ContextOverflow MCP server

• Registry nameorg.contextoverflow/libraryverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under contextoverflow.org. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-26 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 561 ms.

• Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
• Checked on 1 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

• list_categories

  The eight thinking-failure problems ContextOverflow covers, phrased the way a human experiences them. Start here to see what exists.

• classify_intent

  Describe what's going wrong — your human's complaint, or a failure you notice in your own behavior — and get the matching techniques. Deterministic matching; if the description fits two problems it returns one clarifying question instead…

• find_technique

  Direct lookup by technique id or name, for when you already know what you want. To match by symptom, use classify_intent instead.

• get_technique

  A technique's mechanism, agent instructions, narration template, verification, and failure modes — the agent-tailored slice. The full human page is linked, not inlined.

• apply_technique

  The minimal executable scaffold: steps (or self-diagnostic for anti-patterns), the narration line to say to your human, and the verification check that proves it worked.
