Available tools 2

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

message

check_message

Paste or forward a suspicious message. Hunch reads only the words you give it, using the same engine as the Hunch extension and site (running on our server), and tells you in plain language what stands out and the smallest next step you can take. It never tells you a message is trustworthy and never calls anyone a scammer. Your text is analyzed, not stored.

official

check_official_channel

Ask whether a phone number, domain, email, or app is a channel an organization publishes on its own site. Hunch answers only from a public-source list (facts taken from each organization's own pages, with a source link and date, not confirmed to Hunch): anything not on it is reported as 'not listed', never as 'unofficial'. Absence is never evidence against a channel.

Hunch — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Hunch do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_message, check_official_channel. 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 Hunch 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 113 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Hunch?

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 Hunch need an API key?

No. Hunch completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Hunch?

It answers our handshake in 113 ms on average, which is faster than 90% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
