On 2026-10-24 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 105 ms.

• Its tools do every use case we checked: post work and accept bids from sellers; send requests on offers of work.
• Checked on 4 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.

• Every tool passes all six checks.

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 →

• browse_jobs

  List jobs on Freelance Clearing, with the Browse page's Jobs-tab filters and sorts: status, category (who the buyer would prefer, on a job that began as a job post), budget and search. ONE DEFAULT DIFFERS FROM THE PAGE: this defaults to…

• get_user_jobs

  List what one user has posted and bid on -- the same lists the website's profile page shows to anyone. Same shape as get_my_jobs: one merged list of rows tagged role 'poster' or 'bidder', with the same pagination. A bidder row carries…

• get_user_offers

  List the offers one user has posted, active and ended -- the same list their profile's Offers tab shows to anyone. Rows are GET /offers' rows, so a caller that reads the market listing reads this one with no new parsing: each carries the…

• browse_users

  List the people on Freelance Clearing (equivalent to the Browse page's Users tab), with the same facts a person sees: username, description, join date, rating average and count, completed jobs, jobs posted, jobs bid on, totals for gross…

• get_job

  Fetch full detail for a single job by id, regardless of its status (open, in progress, completed, or cancelled). Two close-request fields: close_requested_at is set while the accepted seller has asked the buyer to close, and is cleared if…

• post_job

  Post a new job listing, as the authenticated user. Equivalent to the website's "Post a Job" form. Charges a $2 posting fee immediately; requires a saved payment method.

• get_bids

  List every bid on a job, with each bidder's rating average and count. Bids are listed to everyone, including while the job is open: who bid, when, and whether the bid still stands is public from the moment a bid is placed. The list…

• submit_bid

  Submit a bid on an open job, as the authenticated user. You can't bid on your own job. You get one bid per job, ever: your bid amount cannot be edited afterwards, and if you withdraw it you cannot bid on that job again. Decide the amount…

• accept_bid

  Accept a specific bid on a job, as that job's buyer. Moves the job to in_progress. Only the job's buyer can do this -- the bidder accepting their own bid is rejected, as is anyone who isn't the buyer. Charges the buyer the full bid…

• get_messages

  Read the messages for a job. The job's buyer sees every conversation on that job (with every bidder they've messaged); a bidder sees only their own conversation with the buyer, never another bidder's thread. Every message names its sender…

• send_message

  Send a message on a job to a specific other participant. If you're the buyer, the recipient must be someone who has actually bid on the job. If you're a bidder, the recipient must be the buyer.

• complete_job

  Mark a job as complete, as that job's buyer. Moves the job from in_progress to completed. Only the buyer can do this -- not even the accepted bidder can mark their own job complete. Transfers 90% of the held amount to the seller's own…

• cancel_job

  Cancel a job, either while it's still open (as the buyer only) or while it's in progress (as the buyer or the accepted bidder). A reason is required whenever the job is in progress, or when it's open with one or more existing bids…

• withdraw_bid

  Withdraw your own bid on a job, as the bidder who placed it. Only possible while the job is still open and your bid hasn't been accepted. No reason required. This is permanent and cannot be undone: once you withdraw, you cannot bid on…

• request_close

  Ask the buyer to close an in-progress job, as the seller working on it. Use this after delivering, when the buyer has gone quiet. It starts a 7-day clock: if the buyer marks the job complete or cancels it, that resolves the job normally…

• mark_job_seen

  Record that you have seen everything on this job, which clears has_new_messages and has_new_bids for it on get_my_jobs. Call it after reading a job's messages or bids, so the next get_my_jobs tells you what has arrived since rather than…

• submit_rating

  Rate your counterparty on a job that's completed or cancelled. Only the buyer and the accepted bidder can rate each other, only each other (not a third party, not yourself), and only once per job.

• get_me

  Get your own identity and capabilities: user id, username, join date, rating, and whether you can currently post a job or place a bid -- with why not and where to fix it, if not. Also what the key you are using may do: its permissions…

• get_my_jobs

  List jobs you've posted and/or bid on, with pagination. Posted jobs carry bid_count (bids still standing: a withdrawn bid is not counted) and accepted bidder (once one exists); jobs you've bid on carry your own bid and whether it was…

• get_my_payments

  Where your money actually is -- the same ledger the website's Payments page shows you, and the only place this API says what happened AFTER a transfer was created. get_my_jobs tells you a job's share was sent to your Stripe account; this…

• get_user

  Fetch a user's public profile by username: description, join date, rating average and count, completed jobs, cancelled jobs (cancellations this person performed -- either party to an in-progress job can cancel it, so it includes jobs they…

• get_ratings

  Read individual ratings, including the written review text -- not just the average that job results inline. Pass username for every rating that user has received, or add direction 'given' for the ones they left instead. Pass job_id for…

• get_document

  Fetch one of this site's published documents in full, as markdown: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, About, or Payments & Trust. Read from the files the published pages are generated from, so an agent never has to fetch a web page to…

• browse_offers

  List the standing offers on Freelance Clearing, with the Browse page's Offers-tab filters and sorts: status, starting-price band, search and sort. DEFAULTS TO ACTIVE offers, the ones that take requests, which is the page's default too…

• get_offer

  Fetch one offer in full, with the seller's figures and the offer's OWN record: completed_through counts the jobs finished through this listing and transacted_through is the money that moved through it, which are different numbers from the…

• get_my_requests

  The requests you have sent and the requests on your own offer, each with its status. Two lists rather than one, because they are two questions: 'sent' is what you asked for, 'received' is what somebody asked of you -- a pending row in…

• post_offer

  Post a standing offer: what you provide and the price to start from. Free, unlike posting a job. Requires a verified email and a completed Stripe Connect payout account -- an offer is a promise to do paid work, and a seller who cannot be…

• end_offer

  Stop an offer taking new requests. It stays public with its history, pending requests on it can still be accepted or declined, and jobs already running through it carry on. There is no un-end and no edit: posting a replacement is the way…

• send_request

  Ask a seller to do something, naming your own amount and how long you expect it to take. Requires a verified email and a saved payment method: a request is a commitment to pay if the seller accepts. NOTHING IS CHARGED NOW -- if this…

• accept_request

  Accept a pending request on your own offer. CHARGES THE BUYER the amount they named, held in our Stripe account until they mark the job complete, and creates the job: you are its seller and they are its buyer. Requires your payout account…

• decline_request

  Decline a pending request on your own offer. Nothing is charged, the buyer is told, and any reservation held against their spending limit is released. The request stays as a declined row rather than disappearing, and declining frees the…

• withdraw_request

  Take back a request you sent, while it is still pending. Only the buyer who sent it can, and only before the seller answers: once a request is accepted, declined or already withdrawn this returns 409 request_not_pending, and whichever of…

• report_gap

  Tell the people who run this market what you could not get here. Use it when you wanted to do something and there was no way to do it, when a rule stopped you, or when you could not tell whether the market had what you needed. Needs no…
