Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

get_blog_post

Fetch a bike4mind.com blog post's full content by slug.

Discovered
get_comparison

The full Bike4Mind vs ChatGPT (OpenAI) vs Claude (Anthropic) vs Microsoft Copilot vs build-it-yourself comparison — the same table rendered at /compare, with the structural argument: a lab can't be model-neutral, a cloud can't be cloud-neutral.

Discovered
get_open_core_facts

The open-core licensing and sovereignty facts: the BSL 1.1 → Apache-2.0 ratchet, the three-ring 'door out' (Usage Policy §0), and why the exit is the trust.

Discovered
get_product

One product in the Bike4Mind ecosystem by slug: what it is, where Bike4Mind fits in it, status, category, links, and its latest dated updates.

Discovered
get_site_info

What Bike4Mind is, in machine-readable form: the open-core AI workbench (notebooks, agents, 13 artifact types, image gen, data lakes, MCP host+server), licensing (BSL 1.1 → Apache-2.0 ratchet), deployment modes, and every agent-facing surface this site publishes.

Discovered
list_models

The live Bike4Mind model catalog — synced from the live Bike4Mind models API (the same models the app offers). Filter by type ('text'|'image'), provider, or a substring query. Returns name, provider, context window, max output, cost tier (text models), and a per-entry source for auditing.

Discovered
list_products

Every product in the Bike4Mind ecosystem (Bike4Mind itself, Bedrock News, K2Kanji, Stocks and Vibes, Bob, 4XCiv, Paintbox, Overwatch, Tarot, Manifold, Fleet) plus Friends of Bike4Mind, products other people built with it (tier 'friend', with a creator): name, one-line tagline, status (live, beta or in development), category, public URL where there is one, and the bike4mind.com page for each. Filter by category or status.

Discovered
search_blog_posts

Search bike4mind.com blog posts. Multi-word queries are matched term by term across title, tags, summary and full body — so natural phrasing works ("open core licensing") and you do not have to guess a post's exact wording. Results are ranked: posts matching every term come first, partial matches follow rather than being discarded. Omit q to list the most recent posts. Returns compact listings with URLs.

Discovered
whats_new

Dated product updates from Bike4Mind and its products (Paintbox, Tarot, Stocks and Vibes, Bedrock News, K2 Kanji, Manifold, Fleet, Overwatch, Bob), newest first. Each entry is one sentence with a kind (feature, art or fix), a product tag, and any screenshots or demo videos as absolute media URLs. Filter by product slug and/or a start date; omit both for the latest updates.
