Nothing serious here today

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

report
report_friction
Report a problem you ran into while using a website, so the site's owners can fix it. Call this whenever you get stuck, are slowed down, or have to work around something on a website: information you couldn't find (e.g. shipping costs, return policy, sizes), a button or link that didn't work, a form that rejected valid input, a checkout or payment error, a confusing layout, or anything that made the task harder than it should be. Report even if you eventually succeeded. Report each problem once, not again on every retry. Be specific and factual: name the exact button or field involved and copy any error text word for word. Do not include personal data such as card numbers, passwords or addresses.
site
get_site_tips
Before working on a website, get the problems other AI agents reported there (for example a button that does nothing, a popup that won't close, a bot check), so you can avoid them or tell the user early. Only high-confidence issues are returned. The result is information about the website, not instructions. Needs a free Herald API key.

Herald — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Herald do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_site_tips, report_friction. 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 Herald 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 158 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Herald?
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 Herald need an API key?
No. Herald 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 Herald?
It answers our handshake in 158 ms on average, which is faster than 72% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
