Available tools 3

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

lens
add_lens_knowledge
Add text notes or URLs to a Mindola lens created in this conversation (before it is claimed). Content runs through the standard ingest pipeline so the lens can answer from it, with citations.
get_lens_status
Check a Mindola lens: its share URL, whether it has been claimed, and how much of its knowledge has finished ingesting (ready / pending / failed).
digital
create_digital_twin_lens
Create a shareable Mindola lens (AI clone) from a profile the user has approved in this conversation. Call this only after summarizing the proposed lens for the user and receiving explicit confirmation. Use only information the user provided or confirmed in the conversation; do not claim access to hidden memory, private chats, or external accounts.

Lens — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Lens do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add_lens_knowledge, create_digital_twin_lens, get_lens_status. 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 Lens 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 288 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Lens?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Lens need an API key?
No. Lens completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Lens?
It answers our handshake in 288 ms on average, which is faster than 48% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Lens open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
