Nothing serious here today

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

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, but it did not say what kind of credentials it expects.

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.

ctrl

ctrl_activate

Return an EIP-5792 transactions[] batch the user signs ONCE to deploy their vault + register spending rules. After signing, the keeper runs the workflow autonomously per the on-chain caps.

ctrl_create_workflow

Create a CTRL workflow draft. ONE trigger + an ordered chain of up to 20 actions/conditions/utilities. Returns { workflowId, activateUrl }. Pass `targetChain` to pick which chain the workflow runs on — "base" (default, launchpads + Aerodrome + UniV4) or "ethereum" (UniV3 only, no launchpads, no clanker/zora). CRITICAL: call ctrl_get_block_catalog FIRST (with the same `chain` value) to discover field names — every key in trigger.config and chain[].config must exactly match catalog fields[].key. Populate EVERY field the user expressed intent for. For pool.created (Token Launch, Base-only) set launchpad (e.g. ["bankr"]), keywordIncludes ("ai,agent,claw"), keywordMatchMode "any", keywordCategories (["ai_agents"]), safetyEnabled true, safetyRejectHoneypot true, safetyMinScore 50. For cypher.swap set tokenIn ("ETH"), tokenOut ("{{trigger.tokenAddress}}"), tokenOutMode "dynamic", amount (ETH units, e.g. 0.005 — ASK USER if not specified), slippage (15 for snipes), and autoSell* if user wants an exit (autoSellEnabled true, autoSellMode "multiple", autoSellMultiplier 2, autoSellPercent 100, autoSellReceiveToken "USDC"). For notify.telegram set message with {{token}}/{{amount}}/{{txHash}} placeholders. Interview the user for missing critical fields (amount, exit strategy, keywords) — do not silently default.

ctrl_fire_manual

Manually fire a workflow once. Keeper picks up within ~5s. Use to test a workflow without waiting for its natural trigger.

ctrl_get_block_catalog

Return the live catalog of every CTRL workflow block with id, label, description, and config-field schemas. Call this before ctrl_create_workflow when unsure of a block's config shape. Pass `chain` to filter to blocks that are compatible with the target chain (Base = launchpads + Aerodrome + UniV4; Ethereum = no launchpads, V3 only). Default is "base".

ctrl_get_execution_logs

Read recent workflow executions: trigger, status, BaseScan tx hash, gas, timing. Without workflowId returns the user's most recent across all workflows.

ctrl_get_vault_status

Read the user's CTRL vault address, ETH + WETH balance, and active rules. Call this BEFORE ctrl_activate so you can tell the user how much they need to fund.

ctrl_withdraw

Return an EIP-5792 batch the user signs to withdraw funds from their CTRL vault back to their wallet. The agent never signs. token defaults to ETH; pass WETH or a 0x token address for other assets; omit amount to withdraw the full balance.

CTRL — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can CTRL do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: ctrl_activate, ctrl_create_workflow, ctrl_fire_manual, ctrl_get_block_catalog, ctrl_get_execution_logs, ctrl_get_vault_status 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 CTRL 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 175 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect CTRL?

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. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.

Does CTRL need an API key?

Yes. Every time we knock, CTRL answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.

How fast is CTRL?

It answers our handshake in 175 ms on average, which is faster than 74% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is CTRL open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at ctrl.build, which runs on its operator's own terms.
