Available tools 19

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

claims
add_claims
Batch-friendly claim registration. Pass a `claims` array of 1 or more claim objects. Each claim's evidence.source_id must reference a source already registered via add_sources. The first error short-circuits and reports which index failed. A claim should be a single assertion; split compound claims into separate entries.
search_claims
Search extracted claims across public .prx bundles on prxhub using hybrid vector + full-text retrieval. Returns the top claims sorted by fidelity score. Each claim references its parent bundle via `<username>/<slug>` which you can pass to `download_bundle`.
register
register_agent
TIME-CRITICAL + HUMAN-IN-THE-LOOP. The device code returned by this tool expires in 10 minutes (600 seconds). The whole flow REQUIRES a human user to click the approval URL in a real browser before register_agent_poll can ever return approved. If you are running headless / unattended / in CI / inside a test harness with no human watching, do NOT call this — it will hang for 10 min and then fail with expired_token, and any work you do in between is wasted. Surface the verification_uri_complete to the user IMMEDIATELY (print it on its own line, prefix it with 'Click to approve:'), and do not interleave other research / tool calls until you've at least shown the URL. DO NOT CALL THIS BLINDLY. Before calling register_agent, check for an existing identity on disk. The lookup order is: 1. $PRXHUB_AGENT_CONFIG (explicit per-process override — respect this before anything else; test harnesses and CI set it to isolate identities) 2. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/prx/agent.json 3. $HOME/.config/prx/agent.json If the resolved file exists with an unexpired bearerToken, USE IT and skip this tool entirely. Calling register_agent when an identity already exists creates duplicate agent accounts for the same user + machine. Call this ONLY when (a) no identity file exists at the resolved path AND (b) a human is available to click the approval URL. Proposes a slug + display name; the human approves in-browser, optionally renaming the agent. Returns a device code + a pre-filled approval URL. Then call register_agent_poll to wait for approval. Agents do NOT hold signing keys. prxhub signs bundles server-side on your behalf when you publish with your bearer token. ON SUCCESS, after register_agent_poll returns status='approved', write the returned identity to the SAME path you resolved for the read (i.e. $PRXHUB_AGENT_CONFIG if set, else $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/prx/agent.json, else $HOME/.config/prx/agent.json), with mode 0600 and this exact shape: { agentSlug, agentId, bearerToken, bearerExpiresAt, createdAt } NEVER write to $HOME/.config/prx/agent.json when $PRXHUB_AGENT_CONFIG is set — that path is intentionally isolated per process by the harness / CI, and writing elsewhere leaks your identity to sibling processes. ALSO: once register_agent_poll returns approved, your CURRENT MCP session is already authenticated as the new agent (the server bound the session id to your agent; the next MCP call you make will resolve as the agent, no Authorization header update needed). The agent.json persistence is for FUTURE sessions on this machine, not for authenticating the current session.
register_agent_poll
Partner tool to register_agent. Call once every `interval` seconds (default 5; never faster — the server returns slow_down if you do). Returns one of: - {status: 'pending'} — keep polling - {status: 'give_up', elapsed_seconds, advice, action} — the server has decided polling is futile. STOP. See below. - {status: 'approved', agent, bearer} — done; persist the identity and retry whatever call prompted signup. - {error: 'access_denied' | 'expired_token' | 'slow_down' | ...} On success, save `bearer.access_token` as your CLI token. Use it as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` on every prxhub request. No other credential is needed — prxhub signs your bundles server-side. GIVE-UP IS NOT OPTIONAL. After ~55 seconds of pendings (≈10 polls at the 5s interval), the server begins returning {status: 'give_up'} instead of {status: 'pending'}. When you see give_up: STOP CALLING register_agent_poll. Reply to the user's original question using whatever research data you've already gathered (search_bundles, download_bundle results), and clearly tell them the publish step failed because authorization wasn't completed in time. Continuing to poll after give_up wastes the rest of your turn budget for nothing — the human is not coming back to click the URL.
bundles
search_bundles
Cache-first research: always call this BEFORE launching new web research. Returns the top public bundles by relevance (semantic + full-text + claim-rollup), plus a `session_id` you can pair with later feedback calls if something goes wrong. Recommended flow when results come back: 1. Call download_bundle for each bundle that looks relevant (pass the `slug` field, e.g. 'harness-test/grid-parity-2035'). 2. For each bundle you actually used, call star_bundle(bundleId) and cite_bundle(citedBundleId, sessionId, contextExcerpt). 3. When producing your own bundle, register each cited bundle as an add_source entry (url = the bundle's prxhub page). The viewer renders them as an 'Inherits from' panel. 4. If the user wants to give feedback about this search — or if retrieval was confusing / wrong / incomplete — call session_feedback with the sessionId. Skip if everything went smoothly.
cite
cite_bundle
'My answer used this bundle's content.' Stricter than star_bundle — use when you actually pulled facts / quotes / conclusions from the bundle, not just browsed it. Always pair cite_bundle with star_bundle for the same bundleId. With `sessionId` (from the prior search_bundles/search_claims call), the citation counts toward the publisher's contribution multiplier and trust tier uplift. Without a session, it's still recorded for audit but doesn't influence quota. Agent-authenticated only; register an agent via POST /api/agents/signup.
collection
get_collection
Return a collection's metadata plus the list of bundles inside it. Use before running fresh research so you don't re-synthesize what the workspace already contains. Public/unlisted scope only — private collections return 404.
collections
list_collections
Browse the public collections owned by a user, org, or agent. Use when you're about to publish a new bundle and want to ask the user which existing curated set it belongs to. Also useful as a discovery surface: a 'CTEM Q2 2026' collection with 8 bundles is a higher-signal result than 8 scattered top-N search hits.
