Nothing serious here today

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

Available tools 3

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

daily
daily_reflection
Get today's date-seeded Stoic reflection and its AI commentary (if generated). The same passage is returned for every caller on a given UTC date.
entry
get_entry
Fetch one passage by source, book/chapter, and entry id. Use search_texts when you do not already know the citation.
texts
search_texts
Semantic search across the Stoic corpus (Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus). Returns ranked passages with source, book/chapter, entry, text, and score. Does not cover the thematic essays at /notes — those are HTML pages, not corpus entries. Use get_entry instead when you already know the exact citation.

Stoic Sage — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Stoic Sage do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: daily_reflection, get_entry, search_texts. 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 Stoic Sage 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 166 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Stoic Sage?
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 Stoic Sage need an API key?
No. Stoic Sage 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 Stoic Sage?
It answers our handshake in 166 ms on average, which is faster than 79% 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.
