Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

The public record of building on Robinhood Chain — every ship with its source.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Search & AI memory
  • You need to fill in: HEY_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet

Values you fill in

  • HEY_API_KEY secret env
    Optional HEY API key: names your integration and gives it its own per-minute bucket with a monthly allowance; a free key keeps the anonymous per-minute figure. Nothing private is behind it.
  • HEY_MCP_PROFILE env
    Optional: research for the research profile (builder intelligence first); default full.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is HEY Research Lab safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: HEY_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.4) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

@hey-research-lab/mcp

npx -y @hey-research-lab/mcp@0.3.3          # Node 20 or newer

Or use the hosted endpoint, which needs nothing installed: claude mcp add --transport http hey-research https://heyresearch.xyz/mcp.

HEY Research as tools an assistant can call, over the Model Context Protocol. HEY is the builder-discovery layer for Robinhood Chain; it answers one question — which projects are still building, what have they shipped, and which of them are not yet getting much market attention? — from a public, source-backed record.

The tools read the same public API anyone can curl, so they can say nothing the API does not.

Hosted

claude mcp add --transport http hey-research https://heyresearch.xyz/mcp

Streamable HTTP, stateless and read-only. Add --header "Authorization: Bearer hey_…" to read with your key's allowance. See docs/MCP.md for what the endpoint does and does not do.

Local (stdio)

npx -y @hey-research-lab/mcp@0.3.3

Node 20 or newer — the floor @modelcontextprotocol/sdk brings with it.

Claude Code

claude mcp add hey-research -- npx -y @hey-research-lab/mcp@0.3.3

Claude Desktop — in claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "hey-research": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@hey-research-lab/mcp@0.3.3"] } } }

Environment
VariablePurpose
HEY_API_URLAnother HEY to read, e.g. http://localhost:3000 when developing. Default https://heyresearch.xyz. Anything but https is refused except on localhost, because the key rides on every request.
HEY_API_KEYAn API key from heyresearch.xyz/account. Names your integration and gives it its own per-minute bucket instead of the one every caller on your address shares, with a monthly allowance; a free key keeps the anonymous per-minute figure, a holder key gets more. No tool is gated behind it. Sent as a bearer token, never logged.
HEY_MARKET_INTEGRITYSet to public only when the HEY you read publishes Market Integrity; market_integrity is offered only then. Unset, the server offers thirteen tools.
HEY_MCP_PROFILEresearch serves the research profile (round 4): builder intelligence first — research_answer (which still carries its contract's labelled market context), find_projects by identity, get_changes without market events, get_project_timeline, explain_fact, get_evidence, get_contract, get_v4_hook. Unset, the full set. Hosted: https://heyresearch.xyz/mcp/research.

The thirteen tools

ToolWhat it answers
find_projectsFind a project by name, ticker or contract, or browse a surface — still-building, under-the-radar (eligible under the Under the Radar rule, with a positive Discovery Gap), back-from-dormancy, shipping-in-silence, accelerating, builder-radar, … — with the catalogue's filters. A 0x… address is the contract lookup: is anyone building it, its ships in 30 days, the last one and its source.
get_project_snapshotOne project in one read: identity, build, market with its valuation kind or why it is withheld, on-chain, verification, locks, latest changes, freshness, and what HEY does not know.
get_changesThe change ledger: what changed chain-wide or on one project, one event per change with its own time and precision, when HEY knew, and its evidence; a cursor to follow along.
get_project_timelineOne project's evidence on one axis, paged with a cursor.
explain_factWhy HEY shows a figure: the rule, the source, the inputs, the lineage, the evidence ids.
get_evidenceOne typed evidence id (ship:, signal:, abi:, impl:, lock:, source:, claim:, state:, integrity: (while Market Integrity is public), narrative:, method:, sourcechange:, security:, v4hook:) as a receipt.
get_token_marketOne token's market from HEY's daily index, lifecycle, pools, supply concentration (shares only), contract checks; include: ["moves"] adds the valuation moves with what shipped before each.
get_contractA contract as a research entity — creation, deployer, verified source, proxy and implementation history, interface counts, activity, and for a Uniswap v4 hook HEY stores its callbacks and attribution.
get_v4_hookWho built a Robinhood Chain Uniswap v4 hook: the project HEY ties it to and on what basis (named only while HEY lists the hook; never a creator account), the callbacks its address declares (never a safety verdict), source and proxy as read, Uniswap's hooklist entry as context, pools on tracked tokens by week, and what HEY does not know.
project_diffWhat changed for one project between two dates, never a cause.
ask_heyA free-text question about one project, answered only from HEY's record.
chain_overviewThe chain day by day, this week, an archived weekly report, scheduled HoodLock unlocks, or Build Momentum beside market attention.
research_answerHEY's agent contract (AgentIntelligenceResponse v1) for one of six capabilities — research_project, what_changed, builder_status, verify_project, compare_builders, unknowns — the answer first, then claims tagged FACT, DERIVED or UNKNOWN, what HEY does not know, freshness and evidence ids. research_project, builder_status and unknowns take project (a slug), q (a name or $TICKER) or address (a 0x contract) — exactly one; a name several projects share answers the candidate slugs and picks none. The text is the lean summary by default (detail: "full" for the data, freshness and evidence lines; the whole JSON is always the resource link and structuredContent) and ends on the citation line: "Source: HEY Research Lab, builder research for Robinhood Chain — , as of , rules ". A source's words are quoted as data.

Plus market_integrity where the site publishes it.

Folded on 2026-09-30 and still callable, unlisted, until 2026-12-31: lookup_token (use find_projects with the address), compare_projects (use research_answer with compare_builders) and get_project_coverage (use research_answer with unknowns). Each answers as before, plus one line naming its replacement.

Every tool returns typed structuredContent beside its text and declares an outputSchema: research_answer returns the AgentIntelligenceResponse v1 itself; every other tool returns { schema: "hey.mcp-api-answer", api, data, notice }, the public API object it rendered. Resources (hey://project/{slug}, hey://project/{slug}/timeline, hey://project/{slug}/coverage, hey://contract/{chainId}/{address}, hey://changes/latest) and eight prompts (deep_research_project, what_changed_since, explain_metric, investigate_contract, what_changed_today, compare_project_usage, explain_project_evidence, monitor_project) come with them.

Every answer quotes a source's words «…» (a name, a ticker, a release title) as data, tags its lines FACT, DERIVED or UNKNOWN, says how many it showed of how many and how to read on, names a valuation by its kind, carries the source, and links the JSON it was rendered from. Nothing is rendered as zero or "n/a" where HEY has no figure.

What it will not say

HEY records public building activity. It is not investment advice, it does not predict or rank by price, and it holds no wallet data. The only account any tool names is a contract's deployer: get_token_market names it beside one token's supply-concentration summary (shares only), and get_contract names it with how many other tracked projects' tokens the same account deployed — a count, never a profile, called a launch service only on HEY's own shared-deployer rule. *Still Building* is a narrow claim — counted building continuing through a market drawdown HEY tracked — and the server never states it without its meaning.

From source

The tools live in packages/mcp-core of the public HEY Research repository; this package is their stdio entry point and bundles them, with @hey-research-lab/sdk, into one file.

pnpm --filter @hey-research-lab/mcp build && node apps/mcp/dist/index.js
