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.

quote

quote_real_world_action

Get a free price to ARRANGE something at a specific US local business: book an appointment, hold an item, request a formal quote, or cancel a prior booking. This creates a real obligation, so it needs explicit authorization, the customer's name and callback number, and a maximum price the caller may agree to. The caller never negotiates, never pays, and never substitutes something different. Purchase the returned quote with purchase_quote.

quote_real_world_answer

Get a free, immutable price quote for verifying a current fact about a US local business (stock, price, availability, capability, policy, wait time). Returns quote_id, price in integer minor units, scope, expected_completion_seconds and expires_at. Use purchase_quote to buy it.

verification

get_verification_result

Read-only. The answer itself: typed facts, evidence excerpts, timestamps, confidence scores, freshness, and an explicit list of what could not be verified. Free, and safe to call repeatedly. If the job is not final yet the response is provisional (http_status 202) - poll until 200, or watch get_verification_status for a terminal state first. A completed job answers every required criterion; a partial one answers some and says so in limitations.

get_verification_status

Read-only progress check on a job bought with purchase_quote. Free, changes nothing, and safe to call repeatedly. Returns the state plus a progress object (businesses discovered, call attempts made). States are queued, discovering, calling or extracting while the job is still running, and completed, partial, failed, timed_out or canceled once it is final. Poll every 15-30 seconds; live calls take minutes. Use this to decide WHEN to read the answer; use get_verification_result to read the answer itself. If you only intend to poll until the job is done, get_verification_result can be polled directly instead - it returns a provisional 202 until the job is final.

purchase

purchase_quote

The single purchase path: pays for a quote from EITHER quote_real_world_answer or quote_real_world_action and starts the job. There is no separate action-purchase tool. Returns job_id and job_token (keep it; it is shown once), then poll get_verification_status and read get_verification_result. If this server has no payment capability, returns the x402 payment requirements (HTTP 402 body) so you can pay with your own payment tool and retry the POST /v1/jobs request with a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header.

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 Realask - verified answers from the physical world mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around quote and verification. 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 Realask - verified answers from the physical world 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 594 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Realask - verified answers from the physical world ever remove tools?

Yes. purchase_real_world_answer is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

Is Realask - verified answers from the physical world still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect Realask - verified answers from the physical world?

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 Realask - verified answers from the physical world need an API key?

No. Realask - verified answers from the physical world 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.

How fast is Realask - verified answers from the physical world?

It answers our handshake in 594 ms on average, which is faster than 22% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
