Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

        Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo(authUrl) { UseShellExecute = true });
      const child = spawn(process.argv0, [process.argv[1], ...args], {

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

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.

freeq
freeq_channels
List the public channels on this server with member counts and topics. Start here when you do not know a channel's exact name. Invite-only, key-protected and encrypted-only channels are never listed. No authentication required.
freeq_history
Read recent messages from a channel, newest first. Page backwards by passing the oldest msgid you have seen as `before`. Public channels need no authentication; restricted ones need a bearer from a member.
freeq_pins
The messages a channel's operators pinned — usually its rules, links and standing context. Cheaper than reading history when you want to know what a channel is for.
freeq_search
Full-text search within one channel. Use this instead of paging history when you know roughly what was said. Same access rules as freeq_history.
freeq_verify
Check who signed a message. `signed_by: "author"` is non-repudiable — the author's own key signed those bytes. `signed_by: "server"` proves relay only, NOT authorship. Call this before quoting anyone as having said something; do not present a server-relayed message as author-signed.

freeq — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can freeq do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: freeq_channels, freeq_history, freeq_pins, freeq_search, freeq_verify. 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 freeq 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 509 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect freeq?
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 freeq need an API key?
No. freeq 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 freeq?
It answers our handshake in 509 ms on average, which is faster than 31% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is freeq open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Rust, 84 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
