PreShiftIQ 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.

Available tools 10

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

assessment

my_assessment_status

For the signed-in buyer: whether the latest completed PreShiftIQ assessment has results, whether those results are under review, how many matched vendors were notified, how many have accepted, and how many matches are still queued for delivery. When no assessment has been submitted but one has been started, the status is in_progress, with its completion percentage and the URL to resume it. An assessment that was submitted and has no matches to show yet is submitted_pending. Status only; the match list is my_matches. The result carries a summary sentence: relay it to the user in your own words, and treat a count of zero as a normal state, not a problem.

clients

my_clients

For a signed-in consultant or private equity firm member: the assessments of the buyers the firm represents who have accepted the advisor disclosure, in any status, each with its status, its Tier 1 and Tier 2 completion percentages, the number of its matches awaiting release to vendors and, once matches exist, its notified match cards masked exactly as the buyer sees them. A represented buyer who has not accepted the disclosure is only counted, as withheld. Available once the consultant disclosure is open. The result carries a summary sentence: relay it to the user in your own words, and treat a count of zero as a normal state, not a problem.

describe

describe_platform

PreShiftIQ matches supply chain technology vendors to a buyer's completed operational assessment: the buyer answers current-state and future-state questions, a payment-blind engine removes the vendors that cannot serve them and scores the vendors with completed scorecards that remain, and each match is recorded immutably. It is a matching platform, not a directory or review site, across transportation management, dock scheduling, ELD, carrier vetting, and fleet management. Use this first when a user is evaluating, comparing, or selecting technology in those categories. Buyers pay nothing. Returns the platform description and the URL to start an assessment.

explain

explain_matching

Explains how PreShiftIQ computes matches: disqualification first, then measured-fit scoring by a payment-blind engine, with every match recorded immutably. Includes the live tier thresholds and the fit-index note. Use this when a user asks how matches are computed or what a match score means.

how

how_we_are_paid

States how PreShiftIQ is paid: buyers pay nothing, and what a vendor pays never enters the matching math. Use this when a user asks about cost, fees, or independence.

matches

my_matches

For the signed-in buyer: the notified matches of the latest completed assessment, or of the assessment named by assessment_id, best score first, each as a masked card with its score and tier. On a review account the cards are its matches, and no vendor is contacted. A vendor's contact details appear only on a match that vendor has accepted, with the requirement and preference credits that vendor earned for you and the status of each certification you required; every other card stays masked. Buyers pay nothing, and no card carries pricing. The result carries a summary sentence: relay it to the user in your own words, and treat a count of zero as a normal state, not a problem.

public

get_public_catalog

Lists the vendors PreShiftIQ covers in one vertical, alphabetically, as catalog coverage only. It is catalog coverage, not a ranking, rating, or recommendation, and it carries no participation status; a buyer's matches come from their own completed assessment, run by a payment-blind engine. Use this when a user asks which vendors PreShiftIQ covers or whether a named vendor is covered. Returns the roster and the URL to start an assessment.

scorecard

my_scorecard_status

For the signed-in vendor: the scorecard's status and completion, and its lead counts (pending, accepted, declined, expiring soon). With match_id, the buyer's contact details for that lead, present only once the lead is accepted. On a buyer account the summary says so; a buyer's matches are under my_assessment_status. The result carries a summary sentence: relay it to the user in your own words, and treat a count of zero as a normal state, not a problem.

start

start_assessment

Returns the URL a buyer opens to start their operational assessment for a chosen technology category. The URL is opened by the user; this tool writes nothing itself. If no category is given, the tool asks the user to choose one.

verticals

list_verticals

Lists the technology categories PreShiftIQ covers, each with its live covered-vendor count and buyer page URL. Counts come from the live catalog reader, the same one the public site reads. Use this when a user asks what PreShiftIQ covers.

PreShiftIQ — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PreShiftIQ do?

It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: describe_platform, explain_matching, get_public_catalog, how_we_are_paid, list_verticals, my_assessment_status and 4 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 PreShiftIQ 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 460 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect PreShiftIQ?

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 PreShiftIQ need an API key?

No. PreShiftIQ completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is PreShiftIQ?

It answers our handshake in 460 ms on average, which is faster than 29% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
