Server tool list (44)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| search | Keyword/full-text search over the Celestia knowledge base (CIPs, Celestia/rollup/node docs, forum, whitepapers, blog, YouTube transcripts, celestiaorg GitHub issues/PRs, releases and Discussions). Celestia-specific — do NOT use for other blockchains (use the Ethereum or other-chain docs tool), the general web (use the web-search tool), other knowledge bases (use the dedicated RAG tool), or local files. Use this for exact-term or name lookups; use semantic_search for conceptual how-does-X-work questions, and get_doc to read a full page once you have its id. |
| get_cip | Read the full text of one Celestia Improvement Proposal (CIP) by its id. Celestia governance docs only — not GitHub issues or arbitrary proposals (use a GitHub tool for those). Get the id from search or list_cips first. |
| list_cips | Browse or filter Celestia Improvement Proposals (CIPs) by status (Draft, Review, Final) or type. Celestia governance proposals only — do NOT use this to list GitHub issues, pull requests, or proposals from other chains (use the GitHub MCP or that chains tool for those). Use get_cip to read one in full, get_cip_history for its status timeline, and get_cip_mentions for where it is discussed. |
| get_discussion | Read one Celestia community forum thread (forum.celestia.org) with its posts, by numeric topic id. This is the CELESTIA FORUM channel — not GitHub Discussions (use get_github_discussion). Get the id from search or get_cip_mentions. |
| get_whitepaper | Read the full text of one Celestia whitepaper or research PDF by slug. Celestia papers only — not arbitrary web PDFs (use a web-search tool for those). Call list_whitepapers first to get a valid slug. |
| list_whitepapers | List the Celestia whitepapers and research PDFs indexed here (slug plus title). Celestia-specific — not arbitrary web PDFs (use a web-search tool for those). Use get_whitepaper to read one by slug. |
| get_trending | Show which CELESTIA content is trending on blobpedia this week (most-viewed CIPs, forum threads, docs, etc.). This is a Celestia content-engagement signal only. It is NOT token price or market trends (for trending coins, gainers, or TIA price movement defer to the price/market MCP such as CoinGecko) and NOT general web or crypto-wide trends (defer to a web-search MCP). Only fire when the user is asking what is popular within Celestia content. Zero arguments. |
| get_doc | Read the FULL text of one indexed Celestia documentation page by id (Celestia node and developer docs plus partner docs) — exact commands, flags, and whole sections a search snippet truncates. Best for Celestia operational/how-to questions. Celestia docs only — not docs of other projects (use that projects docs tool) and not the web (use a web-search tool). Get the id from search or semantic_search first. |
| get_cip_history | Show the status-change timeline of one Celestia Improvement Proposal (CIP) — when it moved Draft to Review to Final, etc. Celestia governance only. Needs a CIP id (from search or list_cips). |
| get_cip_attachments | List file/PDF attachments of one Celestia Improvement Proposal (CIP) — e.g. signed vote records, supporting docs — by CIP id. Celestia governance only. Get the id from search or list_cips. |
| get_cip_mentions | Find where a given Celestia Improvement Proposal (CIP) is referenced across blobpedia: forum threads, blog posts, celestiaorg GitHub issues and pull requests, and sibling CIPs. Celestia-specific cross-reference — use to see who is discussing a CIP and where. Needs a CIP id (from search or list_cips). |
| get_recent_changes | Timeline of what changed on Celestia recently across blobpedia (new/changed CIPs, forum threads, blog posts, GitHub releases, radar alerts), newest first. Celestia activity only — not a GitHub commit feed (use a GitHub tool) and not general crypto news (use a web-search tool). Use get_trending for what is popular rather than what is new. |
| get_network_stats | Counts of CELESTIA CONTENT indexed by blobpedia (how many CIPs, forum threads, docs, videos, etc.). This is INDEX/catalog coverage of what blobpedia has cataloged, NOT live chain state. For LIVE on-chain metrics (block height, TIA supply, validators, cumulative blob data) or TIA price/market, use get_network_state on THIS server instead. Zero arguments. |
| get_network_state | Live Celestia ON-CHAIN state + TIA market, fetched in real time (source: Celenium indexer + CoinGecko): mainnet block height, total TIA supply, validator count, cumulative blob data posted, total txs/accounts/namespaces, plus TIA price, market cap and 24h change. Celestia mainnet only — this is the LIVE on-chain/price layer, distinct from get_network_stats (which counts indexed CONTENT, not chain state). Use this for current/live chain questions or TIA price right now. Zero arguments. |
