## MCP tools (13)

### `research_answer` (~203 tokens)

Research a Robinhood Chain project

Is this Robinhood Chain project still being built, what did it ship, what changed, is this contract its own? One bounded answer, cited. capability: research_project or builder_status (q: a name or $TICKER, or address, or project: a slug; a name several projects share lists them); what_changed (project or chain, 1–30 days); verify_project (address, project?); compare_builders (2–4, no winner); unknowns (every coverage state). Claims FACT/DERIVED/UNKNOWN with freshness and evidence ids. Not price advice or a safety verdict.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string)
- `building` (string)
- `capability` (string, required)
- `days` (integer)
- `detail` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `project` (string)
- `projects` (array)
- `q` (string)
- `types` (array)

Output parameters:

- `answer` (object)
- `capability` (string)
- `claims` (array)
- `data`
- `evidence` (array)
- `schema` (string)
- `schemaVersion` (string)
- `status` (string)

### `find_projects` (~662 tokens)

Find a Robinhood Chain project

Which Robinhood Chain project is this name, $TICKER or 0x contract, and is anyone building it? A full 0x address is a contract lookup: its ships in 30 days, the last one with its source. Or browse who is shipping now, back from dormancy, accelerating or building ahead of market attention. Surfaces: building-with-token: verified shipping, active or resumed, with a token whose market is live. still-building: verified activity continuing through a market drawdown HEY tracked. under-the-radar: eligible under HEY's Under the Radar rule (status shipping, active or resumed; Build Momentum at least 30; at least 2 meaningful events in the last 30 days, one of them a ship rather than a commit summary; a fresh reading of an active market, not a thin one or only a launch curve, for the project's own token) and a positive Discovery Gap — market-attention percentile below the build percentile; a positive gap alone is not enough, and it does not bound attention itself. shipping-now: status SHIPPING. most-active: shipping, active or resumed, by Build Momentum. new-builders: recorded in the last 7 days. back-from-dormancy: status RESUMED, narrowed to verified builders native to the chain (status=RESUMED gives every resumed project). utility, memes: by kind. shipping-in-silence: eligible under the Under the Radar rule AND below the 40th market-attention percentile. accelerating: more meaningful events in 30 days than in the 30 before. builder-radar: the Builder Radar, ranked by verified development, on-chain use and research, never price. shipping-in-silence and accelerating take no other argument (at most 100 rows); builder-radar takes query, radar, limit and offset. Not a ranking by price: a market sort is context, and rows without the figure follow in activity order.

Input parameters:

- `age` (string): Since the first pool opened.
- `deployed` (string): Since the contract was deployed.
- `has` (array): Facts every row must carry.
- `kind` (string)
- `launchpad` (string): e.g. "pons", "virtuals".
- `limit` (integer): Default 24.
- `maxMarketCap` (number): USD, on the card's valuation reading.
- `minLiquidity` (number): USD; unknown is excluded, never zero.
- `minMarketCap` (number)
- `minVolume` (number): 24h volume, USD.
- `narrative` (string): Narrative slug, e.g. "ai-agents".
- `offset` (integer): The offset a previous answer gave.
- `query` (string): Name, $TICKER or 0x contract (or its start).
- `radar` (string): With surface=builder-radar: a Radar view.
- `sort` (string): Default activity; shipped = newest ship first; shipped7d / shipped30d = most meaningful ships in the last 7 / 30 days.
- `stage` (string): Token launch stage.
- `status` (string): Activity status.
- `surface` (string)

Output parameters:

- `api` (string)
- `data`
- `schema` (string)

### `get_project_snapshot` (~135 tokens)

Project snapshot

Where does this Robinhood Chain project stand? One read by slug — the Research Summary, identity, activity status and Build Momentum, last ships, market context with its kind or why it is withheld, on-chain use, 7-day usage (distinct caller addresses, not people), verification, HoodLock locks, latest changes, freshness and what HEY does not know. Context blocks, never building: paid promotion (presence and dates), DefiLlama protocol economics (measured, not tracked or unread), developer footprint. Not price advice.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): A project slug, e.g. "agentos".

Output parameters:

- `api` (string)
- `data`
- `schema` (string)

### `get_changes` (~251 tokens)

What changed on Robinhood Chain

What changed on Robinhood Chain today or this week, or for one project or contract? The change ledger: releases, ships, status moves, contract deploys and upgrades, verification, sources, unlocks — one event per change with its own time and precision, when HEY first knew, and its evidence. Newest first; for today pass detectedSince; to follow, pass after=c1.0 and keep each cursor. A retraction means HEY no longer makes that claim. Facts, never causes.

Input parameters:

- `after` (string): Sync forward from this cursor (c1.0 is the start).
- `before` (string): Browse older than this cursor.
- `contract` (string): <chainId>:<address>.
- `detectedSince` (string): ISO instant: start a sync at the first event HEY recorded at or after it.
- `domain` (array)
- `limit` (integer): Default 30.
- `project` (string): A project slug.
- `since` (string): ISO date: events whose own time is at or after it (events with no source time are left out).
- `type` (array)
- `until` (string)

Output parameters:

- `api` (string)
- `data`
- `schema` (string)

### `get_project_timeline` (~122 tokens)

What a project shipped

What did this project ship, and when? Builds, releases, code, contract deploys, upgrades and interface changes, token verification, locks and unlocks, each with how precisely HEY knows its time. Lenses: everything, build, code, onchain, market, locks. Paged with the before cursor.

