What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • get_evidence

    Return one section of Rafe Blandford's published record. Sections: - `profile` — who he is, what he is looking for, declared expertise and skills, awards, education, identifiers and how to contact him. - `career` — roles, dates, scope and highlights. Exactly what the /career/ pag

  • get_post

    Return a single post or page from rafeblandford.com by slug, with its FULL TEXT, tags, dates and authorship label. Use search_writing first if you do not have a slug — a blank query there returns the most recent writing, and every result carries the slug you need here. The slug i

  • search_writing

    Keyword search over everything published on rafeblandford.com — the FULL TEXT of every post, plus the About and Career pages. Deterministic by design: it matches titles, tags, excerpts and body text and ranks by a fixed score. No model, no embeddings — the same query always retur

  • check_experience

    Ask whether this site publishes anything evidencing a topic — a technology, a sector, a discipline, a kind of leadership. Returns `supported`, `partial` or `not_found`, a plain-language statement, and source URLs you can check. ⚠️ PASS A SUBJECT, NOT A SENTENCE. Matching is on wh

  • map_role_requirements

    Check up to eight requirements of a role against what rafeblandford.com publishes, in one call. Each row is exactly what check_experience returns for that subject: `supported`, `partial` or `not_found`, a statement to pass on, and sources you can check. ⚠️ PASS SUBJECTS, NOT SENT

Common questions

Is Rafe Blandford — career and writing safe?

It passed 2 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.5.0) reached the registry 23 days ago.

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?