| list_ecosystem_projects | Browse the Celestia ecosystem catalog (rollups, DeFi, wallets, infrastructure, etc.), optionally filtered by category or keyword. Celestia ecosystem only — not a general crypto-project directory (use a web-search tool for that). Returns catalog entries, not live project data. |
| list_repos | List the GitHub repositories that blobpedia has INDEXED for Celestia, with item counts. Read-only view of the Celestia index on this server — does NOT browse your GitHub account or arbitrary repos (use a dedicated GitHub tool for that). Zero arguments. |
| list_github_discussions | List GitHub Discussions from Celestia repos (e.g. celestiaorg/docs) cached on this server, ranked by upvotes then recency. Celestia repos only, from the local cache — not arbitrary GitHub Discussions (use a dedicated GitHub tool for those). Use get_github_discussion for the full body plus comments of one thread; this is GitHub Discussions, not the community forum (use get_discussion). |
| get_github_discussion | Read one Celestia GitHub Discussion (celestiaorg/docs and other Celestia repos) cached on THIS server — full body plus comments — by an id you got from list_github_discussions on this server. Celestia cache only: if the id was not returned by this servers list_github_discussions, or the request is just a raw GitHub node id (e.g. D_kw...) with no Celestia context, this is NOT the tool — use a dedicated GitHub tool for arbitrary GitHub Discussions. This is GitHub Discussions, not the community forum (use get_discussion). Pair it with list_github_discussions, which supplies the valid ids. |
| get_video | Get one Celestia-related YouTube video cached on this server (metadata plus transcript), by video id. Celestia-only cache — does NOT fetch arbitrary YouTube videos or search YouTube at large (use a dedicated YouTube tool for that). Find ids via list_videos or search. |
| list_videos | Browse Celestia-related YouTube videos cached on this server, filtered by channel/date/transcript availability. Celestia-only cache — does NOT search YouTube at large (use a dedicated YouTube tool for that). Metadata only; use get_video for the transcript of one video by id. |
| get_foundation_info | Who runs Celestia: leadership and team members of the Celestia Foundation and Celestia Labs — names, roles and background — plus the headline figures from the official celestia.org About page. Use for "who is the CEO/CTO", "who works on Celestia", or team-background questions. People and org facts only — this is NOT Celestia documentation (use search or get_doc), NOT CIPs or their discussion (use list_cips/get_cip and get_cip_mentions), and it holds no grant-programme, board-seat or membership records. |
| semantic_search | Semantic (meaning-based) search over the Celestia knowledge base (CIPs, Celestia/rollup/node docs, forum, whitepapers, blog, releases, ecosystem, YouTube transcripts, celestiaorg GitHub issues/PRs). Celestia-specific — do NOT use for other blockchains (use the Ethereum or other-chain docs tool), the general web (use the web-search tool), other knowledge bases (use the dedicated RAG tool), or local files. Use this for conceptual how-does-X-work questions; use search for exact-term or name lookups, and get_doc to read a full page once you have its id. |
| get_started_guide | Personalized onboarding for building ON CELESTIA — running a node, posting a blob, or deploying a rollup that uses Celestia for data availability. ALWAYS use this when a developer asks how to get started or build ON CELESTIA (prefer it over the Celestia search tool for those questions). ASK the user about their background FIRST (rollup_dev, node_operator, app_dev, researcher, new_to_celestia), then return a path with docs.celestia.org links. Celestia-only — NOT for getting started with non-Celestia frameworks, languages, or dev tools (React, Node.js, generic blockchain onboarding, etc.); for those defer to a general docs or web-search tool. |
| search_github_issues | Full-text search across blobpedia's indexed GitHub issues across Celestia repos. Celestia ecosystem only. Use to find prior reports, open bugs, or requested features. For a broader cross-corpus search use the `search` tool with type="github". |
| search_talks | Search blobpedia's indexed Celestia talks/videos (YouTube transcripts). Celestia-specific. Returns matches across title + transcript with a short snippet around the hit. |
| search_release_notes | Search across release-notes bodies of all indexed Celestia repos for a feature/keyword. Celestia-specific. Use to find which release first mentioned X. |
