Available tools 4

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

categories

list_categories

List all categories of thinkers available on authority.md. Use when the user wants to browse by domain (Investor, Tech Visionary, Philosopher, etc.) rather than search by name.

persona

get_persona_details

Get the full details for a specific product on authority.md — a persona framework, a functional Tool, a Playbook, or a curated Bundle. Use after search_personas to show complete information before purchase. Returns metadata, a 'type' field, and a preview of the content. Accepts persona slugs (e.g. 'warren-buffett'), Tool slugs (e.g. 'decision-brief'), Playbook slugs (e.g. 'invoice-chase'), and Bundle slugs (e.g. 'founder-stack'). For bundles, returns the full list of persona slugs needed to call purchase_persona.

personas

search_personas

Search the authority.md marketplace. It carries four product types: persona thinking frameworks (e.g. Warren Buffett), hand-built functional Tools (e.g. Strategic Email — procedures for recurring tasks such as difficult emails, hiring, and pricing), Playbooks (systematically produced single-job procedures at a flat $12.99, e.g. Invoice Chase), and curated 10-persona Bundles (e.g. founder-stack, engineers-stack — $29.99 each). Use when the user asks about a specific person, a category, a task they want help with, or wants recommendations. Each result includes a 'type' field ('persona', 'skill', 'playbook', or 'bundle'), slug, focus, and price. For current prices read https://authority.md/products.json.

purchase

purchase_persona

Generate a checkout URL on authority.md for purchasing one or more frameworks, Tools, Playbooks, or Bundles. Accepts 1-50 slugs (personas, Tools, and/or Playbooks, mixed carts allowed). To purchase a Bundle, pass all 10 of its persona slugs (get them from get_persona_details on the bundle slug — they will land on the $29.99 step-pricing tier automatically). Returns a URL the user follows to a checkout page hosted by authority.md that processes payment securely via Stripe. Personas use step pricing; Tools have individual prices; Playbooks are a flat $12.99 each. For current prices call get_persona_details per slug or read https://authority.md/products.json. Confirm with the user which items they want and the total cost BEFORE calling this tool.

authority.md — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can authority.md do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_persona_details, list_categories, purchase_persona, search_personas. 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 authority.md 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 313 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists authority.md 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 authority.md?

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 authority.md need an API key?

No. authority.md completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
