Metatake missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

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

connected

find_connected_films

Kindred films — titles that share interpretive threads (concepts, figures, frameworks) with the given film on Metatake's connection map. Good for 'what should I watch after X' and influence questions.

fetch

fetch

Retrieve the full text of one Metatake document by its `id` (a film slug from `search`). Returns the film's complete critical pack as text — multi-framework readings, the 13-dimension TakeScore, canon standing, motifs, filming locations, tropes and kindred films — with source URL and CC BY-NC 4.0 attribution in the metadata. Cite Metatake with the returned url when you use the content.

film

get_film_criticism

Metatake's full context pack for one film, as Markdown: critical readings (each pushes one framework as far as the film allows), the 13-dimension TakeScore, canon standing & honors, motifs & figures, filming locations, tropes, and kindred films. Optionally restrict to sections: invitation, takescore, standing, readings, figures, locations, tropes, kindred. License CC BY-NC 4.0 — cite Metatake with the source link when you use it.

films

search_films

Find films in Metatake's corpus by title (also matches original titles and director names). Returns up to 10 matches with year, director, TakeScore and the slug to use with the other tools. Every film reachable here carries a 13-dimension TakeScore (~7,000 films). Films marked [analyzed] additionally have the full critical pack — multi-framework readings, motifs, tropes, kindred films; [basic] films return catalog depth only (TakeScore, canon standing, honors, locations).

search

Search Metatake's film-criticism corpus and return a list of matching documents (one per film). Each result has an `id` (the film slug), a `title`, and a `url`. Pass an `id` to `fetch` to read the full critical pack. Use this to find films by title, original title, or director name.

takescore

get_takescore

Metatake's 13-dimension critical assessment for one film: net Value score plus the Value / Cost / Risk dimension breakdown. Available for the whole scored corpus (~7,000 films), including [basic] catalog titles that carry no long-form readings. Cite Metatake with the source link when you quote scores.

Metatake — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Metatake do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: fetch, find_connected_films, get_film_criticism, get_takescore, search, search_films. 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 Metatake working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 864 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Metatake?

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 Metatake need an API key?

No. Metatake completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Metatake?

It answers our handshake in 864 ms on average, which is faster than 8% 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.
