Frontier Reference is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 7 tools, among them compare_formats, convert_file, get_company. It answers at https://falcon.so/api/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 12 September 2026; the last check, on 24 October 2026, succeeded.
Frontier-design reference: file formats, converters, definitions, sensors, companies, design jobs.
Description as the publisher wrote it.

get_company | Profile of a frontier company: what they build, why it matters for frontier design, competitors and technologies from the knowledge graph. Inputs: slug |

identify_format | Identify a file format from an extension, filename, or slug (e.g. 'step', 'scan.mcap', 'gltf') and get how to open or convert it: what it stores, its extensions/MIME/spec, whether a free in-browser viewer exists, and available client-side c Inputs: file |
list_design_jobs | Latest design/UX/HMI roles at frontier companies (defense, robotics, space, industrial, health), refreshed from company job boards. Inputs: industry, limit |

It answered our last check on 24 October 2026 in 491 ms. Over 6 checks since 12 September 2026 it answered 6. Status here comes from Neuronto's own probes, not from the publisher.
Yes. It is published by falcon.so and served from falcon.so, the vendor's own domain: https://falcon.so/api/mcp.
7, as returned by the server's own tools/list on 23 September 2026: compare_formats, convert_file, get_company, get_definition, identify_format, list_design_jobs, search.

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://falcon.so/api/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
Publisher: so.falcon. Endpoint host: falcon.so. ARD identifier: urn:air:so.falcon:mcp:frontier-reference.
First indexed 10 September 2026. The tools are exactly what the server returned; nothing on this page
is inferred from its name. Ranking in Neuronto search is never for sale.
