ISHOB Knowledge Archive 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.

ISHOB Knowledge Archive — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can ISHOB Knowledge Archive do?
It exposes 29 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: contract_abi, crypto_prices, domain_intel, embed_text, extract_tables, extract_webpage and 23 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 →
What is ISHOB Knowledge Archive mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around specs, extract and site. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is ISHOB Knowledge Archive working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 241 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect ISHOB Knowledge Archive?
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 ISHOB Knowledge Archive need an API key?
No. ISHOB Knowledge Archive completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 29 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is ISHOB Knowledge Archive?
It answers our handshake in 241 ms on average, which is faster than 56% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
