Lib Docs Hint — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Lib Docs Hint do?

It exposes 29 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: agent-tool-index, browser-url-ok, calc-eval, citation, compatibility, domain-shape and 23 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 Lib Docs Hint working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 49 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Lib Docs Hint?

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 Lib Docs Hint need an API key?

No. Lib Docs Hint completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 29 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Lib Docs Hint?

It answers our handshake in 49 ms on average, which is faster than 91% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Lib Docs Hint open source?

We cannot say that it is: 0 stars on GitHub, but no licence is declared, and without one the code is not open source by default.
