Available tools 22

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

extract
extract_arxiv
Search arXiv for research papers via the official API. Pass a topic or full arXiv API URL. Returns titles, authors, dates, abstracts.
extract_changelog
Update history for any product. Accepts a GitHub repo URL or an npm package name. Returns version numbers, release dates, and entries.
extract_company_landscape
Most complete single-call company intelligence: SEC 8-K filings + USASpending federal contracts + GDELT global news + product changelog + Stooq quote data. 5 unique sources.
extract_finance
No-key stock quote data via Stooq. Accepts comma-separated ticker symbols and returns quote/OHLC/volume observations with timestamps.
extract_finance_landscape
Composite financial intelligence: Stooq quote data + HN sentiment + Reddit discussion + GitHub ecosystem + product changelog. 5-source unified report.
extract_gdelt
Global news intelligence from GDELT. Monitors news from every country in 100+ languages, updated every 15 minutes. Returns articles with source country, language, date.
extract_gebiz
Singapore Government procurement opportunities (GeBIZ via data.gov.sg). Search by keyword, agency name, or empty for all recent tenders.
extract_github
Extract real-time data from a GitHub repository — README, stars, forks, last commit, topics. Returns timestamped freshcontext.
extract_gov_landscape
Composite government intelligence: federal contract awards (USASpending) + dev community awareness (HN) + GitHub repo activity + product release velocity (changelog). 4-source unified report.
extract_govcontracts
US federal contract awards from USASpending.gov. Search by company name (e.g. 'Palantir'), keyword, or NAICS code. Returns amounts, dates, agencies.
extract_hackernews
Extract top stories or search results from Hacker News. The url field accepts an HN/Algolia URL or a plain search query.
extract_idea_landscape
Idea validation composite: HN pain signals + YC funded competitors + GitHub crowding + jobs market signal + npm/PyPI ecosystem + Product Hunt launches. 6 sources.
extract_landscape
Composite tool. Queries GitHub + HN + npm simultaneously. Returns a unified landscape report with each source's own freshness.
extract_producthunt
Extract recent Product Hunt launches by keyword/topic search or a PH URL. Returns name, tagline, votes, comment count, topics, and launch date per result.
extract_reddit
Extract recent posts from a subreddit (e.g. 'r/MachineLearning') or a Reddit search/listing URL. Returns title, subreddit, author, score, comment count, and post date per result.
extract_scholar
Extract research results (title, authors, year, snippet) from a Google Scholar search URL. Scholar exposes only the publication year, not an exact date, so freshness confidence is capped at medium.
extract_sec_filings
SEC 8-K filings via EDGAR full-text search. 8-K = legally mandated material event disclosures (CEO changes, M&A, breaches). Pass company name, ticker, or keyword.
extract_yc
Scrape YC company listings from a ycombinator.com/companies search URL. Returns name, batch, status, tags, and description per company. Freshness is unknown — YC listings carry no reliable per-company update date.
evaluate
evaluate_context
Evaluate caller-provided candidate context and return decision-ready output. This is the primary FreshContext judgment path: it does not fetch, crawl, scrape, browse, read folders, or call adapters.
jobs
search_jobs
Search for real-time job listings with freshness badges on every result. Sources: Remotive + HN Who is Hiring.
package
package_trends
npm and PyPI package metadata — version history, release cadence, last updated.
repos
search_repos
Search GitHub for repositories matching a keyword. Returns top results by stars.

FreshContext — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can FreshContext do?
It exposes 22 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: evaluate_context, extract_arxiv, extract_changelog, extract_company_landscape, extract_finance, extract_finance_landscape and 16 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 FreshContext working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 105 of 111 checks got a reply (94.6%), average response time 220 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect FreshContext?
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 FreshContext need an API key?
No. FreshContext completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 22 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is FreshContext?
It answers our handshake in 220 ms on average, which is faster than 65% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use FreshContext?
The npm package freshcontext-mcp was installed 69 times in the last week. Week over week that is -11%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is FreshContext open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 12 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.
