Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check eightytwenty every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

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.

deck

find_deck_flows

Use after the deck's end belief and style are settled, to inform the storyline in the text plan (see get_playbook). Searches the library's deck flows (how strong decks order their sections) by what the whole deck must achieve, before find_references. Returns up to 3 summaries (deck id, arc, length, industry, style, section sequence, why the flow works, score). Call get_reference with a deck id for its steps and their slide ids.

images

find_images

Use while building an approved slide to source a logo, icon or photo for an image slot (see get_playbook). Searches public-domain logo SVGs (Wikimedia Commons, Simple Icons), permissive icon SVGs (Iconify) and CC0, public-domain and CC BY photos (Openverse). Returns up to k results, each with its title, licence and either the SVG text or the photo's download and page links, plus a credit line only when the licence requires one; photo thumbnails follow as images.

playbook

get_playbook

The 80-20 slide-design methodology for case competition decks. Call it before planning a deck. With no stage it returns the index of stages and the workflow; pass a stage for one chapter.

reference

get_reference

One library slide: its labels (purpose, why it works, archetype, insight device, impact), its component layout (v3), its design DNA (the 40 largest region boxes with colour and type roles, text structure) and its mockup image. Use an id from find_references. Build your own slide from it; never copy it. A deck id from find_deck_flows returns that deck's flow instead: its steps in order, each with a slide id and whether that slide is in the library (available).

references

find_references

Use after the slide's claim is settled, to inform the layout options in the text plan (see get_playbook). Searches the curated library of slide design DNA by what a slide must do. Returns up to k short summaries (id, slide type, score, purpose, why it works, the layout's component kinds, impact device if any, style, when to use it), at most one per deck; an impact filter returns few results. Call get_reference with an id for the full layout. Reference, never copy.

eightytwenty — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can eightytwenty do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_deck_flows, find_images, find_references, get_playbook, get_reference. 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 eightytwenty working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 27 of 27 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 236 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect eightytwenty?

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 eightytwenty need an API key?

No. eightytwenty 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 eightytwenty?

It answers our handshake in 236 ms on average, which is faster than 61% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is eightytwenty open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 4 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.eightytwenty.tech, which runs on its operator's own terms.
