Novus Examples

For AI clients

MCP server

An assistant can ask this site which example file matches a testing need and get back the exact fixture and its download URL, instead of inventing a sample or guessing from a search result.

The endpoint

https://examples.novusstreamsolutions.com/mcp

One stateless POST, JSON-RPC over HTTP, protocol revision 2026-07-28. No account, no key, no sign-up: every tool reads content this site already publishes, so an authentication step would be theatre. A GET answers 405 on purpose, because that revision removed the server-sent stream and a client opening one needs a definitive answer rather than a request that hangs.

Adding it to a client

Most clients take a block like this. The server name is yours to choose; the URL is the part that matters.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "novus-examples": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://examples.novusstreamsolutions.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What it exposes

List every fixture categorylist_categories
The whole catalogue at one level up: every category, how many files it holds, what kind of fixture lives in it, and the URL of its hub page. Start here when you do not yet know how this library is organised, then narrow with find_example_files.
List every purpose taglist_purposes
The other axis of the catalogue: what each fixture is FOR. A purpose tag groups files across categories by the thing they let you test: OCR accuracy, CSV parsing, video matting, certificate parsing. Use it when the request names a job rather than a file type.
Find the example or test files that match a described needfind_example_files
Describe the file you need in plain language and get the matching fixtures, ranked, with the page URL and the direct download URL for each. This is the main tool: it searches all 5,075 documented files at once, so use it before guessing a category or a URL. It returns locations. This server cannot open, convert or check a file for you.
Everything one fixture file records about itselfget_example_file
One file's complete spec sheet: its exact format and MIME type, byte size, documented properties, purpose tags, its published testing contract (what it exercises and what a correct tool should do with it), its paired twin and format group, and both URLs. Call find_example_files first to get a slug.
Search the written pages: category hubs, purpose landings and the format glossarysearch_docs
Search this site's own prose rather than its files: the category hubs, the purpose landing pages, the format glossary (what a format is and how to use it), and the site's documentation, help and policy pages. Use find_example_files when you want a file; use this when the question is what a format is, or how this library works. Blog article bodies are not indexed here; start from the /blog page.
List every site in the Novus Stream Solutions networklist_novus_sites
Every site in the Novus Stream Solutions network, what each one is for, and the MCP endpoint each one serves. Call it when the request is not about example files: converting or compressing something, PDFs, background removal, study material, music visualizers, AI usage stats, food-market data, or the game, so you can hand the caller the site that does it instead of forcing an answer out of this one.

Prompts it ships with

A client that supports prompts can offer these directly, so the right sequence of tool calls does not have to be rediscovered each time.

Work out which Novus Examples fixture matches a testing need, and where it is.

What it will not do

It cannot open, read, convert, validate or render a file, and it cannot generate one. The fixtures are static downloads, and every studio on this site runs inside your own browser tab, so there is no server-side processing anywhere in this product and nothing here for a tool to process with.

What it returns is which file fits, what that file is built to exercise, and the URL that downloads it, so the work can happen in your own toolchain. Nothing is uploaded and there is nothing to authenticate. The catalogue it reads is the same one behind Browse and the tool map.
