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

story
find_story
Finds personalized illustrated children's books from the Hero of You catalogue that fit a child's age, interests and an occasion (birthday, new sibling, starting school, bedtime fears, Christmas and more). Each result has the title, a one-line summary, the published cover picture and a link to the story page. Use when a parent, relative or friend is looking for a personalized book or gift for a child aged 0 to 8. The child is drawn into the book from one photo on heroofyou.com; this tool takes no photo.
get_story
Returns the details of one story in the Hero of You catalogue: who it suits, the age range, occasions, the three chapter previews, published sample pictures, who else can appear in the book, the printed formats it comes in (hardcover, softcover) and the link to the story page. Use when someone wants to know more about a specific story, by its id (e.g. "dinosaurs") or title.

Hero of You — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Hero of You do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_story, get_story. 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 Hero of You working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 29 of 29 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 324 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Hero of You?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Hero of You need an API key?
No. Hero of You completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Hero of You?
It answers our handshake in 324 ms on average, which is faster than 46% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
