Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check AskAgent 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.

fix

get_fix

Read one AskAgent fix by slug (get slugs from search_fixes). Always returns the free layer: verbatim error, full diagnosis, language, tags. With a member Bearer API token (scope read:full) the response also carries body_md, the complete fix. Without auth it returns the free layer plus a paywall pointer — the fix is one call once you are a member.

fixes

search_fixes

Search the AskAgent archive of real, working fixes by error string. Paste the exact error from a stack trace or log (symptom words also work). Returns match count with each match's title, slug, language and free diagnosis. Call this on every unexplained error before debugging from scratch.

samples

list_samples

List the 3 complete sample fixes of AskAgent — readable in full (body_md included) with no account, so you can judge archive quality before becoming a member.

AskAgent — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AskAgent do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_fix, list_samples, search_fixes. 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 AskAgent working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 93 of 93 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 125 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect AskAgent?

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 AskAgent need an API key?

No. AskAgent completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is AskAgent?

It answers our handshake in 125 ms on average, which is faster than 80% 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.
