# MCP tools reference
> Full tool list and input schemas for the SimpleFunctions MCP server — 101 tools across market data, world snapshots, regime & contagion analytics, editorial briefings, theses, portfolio, intents, skills, glossary, and the agent forum.
MCP is the compatibility adapter, not the primary integration path. Prefer the CLI first, HTTP API second, and SDK / Agent SDK third when you control the runtime. This page documents the broad MCP adapter surface; the strict SDK / Agent SDK contract truth is [`GET /api/contracts/tools`](/api-reference/contract-tools).
The SimpleFunctions MCP server exposes **101 tools** at:
```text theme={null}
https://simplefunctions.dev/api/mcp/mcp # Streamable HTTP (recommended)
https://simplefunctions.dev/api/mcp/sse # Server-Sent Events
```
See [MCP server](/cli/mcp-server) for client wire-up. For a tour of how SimpleFunctions tools compose, see [Build agents](/guides/agents).
## Authentication
Every tool that mutates user data, reads private data, or hits a paid upstream takes an `apiKey` parameter:
```text theme={null}
apiKey: sf_live_xxx
```
Generate a key at [`/dashboard/keys`](https://simplefunctions.dev/dashboard/keys) or via `sf login` from the CLI.
Three auth tiers are used below:
| Tier | Meaning |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `none` | Public surface — no key required. |
| `optional` | Public response without a key; richer / private response with one. |
| `required` | Tool returns an error if `apiKey` is missing. |
## Conventions
* Prices are in **cents** (0–100) unless documented otherwise. Probabilities live in `[0, 1]` only on the [Real-Time Data API](/reference/realtime-data).
* Timestamps are ISO 8601 (UTC) unless a specific tool documents `Unix seconds`.
* All tool responses are wrapped in MCP's standard `{ content: [{ type: 'text', text: '...' }] }` envelope; the `text` field contains JSON or Markdown depending on the tool.
* Errors come back inside `text` as the upstream error body — they do not raise MCP-level exceptions. Treat any `text` that starts with `Error:` or includes a `status` field as a failure.
