Available tools 5

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

fetch
fetch
Read one page found with search (or any page of a site of this network): its title, its text and its address, for quoting and citing. Takes the id search returned. It reads pages of this network only; any other address is refused.
search
search
Search one network of websites (courses on any subject, a multilingual dictionary and encyclopedia, live disaster warnings, visa rules, everyday tools) for the pages that answer a query. Returns up to 8 results, each with an id to pass to fetch, a title and an address a person can open. Use it when the user asks about a subject one of these sites covers; it does not search the wider web.
sites
list_sites
Every site of the network with what it answers and its address.
suggest
suggest
From the first words of a subject (a prefix is enough), the pages of the network that answer it: pages being looked up right now first, then the site whose subject it is. Returns up to 8 { title, url, site, line }. With no words it returns what is being looked up right now.
trending
list_trending_pages
What people around the World are looking up right now (search trends, most-read subjects, the day's events) and the page of the network that answers each, newest first. Each page was opened and checked before it was listed. Use it when the user asks what is trending or what people are looking up now.

Himalayan Lighthouse — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Himalayan Lighthouse do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: fetch, list_sites, list_trending_pages, search, suggest. 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 Himalayan Lighthouse working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 82 of 82 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 3607 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Himalayan Lighthouse ever remove tools?
Yes. lit_now, list_lit_pages are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect Himalayan Lighthouse?
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 Himalayan Lighthouse need an API key?
No. Himalayan Lighthouse completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
