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.

Builds a file path from a variable packages/sources/src/testing.ts:16
  return readFileSync(path.join(fixturesDir, name), 'utf8');
Sends data to a third-party sink packages/sources/src/adapters/telegram-bot.ts:25
export const TELEGRAM_API_BASE = 'https://api.telegram.org';

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 8

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

changes
get_changes
What changed on Robinhood Chain today or this week, or for one project or contract? The change ledger without market readings: releases, ships, status moves, contract deploys and upgrades, verification, sources, unlocks — one event per change with its own time and precision, when HEY first knew, and its evidence. Newest first by first arrival; for today pass detectedSince; to sync, pass after=c1.0 and keep each cursor. A retraction means HEY no longer makes that claim. Facts, never causes.
contract
get_contract
Who made this Robinhood Chain contract, and is it a known project's? Project, creation, deployer (the only account named, with a count of other tracked projects' tokens it deployed), published source code and whose code it is (template, bytecode match or its own), Sourcify's answer, proxy and implementation history, interface changes, 7 days of calls per method (counts, names withheld; a selector's signature candidate — a guess, never a name). Address (chainId default 4663) or slug for all of a project's. An unread proxy is "not read", never "not a proxy". Not a safety verdict.
evidence
get_evidence
What backs this claim? Open the record a HEY answer cited by its typed id — ship:, signal:, abi:, impl:, lock:, source:, claim:, state:, narrative:, method:, sourcechange:, security:, v4hook:, v4pool:, ponsgrad: — as a receipt: what it claims, its source URL, when it happened at what precision, when HEY knew, how it is backed. A withdrawn record says so.
explain
explain_fact
Why does HEY say a project is Shipping, Dormant or Still Building, or show a figure? The value, FACT, DERIVED or UNKNOWN, the rule and version, the winning source, the inputs, the lineage and the evidence ids. Omit fact to list what can be explained; source.counted takes a source id. build.change explains one change (event=<ledger id>, or the latest): its stage, who reported it, any exact release↔deployment link, what HEY does not know.
hook
get_v4_hook
Who built this Robinhood Chain Uniswap v4 hook? The project HEY ties it to and why (named only while listed; never a creator account), declared callbacks (not a safety verdict), source, hooklist entry, pools by week and unknowns.
project
get_project_timeline
What did this project ship, and when? Builds, releases, code, contract deploys, upgrades and interface changes, token verification, locks and unlocks, each with how precisely HEY knows its time. Lenses: build (default), code, onchain, locks. Paged with the before cursor.
projects
find_projects
Which Robinhood Chain project is this name, $TICKER or 0x contract? Identity only (name, ticker, contract, slug), at most eight rows; give the slug to research_answer. A full 0x address answers whether anyone is building that contract: activity status, ship records in 30 days, the last ship with its source, whether the project names it.
research
research_answer
Is this Robinhood Chain project still being built, what did it ship, what changed, is this contract its own? One cited answer. capability: research_project or builder_status (q: a name or $TICKER, or address, or project: a slug; a shared name lists candidates); what_changed (project or chain, 1–30 days); verify_project (address, project?); compare_builders (2–4, no winner); unknowns (every coverage state). Claims FACT/DERIVED/UNKNOWN with evidence ids; not_found is a status, not isError. Not price advice or a safety verdict.

HEY Research Lab — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can HEY Research Lab do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: explain_fact, find_projects, get_changes, get_contract, get_evidence, get_project_timeline and 2 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 HEY Research Lab working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 182 of 182 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 714 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did HEY Research Lab ever remove tools?
Yes. compare_projects, get_project_coverage, lookup_token, ask_hey and 5 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect HEY Research Lab?
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 HEY Research Lab need an API key?
No. HEY Research Lab completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is HEY Research Lab?
It answers our handshake in 714 ms on average, which is faster than 12% 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.
How many people use HEY Research Lab?
The npm package @hey-research-lab/mcp was installed 75 times in the last week. Week over week that is -11%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is HEY Research Lab open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at heyresearch.xyz, which runs on its operator's own terms.
