Gameshot missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 7

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

gameshot
gameshot_get_daily
Get Gameshot's edited daily overview, either the latest issue or a real YYYY-MM-DD date. Use this when the user asks for a daily report rather than a raw chronological list.
gameshot_get_hot_topics
Get the current Gameshot Top 10 with each event's one-based rank. Use this for 'what is hot now' and to discover valid story public IDs; use gameshot_get_latest for a chronological news list. Internal heat scores are not returned.
gameshot_get_latest
Get the latest Gameshot items for a 24-hour or 7-day briefing. Prefer selected mode unless the user explicitly asks for every public item. Do not use this for named-topic search or multi-source event context.
gameshot_get_monthly
Get Gameshot's edited monthly report: the month's most important events chosen from its dailies, grouped by section, with an overview. Use this for what happened this month or in a given month; omit month for the latest.
gameshot_get_story
Get the evolving timeline, latest development, digest, and related events for one public story. Only pass a public_id obtained from gameshot_get_hot_topics links.story; never invent or infer IDs.
gameshot_get_weekly
Get Gameshot's edited weekly report: the week's most important events chosen from its dailies, grouped by section, with an overview. Use this for what happened this week or in a given ISO week; omit week for the latest.
gameshot_search
Search Gameshot's latest 7 days by a 2–200 character topic, company, product, or person. It searches editorial picks first and automatically expands to all public items only when picks have no result.

Gameshot — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Gameshot do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: gameshot_get_daily, gameshot_get_hot_topics, gameshot_get_latest, gameshot_get_monthly, gameshot_get_story, gameshot_get_weekly and 1 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 Gameshot working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 653 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Gameshot still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Gameshot?
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 Gameshot need an API key?
No. Gameshot completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Gameshot?
It answers our handshake in 653 ms on average, which is faster than 15% 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.
