## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-18.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1314 tokens (~146/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 89/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 68% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 9 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 10 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (9)

### `search_creators` (~261 tokens)

Search creators

Search Kolect's database of TikTok, Instagram and YouTube creators. Give a plain-language brief (any language: market, niche, follower range, content style, audience...), or similar_to (a profile link, @handle or creator id) to find lookalike creators, or both. Costs the user's credits: 1 credit per 2 creators returned (count 20 = 10 credits); no results cost nothing. Calling again with the same arguments within 15 minutes returns the same results without charging. Results include each creator's id: use it with check_fake_followers, get_emails and save_creators, and the search_id with load_more_results and get_search_results. Values under ai_estimate are AI estimates; say so when you present them.

Input parameters:

- `brief` (string): Who to find, in the user's words. Example: 'US beauty creators, 50k-500k followers, skincare reviews, mostly female audience'.
- `count` (integer): How many creators to return now (more can be loaded later).
- `platform` (string, required)
- `similar_to` (string): Find creators similar to this one: profile URL, @handle (on the given platform), or a creator id from earlier results.

### `load_more_results` (~68 tokens)

Load more results

Get more new creators for one of the user's earlier searches. Costs 1 credit per 2 new creators returned. Calling again right away with the same arguments returns the same page without charging.

Input parameters:

- `count` (integer)
- `search_id` (string, required): search_id from search_creators.

### `get_search_results` (~79 tokens)

Read earlier search results

Read creators already delivered by one of the user's earlier searches (free). Use next_cursor to page through them. To get new creators beyond those already delivered, use load_more_results.

Input parameters:

- `cursor` (string): next_cursor from the previous page.
- `limit` (integer)
- `search_id` (string, required): search_id from search_creators.

### `lookup_creators` (~176 tokens)

Look up creators by link or handle

Check whether specific creators are in Kolect's database, by profile link or @handle, and get their creator ids (needed for check_fake_followers, get_emails and save_creators). Free. Limits per call and per day depend on the user's plan (no subscription: 10 per call, 200 a day; Light: 30 and 500; Plus and above: 100 and 3,000); the daily limit counts only creators found for the first time, and creators past it come back in skipped as over_daily_limit. Bare @handles need platform. Supports TikTok, Instagram and YouTube only.

Input parameters:

- `creators` (array, required): Profile URLs (tiktok.com/@x, instagram.com/x, youtube.com/@x) or @handles.
- `platform` (string): Platform for bare @handles.

### `check_fake_followers` (~150 tokens)

Check fake followers

Estimate how real up to 20 creators' followers are, from public views, engagement, likes and following. Creator ids must come from this user's searches (pass search_id), lookups or saved creators. The first checks each day are free (see get_account), then 5 credits each; creators without enough data cost nothing; results from the last 7 days are reused for free unless fresh=true. This is a rule-based estimate, not platform data; present it that way.

Input parameters:

- `creator_ids` (array, required)
- `fresh` (boolean): Check again even if checked in the last 7 days.
- `search_id` (string): The search these creators came from, if any.

### `get_emails` (~119 tokens)

Get contact emails

Get public contact emails for up to 20 creators. Free for creators from this user's search results (pass search_id; the search already paid for them) and for ones unlocked before. Creators found by lookup_creators need an unlock: free for paid subscribers during the current promotion (daily cap), otherwise 5 credits per email found; no email, no charge. Only show emails to this user; never publish them.

Input parameters:

- `creator_ids` (array, required)
- `search_id` (string): The search these creators came from, if any.

### `save_creators` (~163 tokens)

Save creators

Save creators to the user's Kolect favorites, optionally into a collection (an existing collection's name or id; a new name creates it). Free. Creator ids must come from this user's searches (pass search_id), lookups or saved creators. Saved creators appear on the Kolect website, where the user can export them as CSV. Pass quotes to record the rate the user actually got from a creator (shown only to this user as 'my quote').

Input parameters:

- `collection` (string): Collection name or id. Created if it doesn't exist.
- `creator_ids` (array, required)
- `quotes` (array): Rates the user got from these creators, to record as 'my quote'.
- `search_id` (string): The search these creators came from, if any.

### `list_saved_creators` (~77 tokens)

List saved creators

List the user's saved creators (all, or one collection by name or id) with current follower and view numbers, plus the user's collections. Free. Good for building a shortlist, a report or a spreadsheet.

Input parameters:

- `collection` (string): Collection name or id. Omit for all saved creators.
- `limit` (integer)

### `get_account` (~52 tokens)

Account and credits

The user's Kolect plan, credit balance, today's free fake-follower checks and email unlocks, lookup limits, this key's daily credit limit, and their collections. Free. Check it before a large paid step.
