Available tools 8

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

listings
my_listings
What the Tick Mark Books owner dashboard shows about the listings an account owns: each one's status (`status.kind`: review with the expected date, accepted with `liveOn` and `paid` ('express' | 'featured' | null: the paid way that releases it, Featured including VIP listing), live, refused with the reason, or archived), the listing as it shows, where AI answers named the product or cited its page, and what it can buy here at this site's prices. Only for the account itself: send its session Cookie header, or its agent key with "Read your listings" as Authorization: Bearer. Same answer as GET https://tickmarkbooks.com/api/owner/listings. Read-only: corrections go through the dashboard's request form.
search_listings
Full-text search over Tick Mark Books's Published tools. Returns compact records (name, slug, tagline, url). Fetch depth with get_listing.
best
get_best_of
The Published tools in one category, in the order its category page prints (ranked by what we can confirm: a public price, an API and docs, independent sources, stated limits), as a markdown answer sheet. Payment never moves a row.
categories
list_categories
Tick Mark Books's categories with their live listing counts, 0 for one with none yet.
compare
compare_listings
Two tools side by side, as markdown: taglines, pricing, API availability, tags — the researched compare facts, honest about unknowns.
listing
get_listing
One tool in full, as answer-first markdown: the summary, then every question on the sheet with its answer, the vendor's own words for it and the URL that proves it. Identical to /{slug}.md and to the HTML page.
send
send_lead
Send a buyer-intent enquiry (lead) to a tool or a whole category on Tick Mark Books. Keyless. Requires consent:true, a real name, a permanent (non-disposable) email, a message of at least 20 chars, and a target (listingSlug OR categorySlug). Returns { ok, delivered }. Idempotent by (email, target) within 7 days. Nothing here changes a listing's rank, tier or copy.
submit
submit_listing
Submit a tool to Tick Mark Books: the url alone; we write its name and description from its own pages. Requires an existing signed-in account with verified email; send its session Cookie header on the MCP request, or an agent key the account made at https://tickmarkbooks.com/dashboard/agents as Authorization: Bearer. Identity and email come only from that session or key. Sign in or explicitly create an account at https://tickmarkbooks.com/login?next=%2Fsubmit and verify its email before retrying. This tool creates no account and sends no verification email. Returns {httpStatus:201, id, slug, status:'Draft'}; research + the quality gate decide publication. Your own (url, session email) replay within 24h returns httpStatus:200. The fit check starts at once and usually answers within a minute: poll GET https://tickmarkbooks.com/api/submissions/{id} and wait the Retry-After seconds it sends while fit is "checking". fit then reads "accepted" (it goes live, and the account is mailed), "rejected" (mailed with the reason) or "undecided" (a person looks within 2 days). No session: {httpStatus:401, error:'sign_in_required', message, loginUrl}. Unverified session: {httpStatus:403, error:'email_unverified', message, email, remediation}. The owner must prove the site before anything is listed: the account's address, or an address it proved with a code, must be on the submitted website's domain. Otherwise the answer is the pending state {httpStatus:403, error:'domain_unverified', status:'awaiting_owner_proof', listed:false, message, domain, proveWith, ownerUrl, ownerStep, remediation}: nothing is listed or queued. proveWith names who can receive the 6-digit code (any address at the domain; for a GitHub or other shared-host project, its listed addresses or a one-line file). Submitting for someone else? Give the owner ownerUrl (the submit page with the site filled in): they enter the code there and the listing goes in once proven. With a mailbox at the domain yourself: POST /api/domain-proof/start {url, email}, POST /api/domain-proof/verify {proofId, code}, then submit again. Personal mailboxes (gmail, outlook…) never prove a domain. No refusal creates a listing. Validation returns 400; duplicate/claim responses return 409. Read tools remain keyless.

Tick Mark Books — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Tick Mark Books do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_listings, get_best_of, get_listing, list_categories, my_listings, search_listings and 2 more. 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 Tick Mark Books 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 263 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Tick Mark Books ever remove tools?
Yes. subscribe_newsletter 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 Tick Mark Books?
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 Tick Mark Books need an API key?
No. Tick Mark Books completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Tick Mark Books?
It answers our handshake in 263 ms on average, which is faster than 52% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
