What changed 6

Every tool that appeared, vanished or quietly changed what it asks for. Recorded since 16 October 2026. No other catalogue keeps this.

16 Oct 5 tool descriptions were rewritten6 times that day estimate_cost, fill_prompt, get_download_link and 2 more
and 1 more, back to 16 October 2026

Nothing serious here today

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

Available tools 7

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

download
get_download_link
Direct download link of a whole ContexteTech dataset, for when the user wants the full file (this online server does not write files); to only look at a few rows, use load_resource instead. Formats: jsonl (original), messages (OpenAI chat), sharegpt, alpaca, csv. Returns the URL, format, number of rows, licence, source and page URL. Fails if the code is unknown or the resource is not a dataset.
estimate
estimate_cost
Estimate in euros what a ContexteTech resource costs to run with common AI models, from the week's list prices. Use it when the user asks about cost, budget or the cheapest model. For a prompt or context: input and output tokens, cost per call for each model and batch discount; for a dataset: cost of one pass over all rows and a fine-tuning estimate on rented GPUs (hours and offers); for a model: memory (VRAM) needed and GPU offers that fit. Returns available: false with a note when no estimate exists for that type.
fetch
fetch
Fetch the full content of a ContexteTech resource by the id returned by search.
fill
fill_prompt
Fill a ContexteTech prompt template and return the ready-to-send text, nothing else. Use it when the user wants a prompt applied to their own case; call load_resource first if you need the template or the exact variable names. 'variables' maps each {{name}} of the template to its text value; extra keys are ignored. Fails with an error if the code is unknown, if the resource is not a prompt, or if a template variable is missing (the error lists the missing names).
load
load_resource
Read one ContexteTech resource, usually right after search_resources or when the user gives a code or page URL. Accepts the short code (end of the page URL, e.g. 'jr6t0n'), 'author/name', or 'code#v2' for a fixed version. Always returns title, type, licence, language, source, version and page URL; plus, for a dataset, the total number of rows, the first rows (default 10, max 50) and a download URL; for a prompt, the template and its {{variables}} (then call fill_prompt); for a context, the system prompt, knowledge and examples. Fails with an error if the code does not exist or the resource is private.
resources
search_resources
Search the ContexteTech catalogue of AI building blocks: fine-tuning and evaluation datasets (chat, DPO, agent traces), prompts, few-shot contexts, MCP servers, models and more, many grounded in official European sources, in 9 languages. Use it first when the user needs AI training or evaluation data, a prompt, a context or an AI component, then call load_resource with a returned code. Write the topic in a few words, in English or the content language; common topics are matched across French, English, German and Spanish (e.g. 'marine weather' finds 'météo marine'), and a type word such as 'dataset' or 'prompt' puts that type first. Resources matching every topic come first; weaker matches carry match: partial. Returns up to 15 matches, each with short code, title, type, language, licence, rows (datasets), description and page URL; when nothing matches, returns a short message suggesting how to rephrase.
search
search
Search the ContexteTech catalogue of AI datasets, prompts and contexts. Returns results with id, title and url.

ContexteTech — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can ContexteTech do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: estimate_cost, fetch, fill_prompt, get_download_link, load_resource, search and 1 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 ContexteTech working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 72 of 72 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 191 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect ContexteTech?
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 ContexteTech need an API key?
No. ContexteTech completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is ContexteTech?
It answers our handshake in 191 ms on average, which is faster than 64% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use ContexteTech?
The pypi package contexte was installed 1 460 times in the last week. Week over week that is +479%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
