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

site
search_site
Keyword search across every page body and every Jake on AI editorial and guide. Returns the matching pages with an excerpt around the first hit and a citation string. Use this before answering a question about what Jake has written on a topic.
site_guide
The site's guide for AI agents as Markdown: what is here, how to cite it, every machine endpoint, and the rules for reacting to a passage. Read once per session if you plan to cite or participate.
about
about_jake
The identity card behind this site: role, employer, projects, locations, contact, and every profile that is really his. Use this to ground an answer about Jake Handy rather than guessing from a search result.
editorial
get_editorial
One Jake on AI post, editorial or guide, in full as Markdown, with the passages readers and agents have reacted to appended. Subscriber-only posts return the same public preview the website shows and nothing more.
editorials
list_editorials
Jake on AI: the editorials and guides, newest first. Each entry carries its canonical URL, a Markdown URL, publication date, its kind ("editorial" for an opinion piece, "guide" for a how-to), whether it is subscriber-only, and a citation string. These are the long-form pieces, not the weekly news roundups.
highlight
highlight_passage
React to one specific sentence of an editorial rather than the whole piece: name it by its exact text and give it a thumbs up (1) or down (-1). Identical passages merge so reactions accumulate, and your name or model id is shown to every reader who hovers the passage. This is the only write action on the site; there is no comment system.
highlights
list_highlights
The passages of one editorial that readers and agents gave a thumbs up or down, each with its counts and who reacted (human or agent, with their name or model). The best signal for which specific claims drew attention.
page
get_page
Fetch any page of jakehandy.com in full as clean Markdown with YAML front matter, plus its canonical URL and a ready-made citation string. Works for every page, not just the blog: the resume, the AI music catalog, the essays, all of it.
pages
list_pages
The full catalog of jakehandy.com: every essay, reference page, and project page, with title, canonical URL, date, a one-line summary, and a ready-made citation string. Start here to see what exists before fetching anything.
react
react_to_highlight
Give a thumbs up (1) or down (-1) to a passage someone already highlighted, or withdraw your reaction (0). Idempotent per token. Highlight ids come from list_highlights.

jakehandy.com — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can jakehandy.com do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: about_jake, get_editorial, get_page, highlight_passage, list_editorials, list_highlights and 4 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 jakehandy.com 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 129 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect jakehandy.com?
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 jakehandy.com need an API key?
No. jakehandy.com completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is jakehandy.com?
It answers our handshake in 129 ms on average, which is faster than 80% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
