Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

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

bettermode

bettermode_get_member

Get a single community member by their `id`. Returns name, username, email, status, creation date, role, and tagline. Bettermode GraphQL query: member.

bettermode_get_network

Get top-level info about the Bettermode community ("network") this token belongs to — id, name, primary domain/subdomain, status, creation date, and total member count. No arguments. Bettermode GraphQL query: network.

bettermode_get_post

Get a single post by its `id`. Returns title, shortContent, creation date, space, owner (member), and reaction/reply counts. Bettermode GraphQL query: post.

bettermode_get_space

Get a single space by its `id` OR its `slug` (provide exactly one). Returns the space's name, slug, description, type, creation date, and member/post counts. Bettermode GraphQL query: space.

bettermode_list_members

List members of the community, with pagination. Optionally filter by a search term (`query`, matches name/username/email), by role (`roleIds`), order (`orderBy`), and reverse. Returns edges[].node (with role) plus pageInfo and totalCount. Bettermode GraphQL query: members.

bettermode_list_posts

List posts across the community, with pagination. Optionally scope to one or more spaces (`spaceIds`), order (`orderBy`, passed through as a plain string), and reverse. Returns edges[].node (title, shortContent, space, owner) plus pageInfo and totalCount. Bettermode GraphQL query: posts.

bettermode_list_spaces

List spaces (the containers for posts — e.g. discussions, Q&A, articles) in the community, with pagination. Optionally filter by name (`query`), order (`orderBy`, a SpaceListOrderByEnum value), and reverse the order. Returns edges[].node plus pageInfo and totalCount. Bettermode GraphQL query: spaces.

bettermode_search

Full-text search across the community (members, spaces, posts, …). Provide a `query` term; results come back grouped by entity type, each hit with id, title, subtitle, content, url, and entityId. Bettermode GraphQL query: search.

Bettermode — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Bettermode do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: bettermode_get_member, bettermode_get_network, bettermode_get_post, bettermode_get_space, bettermode_list_members, bettermode_list_posts 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 Bettermode 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 168 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Bettermode?

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 Bettermode need an API key?

No. Bettermode 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 Bettermode?

It answers our handshake in 168 ms on average, which is faster than 73% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Bettermode open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
