hilo

hilo_find_relevant_work

Given a description of what the user needs (e.g. 'a 3D configurator for furniture', 'a live 3D map for a winery', 'interactive training for engineers'), returns the most relevant Hilo Studio services, case studies, Lab experiments and articles, with URLs.

hilo_get_blog_post

Full text of one blog article, with its FAQ.

hilo_get_case_study

Full case study of one project: the challenge, the idea, how it was built (stack, 3D models) and key facts.

hilo_get_lab_experiment

Full write-up of one Lab experiment: what it is, how to use the demo and what it explores.

hilo_get_pricing

Hilo Studio's packages with starting prices (EUR, VAT not included), what each includes and typical timeline, plus the starting price for custom work.

hilo_get_service

Full detail of one service: what it is, how it is done, price, related case studies and FAQ.

hilo_list_blog_posts

Articles from Hilo Studio's blog (3D web costs, WebGL, configurators, AR, interactive training…), newest first.

hilo_list_lab_experiments

Hilo Studio's Lab: experiments the studio builds to push interactive 3D (WebGL, shaders, AR, interactive courses…), each with a live demo you can open.

hilo_list_projects

Portfolio of Hilo Studio: each project with sector, type, services involved, live URL and case-study URL.

hilo_list_services

All services Hilo Studio offers, with a short summary, starting price and URL. Use hilo_get_service for the full detail of one.

hilo_recommend

Hilo Studio's guided contact, in the chat: the same three one-tap questions the website asks (goal, what's holding them back, timing). Call it with whatever the user has answered so far (all optional). It returns the next question with its options or, once all are answered, what fits, its starting price, when they'd have it and a related case. Ask ONE question at a time with its options, in the user's language; never answer for the user. Then you may ask whether the price fits (price_fit). No personal data needed.

hilo_request_quote

Sends a project enquiry to Hilo Studio on behalf of the user (it reaches the team by email; they reply within 24 h and the user gets a confirmation email). ONLY call this after the user has explicitly confirmed they want to contact the studio and has given their name and email. Never invent contact details.

hilo_studio_overview

Who Hilo Studio is: what it does, where it is, languages, how it works, awards and how to contact it. Call this first for general questions.

Hilo Studio — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Hilo Studio do?

It exposes 13 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: hilo_find_relevant_work, hilo_get_blog_post, hilo_get_case_study, hilo_get_lab_experiment, hilo_get_pricing, hilo_get_service and 7 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 Hilo Studio working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 2 of 91 checks got a reply (2.2%), average response time 367 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Hilo Studio as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Hilo Studio?

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 Hilo Studio need an API key?

No. Hilo Studio completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 13 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Hilo Studio?

It answers our handshake in 367 ms on average, which is faster than 36% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