| find_security_patches | Surface release notes likely to contain security or CVE fixes. Celestia-specific. Heuristic: matches release bodies containing security / CVE / vulnerability / patch keywords. |
| find_maintainer_guidance | Surface forum posts authored by top-volume Celestia forum contributors (likely maintainers/core team) on a topic. Celestia-specific. Use when you want to weight expert voices over the general forum. |
| get_issue_status | Look up one GitHub issue or PR by repo + number. Celestia repos only. |
| find_code_examples | Find Celestia code snippets in forum posts on a topic. Filters forum_posts where the rendered HTML contains `<pre>` or `<code>` blocks AND matches the topic keyword. Celestia-specific. |
| find_expert | Rank likely Celestia experts on a topic across blobpedia: forum activity matching the topic, plus overall forum volume of that author. Celestia-specific. |
| ecosystem_dependency_graph | Map ecosystem_projects matching a topic to the GitHub repos that mention them, building a quick "who references these projects" picture. Celestia-specific. Useful for "who else is building around X?". |
| find_collaboration_opportunities | Given one Celestia ecosystem project, find others with complementary tags/category that could plug in. Celestia-specific. Lightweight heuristic: overlap of tags + adjacent categories. |
| diagnose_error | Paste a Celestia ERROR MESSAGE, stack trace, or error code and get the most likely resolved fixes from blobpedia history: forum threads where the same error was discussed, and related GitHub issues (each with its own date). Needs a literal error string or code; do NOT use it for symptom descriptions with no error text (e.g. "my node won't sync"), use semantic_search for those. Celestia-specific. Returns top matches from forum and github. |
| get_breaking_changes | Compare two versions of one Celestia repo and return the release notes between them, plus any forum threads near the release window. Celestia-specific. Use when a developer is planning an upgrade and asks "what breaks moving from X to Y?". Pass version strings as they appear in github_releases tags (with or without the leading "v"). |
| detect_cip_dependency_chain | Walk the CIP `requires:` graph from a starting CIP or PR draft. Returns the full chain of prerequisites that must reach a settled status before the starting proposal becomes implementable, with each prerequisite's current status. Accepts both merged CIPs ("CIP-0005", "5") and open-PR drafts ("PR-203"). Celestia governance only. Use when planning around a CIP that hasn't shipped yet. |
| get_sdk_changelog | Fetch the release-notes body for one version across celestia-app / celestia-node / celestia-core / rollkit / celestia-openrpc. Celestia-specific. Returns the rendered release body with a link to the GitHub release. |
| find_known_issues | Surface known UNRESOLVED problems matching a free-text description: forum threads with zero replies but high views, plus open GitHub issues. Answers "is anyone else hitting this?". Celestia-specific. Does NOT return fixes, solutions, config, or how-to steps, and returns nothing when no open issue matches; for "how do I fix / configure / why does X happen" use semantic_search (then get_doc) instead. |
| find_cip_for_feature | Given a Celestia feature or capability description, find the matching CIP(s) by searching titles and bodies. Celestia-specific. Use to answer "is there a CIP for X?". |
| get_latest_release | Get the single latest release (version tag, publish date, and GitHub release-notes link) for ONE NAMED Celestia repo: app, node, core, rollkit, or openrpc. Celestia-specific. Requires a package name as input. |
| get_radar | Get the Celestia Radar, blobpedia's curated feed of time-sensitive ecosystem alerts: breaking changes, upgrade deadlines, protocol changes and required node-operator/rollup actions, each with deadline, affected components and source link. Filter by level (critical/important/ecosystem/all). Celestia-only. Use when a user asks what's changing, what's about to break, or what deadlines are approaching on Celestia. |
| find_similar_projects | Find Celestia ecosystem projects most similar to a free-text description by matching across title + category + description + tags. Celestia-specific. Useful before proposing a project to check overlap with what already exists. |
| detect_drift | Find contradictions between docs, forum and GitHub on a topic. Returns counts of how each surface talks about it plus the most recent doc-page and forum statement so the caller can spot mismatches. |
| learning_path | Construct a structured Celestia onboarding sequence for a stated goal: whitepaper → relevant docs → CIPs to know → forum starter threads → talks. Celestia-specific. Topic-driven (distinct from get_started_guide, which is background-driven). |
