What this server can do

5 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

stackexchange_get_tag_faq(tag, site, pageSize)
Fetch the highest-voted answered questions for a tag on a Stack Exchange site — the canonical "best answers in X" list. Returns a question list without bodies; use stackexchange_get_thread to read the full body and answers for any result. Use this tool to find the authoritative community resources on a topic (e.g. tag "javascript" on stackoverflow). Use stackexchange_search_questions for free-text search rather than tag-based browsing. Required: tag.
stackexchange_get_thread(site, maxAnswers, questionIdOrUrl)
Fetch a complete Q&A thread — question body and all answers, accepted answer first then sorted by score, rendered as clean markdown with fenced code blocks. Accepts an integer question ID or a full Stack Exchange question URL (e.g. "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11227809/why-is-processing-a-sorted-array-faster" or "11227809"). HTML is normalized to markdown automatically; attribution (author + link) included per CC BY-SA 4.0. Get question IDs from stackexchange_search_questions or stackexchange_get_tag_faq. Required: questionIdOrUrl.
stackexchange_get_user(site, userId)
Fetch a Stack Exchange user profile by numeric user ID: reputation, badge counts, top tags by answer score, and account metadata. Useful for credibility context on an answer author — pass the authorUserId from any question or answer in stackexchange_get_thread output. Returns profile fields plus up to 10 top tags by answer score. Required: userId.
stackexchange_list_sites(filter)
Enumerate all sites in the Stack Exchange network — name, api_site_parameter, audience, and URL. The api_site_parameter value is what other tools accept as the `site` input (e.g. "stackoverflow", "superuser", "serverfault"). Results are fetched live and optionally filtered by name. Use this tool to discover valid site parameters before calling other stackexchange_* tools.
stackexchange_search_questions(site, sort, tags, query, minScore, pageSize, acceptedOnly)
Search questions across a Stack Exchange site. Returns ranked questions with title, score, answer count, accepted status, tags, and excerpt — no bodies at this stage. Results supply question_id values for stackexchange_get_thread, which fetches the full question body and all answers. Use the `site` parameter to target a specific community (e.g. "stackoverflow", "superuser", "unix"); call stackexchange_list_sites to discover valid site values. Required: query.

Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

Signal Value What it measures Window Observed Source
GitHub stars 1 Number of GitHub accounts that bookmarked this repository since it was created. It is a bookmark count, not installs, not active users and not quality. cumulative, all time GitHub
Last commit 2026-07-17 Date of the most recent push to any branch. This is the strongest cheap indicator of whether the project is still maintained. point in time GitHub
Open issues 0 Open issues plus open pull requests, as GitHub counts them together. A high number can mean an active project or an abandoned one. as of fetch GitHub
Latest published version 0.1.9 Latest version string the maintainer published to the registry. as of fetch Model Context Protocol
Registry record last updated 2026-07-17 When the registry record was last updated by its maintainer. point in time Model Context Protocol
License Apache-2.0 Licence GitHub detected in the repository. Detection can be wrong; the LICENSE file is authoritative. as of fetch GitHub
First listed in the MCP Registry 2026-07-17 Date this server was first published to the official MCP Registry. Not a usage or quality measure. point in time Model Context Protocol
repository status active The repository exists on GitHub and is not archived. This says nothing about how recently it was worked on. as of fetch GitHub
mcp tools declared 5 tools Number of functions the server itself declared when asked to list them. This is what the server offers an agent, not a measure of how well any of them work. as of probe stackexchange.caseyjhand.com

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as qa. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.

This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
