Available tools 3

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

compare
compare
Side-by-side specs and fit notes for two or three catalogue items by id.
gear
find_gear
Recommends up to three darts-equipment items (steel-tip and soft-tip darts, bristle and electronic dartboards, flights, shafts, cases, oche mats, lighting, surrounds) from a curated UK catalogue, ranked by fit, not by payment. Each result gives the fit score, the reasons, the specs, the evidence links (maker spec sheet and an independent review) and a link to the item's page on hotshot.kwixa.co.uk where the person can see current prices and where to buy. Prices are in GBP and were checked on the date shown. The ranking rule is published as the fit_rule resource. An empty result means nothing in the catalogue clears the fit floor; say so rather than guessing.
item
get_item
Returns the full record for one item by id (ids come from find_gear): specs, fit fields, why and why not, evidence links, retailers that stock it (names only, no links), provenance and when it was last checked.

HotShot Gear — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can HotShot Gear do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare, find_gear, get_item. 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 HotShot Gear working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 383 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect HotShot Gear?
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 HotShot Gear need an API key?
No. HotShot Gear completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is HotShot Gear?
It answers our handshake in 383 ms on average, which is faster than 38% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
