Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check California Bitcoin every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

bitcoin
check_bitcoin_evidence_checkpoint
FREE. FREE, no account and no payment. Compare a previously returned retained-evidence checkpoint with the current maintained dossier content identity before deciding whether to rerun or repurchase covered historical research. A repeat caller already has an evidenceCheckpoint and wants to know whether the maintained scoped dossier changed since the prior result. Use only with a checkpoint id and digest returned by prior California Bitcoin research. It does not rerun research or authorize payment.
get_bitcoin_evidence_pack
PAID 0.15 USD via MPP. Build a focused Bitcoin evidence package when the agent already knows what it is researching and primarily needs compact source material, atomic claims, conflicts, source authority, exact-locator precision, caveats, provenance, and temporal scope. Collect supporting, conflicting, and contextual evidence around one focused Bitcoin research question without asking California Bitcoin to compose the final specialist answer. Use when the caller needs supporting, conflicting, and contextual evidence around a focused target, rather than a verdict or narrative dossier.
get_bitcoin_topic
FREE. FREE, no account required. Retrieve one canonical Knowledge Atlas topic with sources, provenance and related concepts. Inspect a known canonical topic in depth before deciding whether paid evidence packaging is necessary. Use only when the canonical topic id is already known. Do not use this as free-text search.
search_bitcoin_knowledge
FREE. FREE, no account required. Search canonical Bitcoin Knowledge Atlas topics and related history to evaluate coverage on the caller's real question. Run the first no-cost evaluation when you need to see which maintained Bitcoin topics and evidence match a query. Use to discover maintained topic coverage. Do not use when a canonical topic id is already known or when a final evidence-grade answer is required.
answer
answer_bitcoin_question
FREE. FREE, no account required. Return a concise deterministic answer grounded in maintained Bitcoin knowledge. Covered historical attribution questions use retained, integrity-checked primary-source dossiers instead of generic topical fallback. Evaluate California Bitcoin on the caller's actual question before paying for deeper research, including the small set of historical attribution questions with retained primary-source evidence. Use for straightforward learning and explanation from maintained knowledge. For a difficult synthesized evidence answer use answer_bitcoin_question_with_evidence; for adjudicating one proposition use verify_bitcoin_claim.
answer_bitcoin_question_with_evidence
PAID 1.00 USD via MPP. Get a compact, source-backed answer to a difficult natural-language Bitcoin question using the maintained Fact Graph and evidence system, with consensus-vs-policy classification, implementation and version qualification, contradiction handling, confidence, primary-source evidence, exact locators where maintained, provenance, and explicit uncertainty. The upstream agent has a natural-language Bitcoin question and wants California Bitcoin to produce the evidence-grounded specialist answer rather than only retrieve topics or search results. Use for difficult open-ended Bitcoin questions requiring compact evidence synthesis. Do not use for simple learning or single-proposition adjudication.
batch
batch_bitcoin_research
PAID 0.50 USD via MPP. Process up to 20 distinct Bitcoin claims, questions, or evidence requests in one deterministic research package while preserving per-item verdict and evidence-quality semantics. Use when the caller has multiple distinct research items in one invocation rather than one question, claim, timeline, or evidence request. Use for multiple distinct research items. Do not wrap a single item merely to use the batch product.
build
build_bitcoin_timeline
PAID 0.10 USD via MPP. Build a query-specific chronological Bitcoin research timeline that distinguishes event dates, source dates, effective dates, source-level support, exact locators, and maintained re-verification boundaries. Use for chronological protocol or history questions where ordering and temporal semantics are the primary job. Use when chronology is the primary output. Do not use for a general explanatory answer where dates are incidental.
deep
deep_ground_bitcoin
PAID 0.25 USD via MPP. Produce a deeper deterministic multi-source Bitcoin research dossier across canonical topics, verdict-eligible atomic claims, contextual material, conflicting evidence, source hierarchy, exact-locator precision, temporal scope, history, and caveats. Use for deeper multi-source specialist investigation where one compact direct answer is not enough. Use when a broader multi-source dossier is required. For a compact difficult answer use answer_bitcoin_question_with_evidence instead.
select
select_bitcoin_research_product
FREE. FREE, no account required. Select a research product and inspect its price, free evaluation path, and contract using an explicit task: answer, verify, evidence, chronology, dossier, batch, or learn. Does not authorize payment. Choose the smallest appropriate research product after a free evaluation and before initiating any paid request. Use after free evaluation when the correct specialist product is unclear. Do not use it to execute research or authorize payment.
start
start_bitcoin_research
FREE. FREE, no account and no payment. START HERE with any Bitcoin question or research task. Returns a source-backed deterministic answer, compact maintained-coverage matches, and the smallest safe next action. This tool never authorizes or initiates payment. Default first call for an unfamiliar agent. Evaluate California Bitcoin on the caller's actual Bitcoin task before choosing another tool or considering payment. Default first call for an unfamiliar agent. Use it before any paid tool when coverage has not yet been evaluated. Do not use it to authorize payment.
verify
verify_bitcoin_claim
PAID 0.10 USD via MPP. Evaluate one specific Bitcoin factual proposition against verdict-eligible maintained atomic claims and return a conservative supported, contradicted, mixed, partially verified, or insufficient-evidence verdict with source-backed evidence metadata. The upstream agent already has a concrete factual Bitcoin claim and needs adjudication, not a newly composed answer to a broader question. Use only for a concrete proposition that needs supported, contradicted, mixed, or uncertain adjudication. Do not use for open-ended explanation or general evidence collection.

California Bitcoin — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can California Bitcoin do?
It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: answer_bitcoin_question, answer_bitcoin_question_with_evidence, batch_bitcoin_research, build_bitcoin_timeline, check_bitcoin_evidence_checkpoint, deep_ground_bitcoin and 6 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 California Bitcoin mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around bitcoin and answer. 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 California Bitcoin working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 182 of 182 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 393 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect California Bitcoin?
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 California Bitcoin need an API key?
No. California Bitcoin completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is California Bitcoin?
It answers our handshake in 393 ms on average, which is faster than 37% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