Input parameters:

- `before` (string): The cursor the previous answer gave.
- `lens` (string)
- `limit` (integer): Default 30.
- `slug` (string, required): A project slug, e.g. "agentos".

Output parameters:

- `api` (string)
- `data`
- `schema` (string)

### `explain_fact` (~117 tokens)

Explain a fact

Why does HEY say a project is Shipping, Dormant or Still Building, or show a figure? The value, FACT, DERIVED or UNKNOWN, the rule and version, the winning source, the inputs, the lineage and the evidence ids. Omit fact to list what can be explained; source.counted takes a source id.

Input parameters:

- `fact` (string)
- `slug` (string, required): A project slug, e.g. "agentos".
- `source` (string): With fact=source.counted: the source id.

Output parameters:

- `api` (string)
- `data`
- `schema` (string)

### `get_evidence` (~117 tokens)

Open evidence

What backs this claim? Open the record a HEY answer cited by its typed id — ship:, signal:, abi:, impl:, lock:, source:, claim:, state:, narrative:, method:, sourcechange:, security:, v4hook: — as a receipt: what it claims, its source URL, when it happened at what precision, when HEY knew, how it is backed. A withdrawn record says so.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): A typed evidence id, e.g. "ship:2ac87a66-…".

Output parameters:

- `api` (string)
- `data`
- `schema` (string)

### `get_token_market` (~162 tokens)

Token market

Does this token still trade? Context beside the building, from HEY's daily index: current reading (valuation kind, provider), price, liquidity, volume and trades by day, lifecycle (deploy, launchpad claim, stage, first trade), pools and depth, supply concentration (shares only, no addresses), contract checks. include=["moves"] adds each day-on-day valuation move with the building events published before it — a sequence, never a cause. Not price advice.

Input parameters:

- `days` (integer): Days of history; default 30.
- `include` (array)
- `min_change_pct` (integer): With moves: smallest move in percent; default 25.
- `slug` (string, required): A project slug, e.g. "agentos".

Output parameters:

- `api` (string)
- `data`
- `schema` (string)

### `get_contract` (~175 tokens)

Who made this contract

Who made this Robinhood Chain contract, and is it a known project's? Project, creation, deployer (the only account named, with a count of other tracked projects' tokens it deployed), verified source and whose code it is (template, bytecode match or its own), Sourcify's answer, proxy and implementation history, interface changes, 7 days of calls per method (counts, names withheld; a selector's signature candidate — a guess, never a name). Address (chainId default 4663) or slug for all of a project's. An unread proxy is "not read", never "not a proxy". Not a safety verdict.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string)
- `chainId` (integer): Default 4663.
- `slug` (string): A project slug, for all of its contracts.

Output parameters:

- `api` (string)
- `data`
- `schema` (string)

### `get_v4_hook` (~70 tokens)

Uniswap v4 hook

Who built this Robinhood Chain Uniswap v4 hook? The project HEY ties it to and why (named only while listed; never a creator account), declared callbacks (not a safety verdict), source, hooklist entry, pools by week and unknowns.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `api` (string)
- `data`
- `schema` (string)

### `project_diff` (~97 tokens)

Project diff

What changed for this project between two dates (YYYY-MM-DD, at most 400 days apart)? Releases and meaningful ships, status, Build Momentum, valuation and liquidity then and now, and the changes recorded — each from the nearest persisted point with its date and basis. Never a cause.

Input parameters:

- `from` (string, required)
- `slug` (string, required): A project slug, e.g. "agentos".
- `to` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `api` (string)
- `data`
- `schema` (string)

### `ask_hey` (~98 tokens)

Ask HEY

Asking something else about one project? Put it in free text, by slug, in English or Malay ("did they ship this month?"). HEY answers only from its record, every line tagged FACT, DERIVED or UNKNOWN with its source. Building only; no view on price.

Input parameters:

- `question` (string, required): The question, in the reader's words.
- `slug` (string, required): A project slug, e.g. "agentos".

Output parameters:

- `api` (string)
- `data`
- `schema` (string)

### `chain_overview` (~136 tokens)

Robinhood Chain overview

How active is Robinhood Chain as a whole? view: days (default; trades, volume, tokens, transactions, launches, ships per day), this-week, weekly-report (an ISO week, or the latest), unlocks (scheduled HoodLock unlocks with proof), build-market (Build Momentum beside market attention). Aggregates only; nobody is named.

Input parameters:

- `days` (integer): days: 1–400 (default 14); unlocks: 1–365 ahead (default 30).
- `view` (string)
- `week` (string): weekly-report: e.g. 2026-W37.

Output parameters:

## Common questions

### What is the HEY Research Lab MCP server?

HEY Research Lab is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.hey-research-lab/hey-research. Evidence-backed Robinhood Chain research: builders, ships, contracts, changes, market context. This page covers its npm package (@hey-research-lab/mcp).

### Is the HEY Research Lab MCP server safe to use?

HEY Research Lab scores 68 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 24 October 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the HEY Research Lab MCP server expose?

HEY Research Lab exposes 13 tools: research_answer, find_projects, get_project_snapshot, get_changes, get_project_timeline, and 8 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,345 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the HEY Research Lab MCP server still maintained?

HEY Research Lab is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 24 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the HEY Research Lab MCP server under?

HEY Research Lab declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
