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 apps/web/server.ts:63, packages/backend/src/admin/settings.ts:26, packages/backend/src/media/og.ts:63 и ещё 1

  const file = path.join(CLIENT_DIR, decoded);

Reads files and sends them to the network packages/backend/src/operations/backup.ts:131

    const list = (await readdir(dir)).filter((f) => f.startsWith(kind)).sort().reverse();

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.

aihot

aihot_get_codex_resets

Get Tibo's Codex usage-limit resets and reset credits as AIHOT tracks them: announcements still waiting to take effect, the last 7 days and the last landed one, each with its evidence. Keep the evidence distinctions in the answer: a confirmation post, a verified receipt and an estimate are different things.

aihot_get_daily

Get AIHOT'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.

aihot_get_hot_topics

Get the current AIHOT Top 10 with each event's one-based rank. Use this for 'what is hot now' and to discover valid story public IDs; use aihot_get_latest for a chronological news list. Internal heat scores are not returned.

aihot_get_latest

Get the latest AIHOT 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.

aihot_get_monthly

Get AIHOT'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.

aihot_get_story

Get the evolving timeline, latest development, AI digest, and related events for one public story. Only pass a public_id obtained from aihot_get_hot_topics links.story; never invent or infer IDs.

aihot_get_weekly

Get AIHOT'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.

aihot_search

Search AIHOT's latest 7 days by a 2–200 character topic, company, model, product, or person. It searches editorial picks first and automatically expands to all public items only when picks have no result.

AIHOT — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AIHOT do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: aihot_get_codex_resets, aihot_get_daily, aihot_get_hot_topics, aihot_get_latest, aihot_get_monthly, aihot_get_story 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 AIHOT working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 90 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1502 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect AIHOT?

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 AIHOT need an API key?

No. AIHOT 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 AIHOT?

It answers our handshake in 1502 ms on average, which is faster than 1% 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.

Is AIHOT open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 7 098 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
