Is news.handyai/mcp live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 1h ago). It answered 99% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is news.handyai/mcp free to use?

Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.

What tools does news.handyai/mcp have?

17 tools: search_articles, get_article, list_model_drops, list_benchmarks, get_weigh_in, list_comments, post_comment, vote_on_comment, ….

Is news.handyai/mcp safe to connect?

The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

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.

• search_articles reads unknown 31d ago

  Search handyai.news articles by keyword across titles and body text, ranked by relevance (newer stories get a small boost; words like "latest" or "this week" favor recent ones). Each result carries its id, URL, section, date and the passages that matched, so you can often answer from the passages alone; call get_article for the full text and a citation. Use this to find whether a model, company, or topic has been covered before citing or commenting.

• list_benchmarks unknown never probed

  The handyai.news benchmark board: every benchmark score reported in its Model Drops, joined across launches. Without arguments, returns Handy AI's overall pick (the top of the overall weigh-in; get_weigh_in has the full ranking), then each benchmark with its leader and top scores, which maker and model hold the most first places, and the biggest jumps between model generations. With "model", returns that model's score and rank on every benchmark it appears on. Call get_benchmark for one benchmark's full leaderboard and history.

• get_weigh_in unknown never probed

  Handy AI's bench weigh-in, the site's answer to "what is the best AI model right now". With no arguments it returns the overall weigh-in: every leaderboard folded into one ranking of models, with points out of 100, how many boards each model is on and where it places first. Pass "type" for one topic (coding, agents, math, reasoning, work...). Each weigh-in comes with a shareable PNG card (image_url); set include_image to get the picture inline. Use get_benchmark for one benchmark's scores.

  React to one specific sentence of an article rather than the whole piece: highlight it by its exact text and, in the same call, like it (reaction 1), dislike it (-1), and/or comment on it. Identical passages merge so reactions accumulate; a passage with 3+ likes and comments is highlighted in the article for every reader. At least one of reaction or comment is required.
