Bots missed 3 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 5

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

bots

list_bots

List the URBot catalog of 150+ trained vertical AI expert bots with slug, name, tagline, category, and price tiers (most bots start at $1). Optionally filter by category (e.g. education, health, finance, legal, technology, outdoor, 3d-modeling, game-dev, 3d-printing, media). Use the returned slug with get_bot, chat_with_bot, or get_skill. URBot bots keep your data yours - each one is downloadable and runs locally.

search_bots

Keyword-search the URBot catalog across bot names, taglines, categories, knowledge topics, and capability pitches. Returns the top matches with slug, name, category, price, and why they matched. Use this first when you know the task but not which expert bot to use (e.g. "sourdough", "tax deductions", "unreal engine blueprints", "knee pain").

bot

get_bot

Get the full card for one URBot bot by slug: name, tagline, pitch, price tiers, 6-axis capability radar (knowledge/practical/empathy/technical/creativity/safety, 0-100), knowledge topics, which bots it pairs with, and team synergy bonuses. Find slugs via list_bots or search_bots.

chat

chat_with_bot

Send a message to a live URBot expert bot and get its reply (with emotion metadata). Works without an account via the free preview (a few messages per bot per session); purchased bots or an URBOT_API_KEY lift the limits. Pass the returned session_id back in to continue the same conversation. Example slugs: chef, medic, professor, legal, hunter, blender.

skill

get_skill

Generate an agent-ready SKILL.md (agentskills.io-style YAML frontmatter + system prompt + capability profile) for one URBot bot. Drop the file into any SKILL.md-compatible agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes, ...) to use the bot as a native skill. Uses the live URBot Factory persona endpoint when credentials are available, otherwise builds from the bundled catalog snapshot (marked in frontmatter).

Bots — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Bots do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: chat_with_bot, get_bot, get_skill, list_bots, search_bots. 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 Bots working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 91 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 990 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Bots still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect Bots?

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 Bots need an API key?

No. Bots completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Bots?

It answers our handshake in 990 ms on average, which is faster than 11% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
