Tools
| Tool | Description | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| base64_decode | Decode a Base64 string back to UTF-8 text. Use for inspecting Base64-encoded API responses, JWT payload claims, config file values, or attachment data. | Read-only |
| base64_encode | Encode a UTF-8 string to Base64. Use when you need to embed binary data, multi-line text, or special characters safely inside JSON fields, HTTP headers, or data URIs. | Read-only |
| case_convert | Convert a string between naming conventions: camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, kebab-case, UPPER_SNAKE_CASE, dot.case, Title Case. Essential for code generation and refactoring. | Read-only |
| color_convert | Convert a color between HEX, RGB, and HSL formats. Use when translating design tokens between CSS notations, verifying color accessibility, or normalizing color values from user input. Accepts #rrggbb, #rgb, rgb(r,g,b), or hsl(h,s%,l%). | Read-only |
| count_code_lines | Count lines of code: total, code lines, comment lines, blank lines, and comment density. Supports JS/TS, Python, Java/C/C++, Ruby, Go, Shell, HTML/XML, and CSS. | Read-only |
| cron_parse | Parse a cron expression into a human-readable schedule description. Supports standard 5-field cron (minute hour day month weekday). | Read-only |
| decode_jwt | Decode a JWT (JSON Web Token) and return its header and payload without verifying the signature. Also reports whether the token is expired and the exact expiry date. Use to inspect claims (sub, iss, exp, roles) during debugging or when integrating with an auth provider. | Read-only |
| diff_text | Compute a unified line-by-line diff between two text strings (LCS algorithm). Returns added/removed/unchanged line counts and formatted diff hunks with configurable context lines (0–20). Use to compare versions of prompts, configs, code snippets, or any text where you need to see exactly what changed. | Read-only |
| env_parse | Parse a .env file content into a JSON object. Handles quoted values (single and double), inline comments, export prefix, and escaped sequences (\n, \t inside double quotes). Returns all key-value pairs. Use in CI/CD pipelines, agent config loaders, or when processing dotenv files programmatically. | Read-only |
| extract_json_path | Extract a value from a JSON string using dot-notation path (e.g., "user.address.city", "items.0.name", "meta.tags"). Supports array index access via numeric path segments. | Read-only |
| find_tool | Search available MCP tools by keyword or category before calling them. Returns names, descriptions and, on request, inputSchemas. Queries are logged 90 days, screened for credentials and personal data. Categories: data, dev, encoding, eval, integrations, llm, meta, qa, rag, security, text, web. | Read-only |
| flatten_json | Flatten a nested JSON object to single-level dot-notation keys (e.g. {"a":{"b":1}} → {"a.b":1}), or unflatten dot-notation keys back to a nested object. Supports custom separators. | Read-only |
| format_json | Validate and pretty-print a string that is ALREADY valid JSON. Strict by design — it is a validity gate: valid JSON comes back formatted, anything else is rejected with the exact parse error. It never repairs, completes, or guesses. NOT for: plain text or prose (will fail), JSON embedded in markdown/prose (use extract_json_from_text first), JS objects (JSON.stringify them first), YAML (use yaml_to_json). | Read-only |
| generate_slug | Convert any string into a URL-friendly slug: lowercase, ASCII-normalized (é→e), special characters removed, spaces replaced with hyphens. Use for generating SEO-friendly URL paths, file names, or identifier keys from user-provided titles or labels. | Read-only |
| generate_uuid | Generate one or more cryptographically random UUID v4 identifiers. Use this when you need unique IDs for test fixtures, database records, session tokens, or any scenario requiring a guaranteed-unique string. Returns up to 100 UUIDs in one call. | Read-only |
| hash_text | Compute a cryptographic hash of a text string. Use when you need to verify data integrity, generate content fingerprints, hash passwords (prefer SHA-256+), or produce a fixed-length digest of any input. Supports SHA-256 (default), SHA-512, SHA-1, and MD5. | Read-only |
| json_diff | Compute a deep structural diff between two JSON values. Returns added, removed, and changed keys with dot-notation paths. Like git diff but for JSON objects — perfect for API response regression testing. Arrays are not compared blindly by position: the same elements in a different order collapse to a single "reordered" change, and an array of records sharing a stable identity field (id, uuid, key, name…) is matched by that field, so paths read [id=42] and a moved record is not reported as N rewrites. | Read-only |
| json_schema_generate | Infer a JSON Schema (draft-07) from a sample JSON value. Detects types, required fields, array item shapes, nested objects, and common string formats (email, uri, date, date-time, uuid). Returns a ready-to-use schema compatible with json_schema_validate. Use when you have a sample API response or LLM output and want to auto-generate a validation schema for CI/CD testing. | Read-only |
| json_schema_validate | Validate a JSON value against a JSON Schema (draft-07 subset). Supports type, required, properties, items, enum, const, pattern, format (email/uri/date/date-time/uuid), minimum/maximum, minLength/maxLength, minItems/maxItems, uniqueItems, additionalProperties, anyOf, allOf, oneOf, not, and local $ref (#/definitions/…, #/$defs/…). A schema using a keyword outside that list (patternProperties, if/then, dependencies, a remote $ref…) is never reported valid: the keyword is named in `unevaluated_keywords`. Returns all validation errors with dot-notation paths. | Read-only |
