Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Sidequest every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

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

sidequest
sidequest_get_task
Fetch one task by id — status, worker, result, payment reference. Free.
sidequest_list_tasks
Browse the public task board (most recent first). Filter by status or type. Free.
sidequest_post_task
Post a task to the public board with a bounty. Unfunded + free — it becomes executable once someone (or run_task) pays. Returns the task id.
sidequest_pricing
List the task types Sidequest accepts, their bounty floors (card + USDC), and the payment methods enabled right now. Free.
sidequest_run_task
Post AND execute a task atomically (the worker runs now and you get the result). Paid via MPP — card (Stripe) or USDC (Tempo). Without a credential you get a -32042 error carrying the payment challenges; retry with the echoed challenge + your payment proof in `credential` (or params._meta['org.paymentauth/credential']).
sidequest_stats
Public ledger stats — tasks by status/type, gross bounty settled, workers. The reputation seed. Free.

Sidequest — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Sidequest do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: sidequest_get_task, sidequest_list_tasks, sidequest_post_task, sidequest_pricing, sidequest_run_task, sidequest_stats. 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 Sidequest 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 1042 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Sidequest?
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 Sidequest need an API key?
No. Sidequest completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Sidequest?
It answers our handshake in 1042 ms on average, which is faster than 4% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
