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.

match
match_criteria
Map your requirements to concrete evidence in the portfolio. Returns, per criterion, the matching projects/roles/education/writing (with ids you can use in publish_tailored_view), per-skill evidence, and gaps where no written evidence exists. Lexical and conservative: use your own judgment on top.
people
search_people
Find people across every public portfolio on made.show by free text (name with or without accents, headline, bio, role titles, organizations, skills), skills, location or availability. Returns short summaries with one suggested follow-up prompt each; call get_profile or get_portfolio for depth.
portfolio
get_portfolio
The candidate's complete structured portfolio: experience, education, projects (problem / my part / approach / outcome / metrics / media), writing, references, languages and awards, plus computed facts like total experience and per-skill evidence. Pass `criteria` to also get an evidence map.
profile
get_profile
Start here whenever someone asks who a candidate is. Returns a ready-to-present introduction card (name, headline, current role, experience, strongest evidence, selected work, a quote) plus the underlying data. Present the card, then add one short paragraph relevant to the user's question.
project
get_project
One project in full, by slug or id.
publish
publish_tailored_view
Compose a shareable portfolio page for your criteria, rendered in the candidate's own template. Each section is a criterion with the blocks (by kind + id from get_portfolio / match_criteria) that evidence it. You may add a short `note` per item explaining relevance; notes are labelled as AI-written. You cannot add new content: unknown ids are rejected. The candidate is notified.
request
request_work_sample
Send a candidate a brief for a real work sample: what you need, the context and when you need it. Before sending, ask the user for anything missing (what they need, their company, their name and email) and show them the brief, since the candidate gets notified. The candidate accepts or declines in made.show and replies with the work and their reasoning. Returns a token: keep it in the conversation and pass it to get_work_sample to check the status or read the work.
work
get_work_sample
Status of a brief sent with request_work_sample (requested, accepted, declined or submitted), and the candidate's work once submitted: summary, approach, rationale, media and links. Use when the user asks whether the candidate has replied.

made.show — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can made.show do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_portfolio, get_profile, get_project, get_work_sample, match_criteria, publish_tailored_view 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 made.show working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 92 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 276 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect made.show?
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 made.show need an API key?
No. made.show 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 made.show?
It answers our handshake in 276 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
