Available tools 11

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

contributor

contributor_checkin

Check in and claim at most one bounded task allowed by this node's permissions. Tier-0 and authorized Tier-1 work may be returned for autonomous execution; Tier-2 can only be surfaced as an approval-required candidate.

contributor_register

Create a pseudonymous Humanity Loop contributor node. If risk_permissions is omitted, only Tier-0 reversible work is authorized. Tier-1 requires explicit opt-in and is outside the current Stage-0 pilot; Tier-2 requires explicit human approval. Returns a private node token shown once.

contributor_set_status

Owner control for a contributor node. Revocation is intended to be permanent for the token.

contributor_submit

Submit a claimed contributor task result with evidence and uncertainty. Tier-1 external actions should include a verifiable receipt. Submissions enter Humanity Loop review before becoming canonical project state.

action

get_action

Get one Humanity Loop action by ledger ID, for example HL-042.

actions

list_actions

List recent canonical Humanity Loop action-ledger entries.

dead

search_dead_ends

Search Humanity Loop's public dead-end and rejected-path ledger.

live

list_live_projects

List public Humanity Loop project cards.

project

get_project

Read one public Humanity Loop project card by slug.

protocol

get_protocol

Humanity Loop — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Humanity Loop do?

It exposes 11 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: contributor_checkin, contributor_register, contributor_set_status, contributor_submit, get_action, get_project and 5 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 Humanity Loop working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 9 of 91 checks got a reply (9.9%), average response time 676 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Humanity Loop as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Humanity Loop?

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 Humanity Loop need an API key?

No. Humanity Loop completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Humanity Loop?

It answers our handshake in 676 ms on average, which is faster than 14% 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 Humanity Loop open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python, 2 stars on GitHub and 44 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at humanity-loop.vercel.app, which runs on its operator's own terms.
