If a tool disappears, we record the date.
brief
brief
Research brief with cited sources on any topic, written to order (not instant). Returns a job id and due time right away; the finished brief (title, summary, markdown body, source links, word count) is ready within 24 hours, usually the same day, at GET /v1/jobs/:id, which is free. About 500 words by default (50-1500 via max_words), with at least 3 cited public web sources. Price: $0.25 USDC per call (x402 on Base) or 1 prepaid pack credit. Failed calls aren't charged when you pay per call with x402: if the job errors, the USDC payment is never settled. With pack credits (X-Entitlement-Key), a call that fails gives its credit back.
brief_status
Free. Check a brief ordered with the brief or deep_brief tool. Delivered within 24h (usually same day): ~500 words by default (50–1500), at least 3 cited source links. Returns status, dueBy, and result {title, summary, body_markdown, sources, word_count} when done.
deep
deep_brief
In-depth research report with cited sources, for decisions that need more than a quick note. About 1,500 words (1,200-2,000) with an executive summary, key findings and analysis, at least 8 cited public sources, and an operator check before delivery. Returns a job id and due time right away; the report is ready within 24 hours at GET /v1/jobs/:id, which is free. Free sample: /samples/brief-x402-bazaar-discovery.md Price: $9.00 USDC per call (x402 on Base) or 1 prepaid pack credit. Failed calls aren't charged when you pay per call with x402: if the job errors, the USDC payment is never settled. With pack credits (X-Entitlement-Key), a call that fails gives its credit back.
json
json_shape
Turn messy text into structured JSON. Parses a JSON blob or key: value lines (up to 50,000 characters) into an object using the field names given in schema_hint, and returns notes on what matched. Rule-based parsing with no LLM, so results are fast and predictable. Useful for normalizing tool output, logs or form dumps before further processing. Not for free-form language understanding or writing. Price: $0.15 USDC per call (x402 on Base) or 1 prepaid pack credit. Failed calls aren't charged when you pay per call with x402: if the job errors, the USDC payment is never settled. With pack credits (X-Entitlement-Key), a call that fails gives its credit back.
page
page_extract
Extract the readable text of a web page as clean markdown. Fetches one public http(s) HTML page and returns its main content as markdown, plus title, meta description, byline and a short excerpt, with menus and page clutter removed. Useful for summarizing, quoting, or feeding a page to an LLM or RAG index without a browser. Not for logged-in, paywalled or non-HTML URLs (such as PDFs); private hosts are refused. Price: $0.05 USDC per call (x402 on Base) or 1 prepaid pack credit. Failed calls aren't charged when you pay per call with x402: if the job errors, the USDC payment is never settled. With pack credits (X-Entitlement-Key), a call that fails gives its credit back.
support
support_request
Open a support ticket with the people behind AUTOGROK Desk (payment or receipt, a failed job, credits, anything else). Send X-Entitlement-Key on the connection or include an email. Returns a ticket id like HELP-XXXX. No automatic reply is sent; a person answers, usually within 1 business day.
tip
tip_remaining
When you're done with a pack, tip everything left on it (unused credits at the price paid + pack balance) to AUTOGROK Desk. No new charge; it clears the pack to zero and can't be undone. Needs header X-Entitlement-Key. Call with confirm=false (or omit) to see the amount; then confirm=true with expect_usd set to that amount.
url
url_probe
Check if a URL is up. Sends a HEAD request (GET fallback that reads at most 8 KB) to a public http(s) URL and returns the HTTP status code, ok true/false, final URL after redirects, content type, content length and response time in ms. A cheap uptime, health or broken-link check before a heavier fetch. Public hosts only; private, local and logged-in URLs are refused. Price: $0.03 USDC per call (x402 on Base) or 1 prepaid pack credit. Failed calls aren't charged when you pay per call with x402: if the job errors, the USDC payment is never settled. With pack credits (X-Entitlement-Key), a call that fails gives its credit back.
watch
watch_once
Detect whether a web page has changed since the last check. Fetches a public URL, normalizes its main text and returns a sha256 hash, changed true/false against the previous_hash sent in (null on the first check), word count and fetch time. A one-shot change monitor for price, policy or docs pages. Each call is a single check; there are no webhooks or stored subscriptions. Price: $0.10 USDC per call (x402 on Base) or 1 prepaid pack credit. Failed calls aren't charged when you pay per call with x402: if the job errors, the USDC payment is never settled. With pack credits (X-Entitlement-Key), a call that fails gives its credit back.

AUTOGROK Desk — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can AUTOGROK Desk do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: brief, brief_status, deep_brief, json_shape, page_extract, support_request and 3 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 AUTOGROK Desk 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 539 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect AUTOGROK Desk?
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 AUTOGROK Desk need an API key?
No. AUTOGROK Desk completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is AUTOGROK Desk?
It answers our handshake in 539 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.
