or the feed), returns the most similar recent items by embedding similarity. Titles, sources, similarity scores, links.
sources
list_sources
Describe what Horizon covers: ingestion sources with their source= filter values, the regional lenses (region= / dedicated tools), and how to filter. Call this to understand the corpus before querying.
topic
get_topic_signal
The current AI signal for a topic — recent, relevance-scored items tagged with that topic, ranked by momentum. Like get_region_signal but sliced by subject instead of geography.

Horizon AI Intelligence — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Horizon AI Intelligence do?
It exposes 11 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_blind_spots, get_china_signal, get_daily_briefing, get_entity_provenance, get_new_since, get_region_signal and 5 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 Horizon AI Intelligence working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 89 of 90 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 522 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Horizon AI Intelligence?
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 Horizon AI Intelligence need an API key?
No. Horizon AI Intelligence completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Horizon AI Intelligence?
It answers our handshake in 522 ms on average, which is faster than 29% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
