Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check SourceToMe every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 5

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

evidence

find_evidence_gaps

Identify corpus limitations and kinds of evidence needed for an unsupported question. No web search, acquisition, factual answer generation or personalized advice; suggestions are gaps, never retrieved evidence.

explain

explain_evidence

Recompute evidence selection for a question and explain Strong, Limited or Insufficient heuristic coverage. Edition duplicates cannot inflate independent support. This explains selection, not factual correctness.

inspect

inspect_source

Inspect one public source ID returned by search: work, edition, translator, public catalog, transcription fingerprint and complete indexed locator inventory. Cannot inspect private or arbitrary sources.

library

search_library

Find passages in the public reference library: Pride and Prejudice, Frankenstein 1818/1831 and The Art of War (Giles). Includes the four available sources with stable IDs for follow-up even when no passage matches; no personal library or internet search.

retrieve

retrieve_evidence

Return passages, edition, locator and provenance from the bounded public library. To request an exact indexed locator, provide one source ID and that full locator. Multiple IDs permit edition comparison; missing evidence is reported.

SourceToMe — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SourceToMe do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: explain_evidence, find_evidence_gaps, inspect_source, retrieve_evidence, search_library. 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 SourceToMe 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 195 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect SourceToMe?

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 SourceToMe need an API key?

No. SourceToMe completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is SourceToMe?

It answers our handshake in 195 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.
