Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 215 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name fathom-kernel.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 43 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 215 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 215 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

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

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Fail
    Parameters documented

    42 of 170 parameters have a description (25%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-11-01T10:24:57.967372Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 43

activities_add

Add a synthetic activity to a Space as its owner. Only a person can mark one real.

Discovered
activities_answer

Refused for AIs: a person's answer to an activity is theirs alone, given on the people page. Tell your person what activities_participation shows; never answer for them.

Discovered
activities_get_choice

Read an activity's current choices and ticks.

Discovered
activities_list_join_requests

List join requests for the owner or requester.

Discovered
activities_lock_choice

Lock one option of an open activity choice.

Discovered
activities_offer_choice

Let the group choose a time, place, or approved ability field, as the Space owner. Text labels come only from a person on the people page.

Discovered
activities_participation

Read the person's activity answer, places and offers. ifOthersCount ("N would come if others say they're in") is a count of people who are not coming. Never add it to coming or tell anyone they will have company.

Discovered
activities_request_to_join

Ask to join an activity for your person, only after they said they want to. It asks to join the activity, all its dates, not one evening. Give your person the undoUrl: it is their own page for this request, and Withdraw is there. Keep it for them; the status URL alone can't take the request back.

Discovered
activities_set_details

Attach validated extension values to an activity.

Discovered
activities_tick_choice

Tick activity choices only when your person says what works.

Discovered
activities_update

Change an activity as its Space owner. Plain text only; an AI may not mark it real.

Discovered
affiliations_declare

Say how interests relate (serves, kind-of, part-of, alias-of). It lands as recommended: never used or shown to members until the steward approves it. Terms are plain text, never a person.

Discovered
capabilities_search

Search the available synthetic capability catalog.

Discovered
experiences_apply

Apply an owner-approved trusted experience manifest.

Discovered
experiences_preview

Preview the current trusted experience manifest.

Discovered
experiences_validate

Validate a declarative experience manifest.

Discovered
extensions_list

List approved extensions and your own proposals.

Discovered
extensions_propose

Propose a strict data-only ability; it stays pending until a steward reviews it. The id must not name a town: abilities work in every town; where they apply is data.

Discovered
extensions_report_gap

Report a missing capability and why it matters.

Discovered
extensions_withdraw

Withdraw your proposed extension before steward review.

Discovered
fathom_builder_start

Start a builder sandbox with a synthetic Space and activity.

Discovered
fathom_find

Find public places and synthetic groups for an interest in a town. Read-only. Pass your person's memory link as memory to put what fits them first.

Discovered
fathom_forget

Forget a memory for good when your person asks, using their own link exactly as they have it.

Discovered
fathom_help

Read the full current guidance for a Fathom tool.

Discovered
fathom_propose

Only after your person said yes to this exact proposal. Propose a missing place or community, or (kind offer) your person's own spare capacity. A place needs a source: any https page about it that you read, your person gave you, or Fathom listed. It returns an undoUrl; give your person the undoUrl: it is their own page for the proposal, and Withdraw is there. It stays pending until a steward reviews it, and is never shown as fact before that. An offer never says who: no email, phone, link or address.

Discovered
fathom_remember

Keep how your person likes to meet, choices only, only after your person said yes to being remembered (send keep: "yes"). Give them the private link it returns.

Discovered
fathom_space

Read a private Space as its members see it.

Discovered
fathom_space_context

Add one fact to a Space you built: with the https page that states it, or synthetic: "yes" when made up for the plan.

Discovered
fathom_space_join

Join a builder's private Space for your person through their invite link, only after your person said yes to joining. Returns their own token for activities_tick_choice and fathom_space.

Discovered
fathom_status

Read a proposal, join request, or your person's own memory by its link, given exactly as your person has it. Read-only.

Discovered
genesis_items

Read the places and activities a genesis run found, from position since. Relay the attribution lines and the unclaimed line exactly as returned, and keep each place's source link next to its name.

Discovered
invite_links_create

Create a private invite link for a Space. An open invite link can't protect names Fathom was never given: leave invited people's names out of the purpose and activity text, so that each person's name shows to others only after their own yes.

Discovered
knowledge_lens

Answer 'where can I … in <town>' with sourced places. Relay the attribution lines and the unclaimed line exactly as returned. When you pass a place on to your person, keep its source link next to its name, so they can see where it comes from.

Discovered
places_verdicts

Read the person's own private place answers.

Discovered
platform_describe

Describe Fathom and its safe synthetic lab boundary.

Discovered
propose_type

Propose a data-only kind or predicate the knowledge layer lacks; it answers "use X" when one exists. Examples that are people, and kinds named for a person or role, are refused.

Discovered
spaces_create_draft

Create a synthetic draft Space for the delegated principal.

Discovered
spaces_get

Read a Space when its visibility rules allow it.

Discovered
spaces_list_public

List public synthetic Spaces visible to the caller.

Discovered
type_status

Read a kind or predicate's status and evidence.

Discovered
views_checks

Run the steward checks for a view trial.

Discovered
views_list

List approved and your own proposed views.

Discovered
views_propose

Propose a bounded synthetic-place view for steward review.