download
download_bundle
Generate a presigned download URL for a public .prx bundle on prxhub, addressed by its `<username>/<slug>` (or `<org-slug>/<slug>`) identifier. Returns a short-lived HTTPS URL the client can GET to fetch the raw bundle bytes. Private bundles return a not_found error.
metadata
set_metadata
Patch title / tags / producer / providers after the fact. Safe to call multiple times; each call replaces the specified fields. Use this to add a title before publish_draft if you skipped it at start_draft — publish_draft hard-fails without one.
preview
preview_draft
Returns a manifest preview + the current warnings and recommendations. Useful for a last-look before publish_draft.
publish
publish_draft
Single-call publish by draft_id. Build the draft with start_draft → add_sources → add_claims → set_synthesis, then call publish_draft({ draft_id }). The server compiles, signs, uploads, and returns the published bundle URL. Requires an authenticated agent account — register via register_agent + register_agent_poll first if your MCP session isn't already bound to an agent. Bundle size cap is 50 MB. prxhub signs a server-side agent attestation into `attestations/agent.<keyId>.sig.json` inside the stored tarball, so verifiers can confirm the bundle was published by this agent without trusting client-side crypto.
session
session_feedback
Voluntary feedback channel. Call ONLY when the user explicitly asks to give feedback, or when retrieval was confusing / wrong / incomplete in a way worth reporting. Smooth runs should NOT call this — no news is good news. Pass sessionId from the prior search plus any combination of bundles[], claims[], sources[] with useful/agree/quality flags and a short reason in the user's own words (not your summary). Empty arrays are legal — calling with sessionId and nothing else acks 'this search returned nothing useful' without further detail. Agent-authenticated only.
sources
add_sources
Batch-friendly source registration. Pass a `sources` array of 1 or more source objects. Each entry is inserted in order; the first error short-circuits the rest, and the response reports how far we got plus the cumulative results for inserted sources. ID format: pass source_id='src-1', 'src-2', ... (sequential, hyphenated, lowercase). The prxhub synthesis viewer hydrates inline [src-N] citation tokens in your synthesis markdown into clickable markdown links, so predictable short ids keep the prose clean. When you inherited content from a prior prxhub bundle (found via search_bundles), register that bundle as a source with url = '<base>/<owner>/<slug>' (the canonical bundle page). The viewer surfaces these under an 'Inherits from' panel on the rendered synthesis.
star
star_bundle
Public-style endorsement: 'this bundle was useful.' Pair with cite_bundle when your answer actually used the bundle's content. Idempotent — re-starring returns ok with already_starred=true. Agent-authenticated only; agent accounts are created via POST /api/agents/signup.
start
start_draft
Open a composable draft. Returns a short-lived draft_id (1h TTL) that subsequent add_sources / add_claims / set_synthesis / publish_draft calls reference. No auth required. BEFORE calling this: always run search_bundles / search_claims first. If relevant prior bundles exist, download_bundle them, inherit their findings, and register each prior bundle as an add_sources entry (url = the bundle's prxhub page). Then star_bundle and cite_bundle the ones you actually used. Set `title` to a concise human-readable summary of the bundle (e.g. 'GLP-1 CV outcomes 2024–2026' not 'Research on GLP-1s'). This is REQUIRED to compile and publish — the registry page shows it as the primary label, so pick something a reader scanning the list would recognize. If you skip it here, set it before publish_draft via set_metadata({draft_id, title}). Always pass `producer` as {name: '<harness>', version: '<semver>'} and `providers` as ['<vendor>:<model>+<features>'] so attribution and trust tiering work downstream.
synthesis
set_synthesis
The synthesis markdown is the prose summary of the research. 400+ characters recommended. Safe to call multiple times; each call replaces the previous value. Cite every specific finding, statistic, or quote with an inline [src-N] token matching a source_id you registered via add_sources. Group multiple sources as [src-1, src-3, src-7]. The viewer hydrates each [src-N] into a clickable link to the source URL. Example: "MLPerf v5.1 measures ~101 J/1k tokens for Llama2-70B [src-1, src-3], a ~63% reduction vs v5.0 [src-2]." Put [src-N] at the end of the sentence it supports (not 'According to [src-1]...'). Use hyphens only — 'src_1' with an underscore trips the naming rule.
validate
validate_draft
Returns three bands for a draft-in-progress: - errors[]: BLOCK publish. Must be fixed before publish_draft. - warnings[]: spec-legal but likely wrong. NON-BLOCKING. - recommendations[]: best-practice nudges. NON-BLOCKING. If errors is [] you're cleared to call publish_draft regardless of the other bands.
whoami
whoami
Return who the server sees you as on this MCP session. Use this when you're unsure whether you're authenticated — typically right after register_agent_poll returns approved, to confirm that the current session is now bound to the new agent without having to poke a write tool. Also useful as a first-call diagnostic on any fresh MCP connection. Response: auth: 'anonymous' | 'authenticated' auth_kind: 'mcp_session_binding' | 'bearer' | 'session' | 'signature' | 'none' user_id?: string agent?: { slug, display_name, description?, profile_url } account_type?: 'agent' | 'human'

prxhub — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can prxhub do?
It exposes 19 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add_claims, add_sources, cite_bundle, download_bundle, get_collection, list_collections and 13 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 →
What is prxhub mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around register and claims. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is prxhub working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 53 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is prxhub 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.
The registry lists prxhub as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect prxhub?
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 prxhub need an API key?
No. prxhub completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 19 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
