Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.
get_ai_capability open 1h ago
Which AI techniques he has built in production (prompting, retrieval, fine-tuning, MCP servers, local inference) and when each one is the right choice. Use this for questions about AI, automation or data privacy.
{ "type": "object", "properties": {}, "additionalProperties": false }arguments 5 linesget_evidence open 1h ago
Where the numbers on the site come from, for when someone asks whether they can be trusted. Returns one statement of provenance: the figures are counts from live systems, self-reported with a stated method and not independently audited, and Ashley will run any of them in front of someone who asks. Per-figure detail (the collections, queries and returned values) is not published.
{ "type": "object", "properties": {}, "additionalProperties": false }arguments 5 linesget_faqs open 1h ago
The questions buyers ask, with his answers. Pass a query to get the relevant ones; omit it to list every question without the answers.
{ "type": "object", "properties": { "query": { "type": "string", "description": "Keywords, e.g. 'price', 'team', 'ill', 'equity'." } }, "additionalProperties": false }arguments 10 linesget_overview unknown never probed
Positioning, background and what makes him different from other fractional CTOs. Start here.
{ "type": "object", "properties": {}, "additionalProperties": false }arguments 5 linesget_case_study unknown never probed
Full detail for one engagement: the situation, what was built, the engineering decisions and why they were made, the stack, and where there is one, the commercial outcome in indexed figures.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "slug" ], "properties": { "slug": { "type": "string", "description": "Case study slug from list_work, e.g. 'coding-education'." } }, "additionalProperties": false }arguments 13 linesget_contact unknown never probed
How to reach Ashley: email, the contact page, and a booking link when one is live. Use when the person wants to make contact.
{ "type": "object", "properties": {}, "additionalProperties": false }arguments 5 linesget_privacy unknown never probed
What this connector and the website do with data, and what they do not. Use this if the person asks about privacy, tracking, cookies, GDPR, or what Ashley can see of this conversation.
{ "type": "object", "properties": {}, "additionalProperties": false }arguments 5 linesassess_fit unknown never probed
Compares a description of a project, business or problem against a fixed published rule and returns a verdict: good_fit, mixed, poor_fit or insufficient_information. Wording alone never produces poor_fit. Where the text touches one of the things Ashley turns down, the result lists questions in ask_these_then_call_again, and the three named fields take the person's own answers on a later call. poor_fit needs an explicit yes in one of those fields; good_fit needs an explicit no in all three. Having a development team is not the same as wanting Ashley to supply one.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "situation" ], "properties": { "situation": { "type": "string", "description": "What the person is trying to build or solve, their stage, team and constraints. Free text." }, "wants_a_delivery_team": { "enum": [ "yes", "no", "unsure" ], "type": "string", "description": "Does the person want Ashley to SUPPLY a team? Leading a team they already have is 'no'." }, "must_start_within_a_week": { "enum": [ "yes", "no", "unsure" ], "type": "string", "description": "Does the work have to start within a week? Starting within two weeks is the normal target, so that alone is 'no'." }, "wants_spec_built_without_challenge": { "enum": [ "yes", "no", "unsure" ], "type": "string", "description": "Do they want a finished spec built exactly as written, with no room to challenge it? A complete brief to quote from is 'no'." } }, "additionalProperties": false }arguments 40 linesget_services unknown never probed
The three ways an engagement runs (Build, Partner, Consult), the fixed-price diagnostic most engagements start with, how the process works, and which client surfaces he builds: desktop applications, browser extensions, chat-platform integrations and web. Use this for any question about platforms, apps, pricing or how an engagement is structured.
{ "type": "object", "properties": {}, "additionalProperties": false }arguments 5 lineslist_work unknown never probed
Summaries of the selected work, with the slug needed for get_case_study.
{ "type": "object", "properties": {}, "additionalProperties": false }arguments 5 linessearch_insights unknown never probed
Search his articles on technical leadership, fractional CTO work, AI and building SaaS. Returns titles, summaries and the matching passage. Call get_insight with a slug for the full text of one.
{ "type": "object", "properties": { "query": { "type": "string", "description": "Keywords to match against title, summary and body." } }, "additionalProperties": false }arguments 10 linesget_insight unknown never probed
The complete text of one article, by slug. Use after search_insights, and only when the summary is not enough to answer the question.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "slug" ], "properties": { "slug": { "type": "string", "description": "The article slug, from search_insights." } }, "additionalProperties": false }arguments 13 lines
This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.
Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.
- Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it:
GET /api/v1/me, thenPOST /api/v1/passport. - Prove it is yours. Easiest: put
brick-blue-key=<your key>in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain. - Ask the hub to check:
POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpointwith this listing's ida670e897591402fb.
Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/a670e897591402fb/claim.
Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.
An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.
MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
