Install

How do I install the Not Human Search MCP server?

Not Human Search is a hosted endpoint at https://nothumansearch.ai/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
check_url ~154

On-demand agentic-readiness check for any URL. Runs the NHS 7-signal crawler live (llms.txt, ai-plugin.json, OpenAPI, structured API, MCP server, robots.txt AI rules, Schema.org) and returns a score 0-100 with per-signal breakdown. Use before calling an unfamiliar API to confirm it's agent-usable. Re-runnable without the submissions-table side-effect of submit_site — ideal for verify-before-use workflows.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyesFull URL or bare domain (e.g. 'stripe.com' or 'https://stripe.com'). Homepage works best — NHS probes the /.well-known/ paths, /robots.txt, /llms.txt relative to the site root.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

find_mcp_servers ~171

List sites in the index that expose a live MCP server, ranked by agentic readiness. The result set carries a query-free discovery receipt and any eligible provider-funded actions appear separately without changing organic order. Pairs naturally with verify_mcp for a probe-before-use workflow.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystring–Filter by public category (ai-tools, developer, data, finance, ecommerce, jobs, security, health, education, communication, productivity, news). Audit-only buckets may appear in /api/v1/categories as…
limitinteger–Max results (default 10, max 20)
querystring–Optional keyword to narrow results (e.g. 'payments', 'jobs', 'weather')

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_site_details ~178

Get the full agentic readiness report for a specific domain: score, category, all 7 signal checks (llms.txt, ai-plugin.json, OpenAPI, structured API, MCP server, robots.txt AI rules, Schema.org), plus any cached llms.txt content and OpenAPI summary. When an exact search_id newly records this organic-result selection, the response also carries an optional record_action_interest opportunity for this domain. Selection alone is never interest and never contacts the provider.

NameTypeReqDescription
domainstringyesDomain to look up (e.g. 'stripe.com'). Do not include scheme or path.
search_idstring–Optional receipt returned by a receipt-bearing NHS discovery tool. If this domain was returned, NHS records a detail selection and may return a separate, noncommercial action-interest opportunity req…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_stats ~53

Current Not Human Search index stats: total sites, average agentic score, top category, sites added in the last 7 days, count of sites exposing an MCP server, and count scoring a perfect 100/100.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_top_sites ~155

Get the highest-scored agent-ready sites in the index, optionally filtered by category. Organic order is always readiness-score order. A supported category creates a query-free discovery receipt that can support separately disclosed provider-funded actions and explicit action interest; unfiltered browsing stays free and does not enter the Stage 1 demand cohort.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystring–Filter by public category (ai-tools, developer, data, finance, ecommerce, jobs, security, health, education, communication, productivity, news). Audit-only buckets may appear in /api/v1/categories as…
limitinteger–Max results (default 10, max 50)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

handoff_provider_action ~312

Present the exact ticket bearer returned by prepare_provider_action. NHS records one privacy-safe handoff receipt, then returns the attributed provider action URL. Optionally and separately, the principal may authorize the exact DNS-verified provider to resolve only the ticket's controlled topic, region, USD budget band, urgency, and allowlisted requirement flags. Declining that optional disclosure does not block the handoff. No query, contact detail, agent/principal identity, network address, referrer, or user-agent is disclosed. The handoff and resolver charge neither party; only the provider's configured downstream outcome can create a provider charge.

NameTypeReqDescription
attribution_tokenstringyesExact bearer returned by prepare_provider_action; NHS does not store the raw token.
controlled_intent_disclosure_consent_versionstring–https://nothumansearch.ai/privacy#controlled-intent-disclosure-consent-v1; required only when the optional disclosure consent is true.
handoff_consent_versionstringyeshttps://nothumansearch.ai/privacy#handoff-consent-v1
principal_controlled_intent_disclosure_consentboolean–Optional separate authorization for the exact DNS-verified provider to resolve the bounded controlled-intent bundle after handoff. False or omitted does not block handoff.
principal_handoff_consentbooleanyesCaller attests the principal authorized the separate observed handoff under the exact published wording.
ticket_idstringyesAction ticket ID returned by prepare_provider_action.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_categories ~53

