Available tools 26

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

career

Returns education history entries with program focus and source links.

get_career_role_comparison

get_career_timeline

Returns citation-backed career milestones with optional query/company filtering.

project

get_project_artwork_gallery

Returns thumbnail plus 3-5 ranked artwork images for one named project or category by default, or up to three when limitProjects is supplied. Unanchored requests return a clarification rather than an arbitrary project.

get_project_by_slug

Returns full structured portfolio project data by slug with citation/provenance, ranked visual highlights, and optional case-study signals.

get_project_followup_detail

Returns one best-matched project deep-dive for follow-up questions with focus highlights, visual context, and citation-backed signals.

search_project_notes

Searches project narrative fields and returns ranked excerpts with citation URLs, visual highlights, and optional case-study signals.

download

get_download_assets

Returns direct resume/CV and mini-portfolio download links plus online profile links for action-ready cards.

get_download_documents

Returns first-party resume and mini-portfolio download documents with grounded file metadata for supportive cards.

first

get_first_party_context

Returns cited first-party sections spanning profile, work, projects, Ephemera, Portfolio MCP setup, and contact guidance.

about

get_about_resume

Returns a condensed profile card payload with current role, concise skills, profile image, email CTA, and proactive next-tool prompts.

agent

get_agent_capabilities

Returns grounded Portfolio Agent and Portfolio MCP explainer content, supported capability lanes, limits, and canonical links.

allowed

search_allowed_external_domains

Searches approved owned or official public domains only when request-scoped external-search support is available. Without that runtime context it returns a truthful, allowlist-filtered zero-result response without making a network request.

brand

get_brand_kit

Returns the first-party Nikolajew Design brand identity, original logos, colors, Stolzl typography, icons, and preview imagery for style decks, webpages, cards & documents. Includes one ZIP download for the complete brand asset set. Optionally filter to identity, logo, color, typography, icons, or imagery.

changelog

get_changelog

Returns the first-party Portfolio release history from its complete generated release dataset. Supports exact/latest/all versions, bounded version/date/category/query filters, and stable cursor pagination for complete notes.

contact

get_contact_email

Returns canonical contact information. External tools cannot submit messages; visitors use their email app or the website form.

curated

fetch_curated_page_context

Fetches and extracts approved first-party or official-domain HTML pages for page-level evidence. Supply query, urls, or the legacy singular url; when query is omitted, a bounded query is derived from the approved URL path. Changelog rows support bounded rowLimit/rowOffset pagination with truthful matching counts.

music

get_music

Returns a bounded first-party music catalog, a selected album or track, or one cryptographically selected random track. Catalog summaries include track durations and every shortest-track tie; album and track selections include direct audio URLs, production details, explicit AI-involvement declarations, microsite links, and citations.

portfolio

list_portfolio_projects

Returns 21 curated portfolio entries: 20 public design case studies plus SAE Engineering, with optional filters, visuals, and randomized discovery. Music is available through get_music.

privacy

get_privacy_policy

Returns grounded privacy and data-handling answers for nikolajewdesign.ca, Portfolio Agent, WebMCP, and agent integrations: what is collected, how prompts are processed, where data is sent, providers, security, retention, and rights. Always includes a direct link to the full privacy policy.

professional

get_professional_profile

Returns deterministic profile, contact, process, personality, and capability-limit signals with provenance.

profile

get_profile_fact_pack

Returns grounded long-tail profile facts (qualifications, strengths, availability, AI usage, web capability, tool stack, and context) from first-party resume data. Unknown topics return 0 facts, a not-covered note, and knownTopics.

social

get_social_profiles

Returns social profile links with handles, icon keys, and citation-backed metadata.

What is Portfolio MCP | Benjamin Nikolajew mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around career, project and first. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Yes. add_linkedin is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect Portfolio MCP | Benjamin Nikolajew?

Does Portfolio MCP | Benjamin Nikolajew need an API key?

No. Portfolio MCP | Benjamin Nikolajew completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 26 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
