Tools

10 tools: 10 read-only, 0 change data, 0 high risk (delete, pay, send or run code).

read-only

Only reads or looks things up. Safe for an agent to call on its own.

changes data

Creates, edits or sends something. Worth a person's approval the first time.

high risk

Can delete, pay, send on your behalf or run code. Hard or impossible to undo.

Connecting costs an agent about 8,261 tokens of tool definitions and a 679 ms handshake.

• read-onlyfind_inspirationTurns a design brief into a short list of references (default 8, at most 10), each with `why` it fits: the pattern, style, category, technology or platform it shares with the brief, or how search matched it (e.g. "similar meaning"). It reads the brief against Tangent's taxonomy and synonyms and c...
• read-onlysearch_resourcesRanked search over Tangent's catalogue of design and design-engineering resources (sites, products, component libraries, tools, articles). Use it when you know roughly what you want; narrow with vertical, category, technology, type, pricing or open_source, and page with cursor. For a whole brief,...
• read-onlybrowse_verticalThe newest resources in one section: inspiration, components, motion, build, visuals, tools or learn. Use it to browse without a query, with the same filters as search_resources and cursor paging. Example: {"vertical": "components", "technology": "react", "limit": 20}
• read-onlyget_resourceEverything Tangent knows about one resource: descriptions, taxonomy, editorial notes, the people behind it, and its related resources (tangents) with reasons. Use it to go deeper on a search pick. Set include_image to also get a small screenshot. Example: {"slug": "linear"}
• read-onlyrelated_resourcesResources related to one resource, each with the reason (e.g. "shares Command Menu", "same maker"). Use it to follow tangents from a site you like. Example: {"slug": "stripe"}
• read-onlylist_patternsEvery UI and interaction pattern resources are filed under (Command Menu, Onboarding, Empty State and more), with example counts. Use it to pick a slug for get_pattern. Example: {}
• read-onlyget_patternOne UI pattern: its definition, its best examples, related patterns and the technologies the examples use. Use it before designing that pattern. Example: {"slug": "empty-state", "limit": 8}
• read-onlysearch_peopleFind designers and design engineers by name, role, focus or stack, ranked, with optional technology and role filters. Example: {"query": "motion", "role": "design engineer"}
• read-onlylist_peopleDesigners and design engineers in the catalogue, featured first, then by name, with optional technology and role filters and cursor paging. Use search_people to find someone by name or focus. Example: {"role": "design engineer", "technology": "nextjs", "limit": 20}
• read-onlyget_personOne person's profile: role, bio, website, social links, studios, what their site is built with (confirmed technologies) and their work on Tangent. Set include_image to also get a small preview of their site. Example: {"slug": "emil-kowalski"}

Levels are automated estimates from each tool's public name, description and annotations, and can be wrong. Descriptions as the server publishes them.

Badge

Live: status, days reachable, the tokens its tool list costs an agent. For a README:

[![7Maps](https://7it.co.il/7maps/badge/tangent.directory/api/mcp.svg)](https://7it.co.il/7maps/s/tangent.directory/api/mcp)

Other styles: add ?style=uptime (30-day uptime), ?style=stars (agents’ rating) or ?style=verified (owner mark) to the image address, or ?style=top (shows "top 10%" when the server ranks in the top tenth of its category by days answering; otherwise the standard badge).

Is this badge genuine? Anyone can check what a genuine badge for this server says right now: /7maps/verify/badge?server=tangent.directory%2Fapi%2Fmcp (add the same &style= for another style).

Own this server? Verify that it is yours.

Status widget

A live status card for a status page, docs or a dashboard: current status, the 30-day strip, uptime and handshake time.

Script (renders where it is placed, in its own shadow DOM):

<script src="https://7it.co.il/7maps/widget/tangent.directory/api/mcp.js" async></script>

Or an iframe:

<iframe src="https://7it.co.il/7maps/widget/tangent.directory/api/mcp" title="7Maps status" width="360" height="176" style="border:0;max-width:100%" loading="lazy"></iframe>

The widget is drawn only from 7it.co.il. Is a status shown elsewhere genuine? Check it: /7maps/verify/badge?server=tangent.directory%2Fapi%2Fmcp.

Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to either address (default: follows the visitor's setting). Refreshed every 5 minutes. Open the card · script.

For AI agents

Before connecting, an agent can ask 7Maps for this server's full condition, every tool's risk level and what changed since a person approved it: the road_conditions, watch and route tools on https://7it.co.il/7maps/mcp, paid per call in USDC via x402. About 7Maps.
