Corey James MCP server
Which MCP servers are Corey James's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

- Registry nameai.coreyjames/portfolioverified in the MCP registry
The registry name sits under coreyjames.ai. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-29 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 254 ms.
- Its tools do none of the product's use cases we checked: orchestrate governed agents that run in sandboxes driven by events; broker LLM inference tokens across saturated runtimes; turn database limits into sized, admitted write paths.
- Checked on 4 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.
Once connected
- Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 6 of 13 tools: check arguments before calling.
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.

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?
Worth a look
None of the five warning signs in these definitions.
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 →
match_roleGiven a job description or a list of requirements, return an evidence-backed fit report: for each requirement, the pages and figures on coreyjames.ai that demonstrate it, plus the gaps. Cites, never asserts.
search_portfolioSearch the systems, engineering stories, capabilities, ideas, technologies and patent applications. Returns ranked pages with their measured results and links.
get_pageThe record for one page by URL: title, result, systems, technologies, stats, lede, quote, evidence.
searchSearch the portfolio (connector-compatible): returns results with id, title and url. Use fetch with an id for the full document.
fetchFetch one portfolio document by id (the page path from search): id, title, text (the page as Markdown), url, metadata.
list_systemsThe ten systems with one-line results.
list_capabilitiesThe capabilities the work demonstrates.
list_ideasThe recurring engineering principles.
list_technologiesTechnologies, optionally by kind (language, discipline, platform, framework, protocol, runtime, datastore, hardware, model).
list_patent_applicationsThe provisional patent applications (patent pending), with application numbers.
whoWho this is: name, the name used on patent filings, role, links and how to make contact.
scaleThe size of the body of work: source lines, commits, languages, systems, stories, ideas, tools, patent applications.
contactSend a message to Corey James through the site's contact form, on behalf of the user. Requires the user's own name and email.
How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"portfolio": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://coreyjames.ai/mcp"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http coreyjames https://coreyjames.ai/mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://coreyjames.ai/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
