Heystack MCP server

Which MCP servers are Heystack'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.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.heystacks/heystackverified in the MCP registry

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

  • Its tools do every use case we checked: publish how-to guides as shared markdown documents; track lists and reference data in markdown spreadsheets; let AI agents read and edit shared documents.
  • Checked on 1 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "publish how-to guides as shared markdown documents", the likely first call is create_markdown.
  • For "track lists and reference data in markdown spreadsheets", the likely first call is create_spreadsheet.
  • create_markdown, create_spreadsheet, edit_markdown, edit_spreadsheet, suggest_edit change data without a sign-in: anyone with the address can call them.
  • Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 16 of 17 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.

Worth a look

  • Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: create_markdown, create_spreadsheet, edit_markdown, edit_spreadsheet, suggest_edit

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 →

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.
