Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

Available tools 21

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

artist

get_artist_collector_tdh

Get one artist-specific collector TDH register by AB5D artist slug. Collector rows are paginated because large Raster-indexed oeuvres can contain thousands of current addresses.

get_artist_otdh

Get one artist's oTDH rank, score, collector breadth, raw collector-days, project count, and snapshot metadata by AB5D artist slug.

list_artist_collector_tdh

List all 308 artist-specific collector TDH dashboard records, including each metric label, route, data URL and verified or pending source status.

list_artist_otdh

List the ranked oTDH records for all 308 AB[500] artists, or a limited leading subset. oTDH (out of 1,000) is a price-independent signal of how much of each work's life its current collector has held it, neutral to edition size, project count and release date.

abx

get_abx_service_info

Read the documented ABX public service descriptor. Does not log in, register projects, sign, deploy or create credentials.

acquisition

find_acquisition_opportunities

Rank indexed AB[500] asks by ETH per added percentage point of edition ownership. Excludes linked owner wallets and stops before a 50% asking-price jump. Prices are unverified, gas excluded; each row is a budget alternative, not a basket.

artists

search_artists

Search AB[500] artist dossiers by name or keyword; returns matching artists with their slugs. Use before get_dossier when you don't know the exact slug.

artwork

get_artwork

Look up a minted edition through the existing artwork API. Returns render and indexed public owner with timestamp, not full transfer history.

bounty

get_bounty

Get one AB5D bounty task by identifier, including its current status and operational routes. Do not begin work unless the returned status is open.

collection

get_collection_holdings

Read AB5D institutional holdings and public credit lines from the existing cache. Reports pending data honestly.

compare

compare_project_prices

Compare current indexed ETH/WETH lowest asking prices for up to ten chosen projects. Lowest ask is an affordability comparison, not intrinsic value or a return forecast. No trading.

discover

discover_apps

Find curated AB5D capabilities and apps listed on abx.io. Returns browser/app handoffs, not installation or execution.

donor

get_donor_credits

Find published accession and donor credit records. Absence is unknown, never an inferred donor.

dossier

get_dossier

Get one artist's full structured biography by slug: subtitle, essay prose (markdown), identity (born/based/practice), works, images, and the verified bibliography with source URLs. Prose is CC0.

dossiers

list_dossiers

List every published AB[500] artist dossier (name, slug, subtitle, editions, tier, updated date). Use it to see which artists have a published biography.

open

list_open_bounties

List every AB5D bounty that is currently open for claim, including reward, eligibility, claim route, submission route, protocol, and acceptance command. Only returned tasks are current offers.

otdh

get_otdh_methodology

Get the definition, formulas, full-universe coverage, limitations, discussion URL, and snapshot metadata for AB5D's artist-level Oeuvre Total Days Held metric.

prepare

prepare_artwork_display

Prepare a verified artwork or series display URL and existing mobile Cast workflow. Does not connect to a TV or start playback.

project

get_project

Read one canonical project with links to its published essay, artist dossiers and artwork license.

projects

search_projects

Find AB[500] artworks and series by title or artist. Returns canonical links and native app handoffs.

public

search_public_collectors

Search the already-published collector register. No private account access or inferred identity; wallet arrays are omitted.

AB[500] research and bounties — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AB[500] research and bounties do?

It exposes 21 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_project_prices, discover_apps, find_acquisition_opportunities, get_abx_service_info, get_artist_collector_tdh, get_artist_otdh and 15 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 AB[500] research and bounties 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 206 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is AB[500] research and bounties still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect AB[500] research and bounties?

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 AB[500] research and bounties need an API key?

No. AB[500] research and bounties completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 21 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is AB[500] research and bounties?

It answers our handshake in 206 ms on average, which is faster than 65% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
