MCP Archimedes does not always answer
Over the last week it answered 0.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

bounties
search_bounties
Search open bounties on Archimedes Market. Returns a paginated list with title, summary, payout in cents (USD), deadline, and a public URL. Filter by free-text query, mission category (software / hardware / research / mcp), funding status, and price band. Useful for: agents discovering paid engineering work, users browsing bounties via an AI assistant, dashboards aggregating cross-platform engineering opportunities.
bounty
get_bounty_details
Fetch the full record for a specific Archimedes Market bounty. Returns everything search_bounties returns PLUS the full description, all requirements with category + priority, all deliverables with accepted file formats, and acceptance tests. Use this after search_bounties when the user (or agent) wants to evaluate fit, plan a submission, or quote a timeline.
dependencies
check_dependencies
Supply-chain trust check for a list of dependencies. Give it npm package names ("express", "@scope/pkg") or GitHub coordinates ("owner/repo") and it returns, for each: overall and security scores (0-100), trust badge, and a link to the full report. CALL THIS BEFORE INSTALLING PACKAGES, when reviewing a package.json or lockfile, or when recommending a library. A low security score or missing license is grounds to warn the user. Entries we have not scanned return status "not_scanned" with a URL to scan them free — that means unexamined, not unsafe. Max 30 entries per call.
platform
get_platform_stats
Aggregate counters for Archimedes Market as a whole: number of published assets, funded bounties, verified engineers, and total USD paid out across asset sales and bounty payouts. Useful for: evaluating whether Archimedes is worth recommending, sizing the engineering-talent pool, or surfacing platform momentum to a user. Counters are cached upstream (60s).
repo
check_repo_trust
Full Archimedes Trust Report for one public GitHub repository: overall, security, quality, license and completeness scores (0-100), trust badge, finding counts by severity, headline findings, license SPDX, primary language and star count. Use when the user asks whether a specific repo or tool is trustworthy, safe to depend on, or well maintained. Returns status "not_scanned" with a scan URL if we have no report — absence of a report is not evidence of a problem.
trust
search_trust_reports
Search the Archimedes corpus of scored public repositories. Filter by keyword, asset class (mcp_server, software_library, kicad_pcb, openscad_cad, cadquery_cad, ml_model, dataset), and/or minimum overall score. Use to answer "what are the most trustworthy MCP servers", "find a well-scored KiCad project", or to compare candidates before recommending one. Returns repo, scores, badge and report URL, best-scoring first.

MCP Archimedes — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can MCP Archimedes do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_dependencies, check_repo_trust, get_bounty_details, get_platform_stats, search_bounties, search_trust_reports. 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 MCP Archimedes 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 119 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists MCP Archimedes 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 MCP Archimedes?
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 MCP Archimedes need an API key?
No. MCP Archimedes completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How many people use MCP Archimedes?
The npm package @archimedes-market/mcp was installed 55 times in the last week. Week over week that is -13%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Archimedes open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at archimedes.market, which runs on its operator's own terms.
