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.

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] index.js:1

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 3

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

request
request_quote
Send a physical-world task to a human in the Czech Republic for screening and a fixed-price quote. Not an order and not binding: nothing is charged and nothing is made until you accept the quote. A human answers by e-mail within 24 hours. Returns quote_id, access_token, response_due_at and nda_url. Store the access_token — it is the only way to read the quote back. No authentication.
services
list_services
What this company will and will not do in the physical world, the refused categories, example prices, the payment rules and the key contract terms. Identical to https://handsforagents.com/services.json. No authentication.
status
get_status
Status of a quote request made with request_quote. Needs the quote_id and the access_token returned by that call; there is no other way in, and the record is kept for 90 days. The quote itself is sent by e-mail.

What can Hands for Agents do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_status, list_services, request_quote. 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 →

How do I connect Hands for Agents?
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 Hands for Agents need an API key?
No. Hands for Agents completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Hands for Agents?
It answers our handshake in 203 ms on average, which is faster than 69% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Hands for Agents?
The npm package handsforagents-mcp was installed 164 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Hands for Agents open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
