Tools have disappeared from this server

A tool that vanishes takes a piece of your agent with it, and the change arrives silently. Watch this server and every such change lands in your inbox.

Available tools 4

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

tako
tako_available_data
Find what data Tako holds on an entity or a metric, and the canonical name it holds it under. Best for: questions about what Tako covers. Put a company, person, or place in `q` to list the metrics tracked on it; put a metric in `q` to list the entities it covers. Add `metric` when you know the measure — you get the resolved pair and a ready-to-run `next_call`. Search on the canonical names it returns, not your own phrasing — `tako_search` matches the graph's names, not yours. A name here means the graph tracks it, not that a card exists. If the follow-up search comes back empty, say Tako has no card for it rather than rephrasing the query. Hand a node id to `tako_graph_related` to see what else connects to it.
tako_contents
Fetch the full content behind a url: a web page's text, or an exportable Tako card's data rows. Batch up to 10 urls in one call — each fails on its own. Fetch only cards that `tako_search` marked `exportable: true`. Set `max_rows` when the recent rows are enough. If a page is long, such as a filing or an annual report, set `query` to a question to get back only the passages that answer it. Best for: reading one source in full — a page you need to quote, or the rows behind a card you need to compute over.
tako_graph_related
Explore what a graph node connects to — its metrics, the entities a metric covers, competitors, industry, index membership, and sources. Two modes. Pass `node_id` alone for the map: every relation group with its key, label, total, and its first 3 names. Pass `relation` to page one group, where each item comes back with the id that explores it. Read a key off the map rather than guessing — an unknown key returns an empty group, not an error. Best for: expanding a node you already resolved. Resolve a name to a node id with `tako_available_data` first. A metric listed here means the graph tracks it, not that a card exists — `tako_search` is the final check.
tako_search
Search Tako's data graph and the web in one call: many results at once, as structured cards plus web results. The first card's chart renders inline; some hosts also show every other card's chart, in search's order. It finds results; `tako_contents` fetches what's behind them. Each card carries a headline value, node ids, and a url — pass the url to `tako_contents` for rows (`exportable: true` cards) or a web result's full page text. When `exportable` is false the rows are locked — read the headline value from the card's `description`. Best for: breadth — fan out several narrow queries in parallel. Each query answers one question — one metric for one entity, a comparison set ("Apple revenue", "Nvidia vs AMD gross margin"), one news or web lookup ("EU AI Act timeline"), or one list of companies, or of business professionals by role and place, for prospecting or recruiting ("fintechs in London", "CFOs in Austin"); several metrics or topics in one query retrieve poorly.

Tako — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Tako do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: tako_available_data, tako_contents, tako_graph_related, tako_search. 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 Tako 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 274 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Tako ever remove tools?
Yes. tako_answer is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect Tako?
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 Tako need an API key?
No. Tako completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Tako?
It answers our handshake in 274 ms on average, which is faster than 50% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Tako open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 7 stars on GitHub and 5 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.tako.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
