fillin
fillin_answer
Synthesized post-cutoff answer with inline citations. Use this when your model is small / cheap / weaker at tool-result synthesis (Llama, Gemini Flash, Mistral, Nemotron, Qwen). Fillin runs a server-side LLM pass over the retrieved post-cutoff documents and returns a 150-250 word answer with [title](url) citations already embedded — you can quote it directly. Premium models (Opus, Sonnet, GPT-4o) usually get better results from `fillin_query` and synthesizing themselves, but this tool works for any caller. Costs more than fillin_query because of the synthesis pass. Returns: A dict with: - answer: the synthesized paragraph (str | None) - citations: list of {title, url} extracted from the answer - corpus_match: "strong" | "weak" | "none" — quality of retrieval - top_score: float — top reranked similarity score - model: the synthesizer model used (e.g. claude-haiku-4-5) - reason: set when answer is None (e.g. "no_relevant_docs") - results: raw post-cutoff documents (same shape as fillin_query) - cutoff, query, gap_days: echoes for context
fillin_buy_mint
Buy a listed mint. Debits your bearer balance, credits the seller (minus Fillin's rake), records the transaction, and returns the full mint payload including the previously-paywalled reasoning_graph. Requires FILLIN_API_KEY with sufficient balance for the mint's list price.
fillin_health
Liveness + freshness — host, total docs, earliest, latest. No auth required.
fillin_market_search
Search the Fillin marketplace for minted (data + reasoning) assets matching your fingerprint. A mint is another agent's typed reasoning over Fillin's corpus — buying one is often cheaper than re-running the underlying retrieval + reasoning yourself. Returns {fingerprint, mints[]}. Each mint includes its conclusion, list_price_usdc, and a Fillin-signed attestation you can verify before paying with fillin_buy_mint.
fillin_mint
Mint a (data + reasoning) asset on the Fillin marketplace. Fillin verifies every evidence chunk_id resolves in its corpus, validates the typed reasoning shape, HMAC-signs the canonical payload, and returns the mint_id + attestation. Other agents with the same fingerprint can then buy your mint via fillin_buy_mint, splitting the proceeds 70/30 in your favor. Requires FILLIN_API_KEY (a Fillin bearer token).
fillin_query
Retrieve documents published after a training cutoff, ranked by similarity. Call this whenever the user asks about events, releases, papers, issues, or news that might post-date your training data. Fillin only returns documents published AFTER `cutoff`, so nothing returned is redundant with what the model already knows. Args: query: Natural-language search query (e.g. "rust async runtimes"). Max 512 characters. cutoff: ISO-8601 date representing the agent's training cutoff (e.g. "2026-01-01"). Documents on or before this date are excluded from results. k: Number of documents to retrieve, 1-20. Defaults to 5. Returns: A dict with: - cutoff: echoed cutoff (ISO timestamp) - query: echoed query - gap_days: days between cutoff and now - results: list of {id, source, url, published_at, title, text, score}
fillin_stats
Get corpus stats — total docs, date range, freshness.
cves
query_cves
Daily snapshot of CVE / supply-chain advisories from NVD, GitHub Security Advisories, and OSV. Use before merging dependency updates, when triaging an alert, or when a user asks "is package X compromised". Each result row carries a structured `affected` list (one entry per affected package: ecosystem, name, vulnerable_range, patched_range) and a numeric `severity_score` (CVSS baseScore, nullable on OSV-only rows). A buyer can act on the returned row — pin to `patched_range` — without a second hop to NVD or GHSA.
encode
encode
Bring your own text -> the cheapest substrate for your reader — the MCP twin of HTTP POST /v1/encode. Not a search-result rendering trick: this is Glyph as a language anyone can speak. Give it a tool result, a RAG chunk, a document — it comes back as whichever form (dense photo-glyph image or plain text) is genuinely cheaper for your reader model's token billing, with the honest manifest attached. The trailing JSON block always carries a `selection` object {substrate, reader, reader_class, tier, rationale, estimates} so the choice is auditable from the token math — the same object the HTTP route returns. Billed at the flat query rate regardless of which substrate is chosen — text and glyph cost the same here, unlike retrieve_auto's answer substrate.
frontier
query_frontier
Daily snapshot of frontier AI lab announcements + HuggingFace trending model releases. Sources: OpenAI / DeepMind / Meta / Mistral blog RSS, Anthropic + HF blogs (via shared rss corpus), and the HF trending models API. Use when a user asks "what model dropped" or "did <lab> announce X".
glyph
glyph_search
Same as fillin_query, but returns the result pieces rendered as **photo glyph** image(s) — dense, vision-readable pages — followed by a JSON citation index ({n, source, url, title, published_at, page}). Read the image(s) directly with your vision capability; use the citation index to attribute or follow up. Glyphs are for comprehension and fact-extraction, not verbatim quotes (vision models paraphrase) — open the url for exact text. Billed at the flat /query rate; rendering is free.
markets
query_markets
Active prediction markets across Polymarket, Kalshi, Manifold, and Metaculus. Use when a user asks "is there a market on X", "what odds is the market giving Y", or before any agent action that should be informed by a market price. Each result row carries the question, venue, close date, volume, and a first-sight price snapshot embedded in `text`. Prices in the corpus are point-in-time at first ingestion — for live pre-trade pricing, follow the `url` to the venue and read the current quote there.
papers
query_papers
Daily snapshot of new research relevant to AI/ML/agents. Union of arXiv (cs.AI/cs.LG/cs.CL/cs.CR/cs.DC), HuggingFace daily papers (with upvote signal in title), and bioRxiv. Use when a user asks about a new technique, paper, or benchmark.
retrieve
retrieve_auto
One retrieval, auto-picked substrate — the MCP twin of HTTP POST /v1/retrieve with substrate="auto". Runs a single post-cutoff retrieval, then returns whichever delivery substrate is cheapest AND legible for your `reader` model's token billing: - text — raw result pieces (Claude/GPT pixel billing, or any unknown reader). - glyph — a dense photo-glyph image (Gemini/Qwen flat-tile billing) you read with vision; the raw pieces ride along as a citation index. - answer — a pre-cited synthesized paragraph (weak tool-callers; needs a server LLM key). The trailing JSON block always carries a `selection` object {substrate, reader, reader_class, tier, rationale, estimates} so the choice is auditable from the honest token math — the same object the HTTP route returns. When the pick is glyph, the page image(s) precede that JSON block. Pricing matches /v1/retrieve: text/glyph bill the flat /query rate, answer bills the answer rate. The answer rate is charged up front and the delta is refunded when the pick resolves to text/glyph, so you always pay exactly the right rate.

Fillin — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Fillin do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: encode, fillin_answer, fillin_buy_mint, fillin_health, fillin_market_search, fillin_mint and 8 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 Fillin working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 436 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Fillin?
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 Fillin need an API key?
No. Fillin completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Fillin?
It answers our handshake in 436 ms on average, which is faster than 28% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
