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.

Runs an external command src/coldhat/hatfile.py:149
    r = subprocess.run(cmd, cwd=cwd, capture_output=True, text=True)

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.

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.

wear
wear_hat
Fetch a person's coldHat: their working rules, voice and dated facts. Call it when the user asks to put on a hat or says "open sesame" with a name or a coldhat.f-keys.com/u/ address, then follow the hat for the rest of the conversation, starting with the first reply it describes.
wear_stack
Fetch any coldHat address: a person's hat, one of Fabric's patterns, a prompts.chat prompt, or up to three of them stacked with "+". Call it when the user says "open sesame" with a coldhat.f-keys.com address containing fabric/, prompts/ or +, then follow the result for the rest of the conversation.
verify
verify_hat
Check whether a reply wore the current version of a hat: compares the hat code and seal the reply quotes with the hat as served now. Answers verified, stale (an older or cached version), cut-off, seal-missing, seal-wrong, pasted or not-worn.

coldHat — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can coldHat do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: verify_hat, wear_hat, wear_stack. 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 coldHat 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 254 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect coldHat?
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 coldHat need an API key?
No. coldHat 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 coldHat?
It answers our handshake in 254 ms on average, which is faster than 66% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is coldHat open source?
We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