| json_to_csv | Convert a JSON array of objects to CSV format. Automatically detects columns from all object keys. Handles quoting and escaping per RFC 4180. | Read-only |
| json_to_yaml | Convert a JSON object to clean, human-readable YAML. Handles nested objects, arrays, multiline strings, and special characters. No external dependencies. | Read-only |
| lint_commit_message | Validate a git commit message against the Conventional Commits spec (feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore, ci, perf, build). Returns compliance score, breaking change detection, and actionable suggestions. | Read-only |
| lorem_ipsum | Generate Lorem Ipsum placeholder text for UI mockups, design prototypes, or test data population. Configurable paragraphs (1–10), sentences per paragraph (1–20), and approximate words per sentence (3–30). | Read-only |
| mock_from_schema | Generate realistic mock data from a JSON Schema. Supports all common types (string, number, integer, boolean, array, object, null), format hints (email, date, date-time, uri, uuid), enum, const, and nested schemas. Perfect for testing MCP tools with realistic data. | Read-only |
| number_base_convert | Convert numbers between bases: decimal, binary, octal, hexadecimal, or any base 2–36. Auto-detects 0x, 0b, 0o prefixes. | Read-only |
| openapi_validate | Validate the structure of an OpenAPI 3.x specification (JSON or YAML). Checks required top-level fields (openapi, info.title, info.version, paths), validates each operation (responses, operationId uniqueness), detects undeclared $ref components, and flags missing 2xx responses. Returns a PASS/FAIL verdict, a 0–100 compliance score, and a list of errors and warnings with JSON-pointer locations. Use before publishing an API spec or generating SDK code. | Read-only |
| parse_csv | Parse a CSV string into a JSON array of objects (or raw arrays). Full RFC 4180: quoted fields may contain the delimiter, embedded newlines (the Excel/Sheets multi-line cell), and doubled quotes. Custom delimiters supported. An unterminated quote is rejected with its position rather than parsed into corrupted rows. Use when processing spreadsheet exports, data imports, or structured text pipelines where the source is CSV. Supports up to 200 KB. | Read-only |
| rate_tool | Give honest usage feedback on an IA-QA MCP tool. Give a score (1-5) and a comment. Rate low (1-2) if the tool was wrong, irrelevant, or a poor fit; rate high (4-5) only if it genuinely solved your need. Maintainers read ratings, one vote per agent and tool a month: comments and per-tool scores are not published, only the overall average and vote count. Comments are screened: one carrying a credential is not stored, personal data becomes placeholders — describe what happened, not what a model should do. Skip routine successes: signal, not praise. Example: rate_tool({ tool_name: "format_json", score: 2, comment: "Tried to pretty-print a JSON5 file, it rejected trailing commas — not usable for my case." }) | Changes data |
| regex_test | Test a regular expression pattern against an input string and return all matches with their index positions and named capture groups. Use for validating user inputs, extracting structured data from text, or debugging regex patterns. Supports flags g, i, m, s, u, y. The match runs in an isolated thread with a 500 ms budget: a pattern that blows up (catastrophic backtracking, e.g. "(a+)+$") comes back as redos_detected:true — a real ReDoS verdict on your pattern — instead of hanging. | Read-only |
| text_stats | Compute comprehensive statistics for any text: character count (with and without spaces), word count, line count, sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time in minutes. Sentence counting is abbreviation-aware — titles (Mr., Dr.), acronyms (U.S., i.e., p.m.), initials, decimals, URLs and emails do not end a sentence, and a text with no terminal punctuation still counts as one. Use for validating form field lengths, evaluating LLM output verbosity, or content auditing. | Read-only |
| timestamp_convert | Convert between Unix timestamps (seconds or milliseconds) and ISO-8601 / UTC date strings. Auto-detects epoch vs. millisecond format. Omit input to get the current time. Returns iso, unix_s, unix_ms, utc, date, and time fields. | Read-only |
| url_decode | Decode a percent-encoded URL string back to plain text. Use when parsing query parameters from raw URLs or when displaying encoded values to users. | Read-only |
| url_encode | Percent-encode a string for safe use in URLs. Call this before programmatically building query strings, path segments, or form-encoded bodies to prevent injection and malformed URLs. | Read-only |
| validate_email | Validate an email address against RFC 5322 syntax before storing it, sending a transactional email, or adding it to a mailing list. Returns { valid, email } — use this to avoid bounces and malformed data. | Read-only |
| xml_to_json | Convert an XML string to a JSON object. Supports attributes, nested elements, arrays, CDATA, and namespaces. Options: parse numbers, parse booleans, ignore attributes. | Read-only |
| yaml_to_json | Parse a YAML string and return the equivalent JSON value. The reverse of json_to_yaml. Supports nested objects, arrays, anchors, aliases, multi-document streams, and all scalar types. Use when processing config files, CI/CD pipeline definitions, or OpenAPI specs authored in YAML. | Read-only |