List all categories in the Not Human Search index with site counts and average agentic scores. Use this to understand what kinds of agent-ready services exist before searching — counts are live, so the distribution shifts as the index grows.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

prepare_provider_action ~260

Prepare a signed action ticket for a separately disclosed provider-funded offer returned beside a receipt-bearing NHS discovery result. This step never returns the provider action URL or records a handoff. It requires the discovery receipt and the caller's explicit ticket-authorization attestation. It accepts controlled constraints only—no name, email, contact detail, raw prompt, agent identity, or principal identity fields. Discovery and direct provider access remain free; preparing a ticket charges neither party. Exact v1 wording: https://nothumansearch.ai/privacy#consent-v1

NameTypeReqDescription
budget_bandstring––
consent_versionstringyeshttps://nothumansearch.ai/privacy#consent-v1
demand_topicstringyesOne controlled topic already present on the referenced search receipt.
offer_idstringyesProvider-funded offer ID returned separately beside a receipt-bearing NHS discovery result.
principal_consentbooleanyesCaller attests that the human/company principal authorized this ticket preparation under the published versioned wording.
region_codestring–Optional uppercase ISO country or country-region code.
requirement_flagsarray––
search_idstringyesDiscovery receipt proving the provider appeared organically.
urgencystring––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

recent_additions ~168

List agent-ready sites newly added to the Not Human Search index, sorted newest first. A supported category creates a query-free discovery receipt that can support separately disclosed provider-funded actions and explicit action interest; unfiltered catalog watching stays free and does not enter the Stage 1 demand cohort.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystring–Filter by public category (ai-tools, developer, data, finance, ecommerce, jobs, security, health, education, communication, productivity, news). Audit-only buckets may appear in /api/v1/categories as…
daysinteger–Look back window in days (default 7, max 90)
limitinteger–Max results (default 10, max 50)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

record_action_interest ~241

Record the caller's attestation that its human or company principal currently wants one controlled next step with a site returned organically by a receipt-bearing NHS discovery tool. This creates a private Stage 1 demand receipt that expires with the source discovery receipt, no later than 30 days after it. It does not contact the provider, create an action ticket or charge, change rank or score, or count as commercial proof. No query, contact data, free-form text, or agent/principal identity is accepted. Exact v1 wording: https://nothumansearch.ai/privacy#action-interest-v1

NameTypeReqDescription
action_typestringyesThe one next step the principal currently wants.
caller_attests_principal_interestbooleanyesCaller attests current principal interest under the exact published v1 wording; this is not authority to contact the provider.
confirmation_versionstringyeshttps://nothumansearch.ai/privacy#action-interest-v1
domainstringyesBare domain that appeared in the referenced organic results; no scheme or path.
search_idstringyesCommitted privacy-safe receipt returned by a receipt-bearing NHS discovery tool.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

register_monitor ~105

Register an email to get alerted when the indicated domain's agentic readiness score drops. Useful for agents tracking a dependency's agent-readiness health — e.g. an agent that relies on stripe.com's MCP surface wants to know the moment it regresses. Returns an unsubscribe URL. Multiple monitors per email allowed, one per domain.

NameTypeReqDescription
domainstringyesDomain to monitor (no scheme, e.g. 'stripe.com')
emailstringyesEmail address to receive alert

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_agents ~284

Search for websites, APIs, and services that AI agents can actually use. Results are ranked by agentic readiness score (0-100) based on llms.txt, OpenAPI specs, ai-plugin.json, structured APIs, and MCP server availability. Use this to discover payment APIs, job boards, data sources, or any web service your agent needs to call.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystring–Filter by public category (ai-tools, developer, data, finance, ecommerce, jobs, security, health, education, communication, productivity, news). Audit-only buckets may appear in /api/v1/categories as…
has_apiboolean–Only return sites with a documented structured API
has_llms_txtboolean–Only return sites that publish an llms.txt file (LLM-first site summary)
has_mcpboolean–Only return sites that expose an MCP server
has_openapiboolean–Only return sites with a published OpenAPI / Swagger spec
limitinteger–Max results (default 10, max 20)
min_scoreinteger–Minimum agentic readiness score 0-100 (higher = more agent-ready)
querystring–Keyword query (e.g. 'payment API', 'weather data', 'job board')

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

submit_site ~154

Submit a URL for NHS to crawl and score. Use when you discover an agent-first tool, API, or service that isn't in the index yet. NHS will fetch the site, check its 7 agentic signals (llms.txt, ai-plugin.json, OpenAPI, structured API, MCP server, robots.txt AI rules, Schema.org), compute a score, and add it to the index. The site becomes searchable within a few seconds if the crawl succeeds.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyesFull URL to submit (include scheme, e.g. 'https://example.com'). Homepage is best — NHS will check /.well-known/ paths, /robots.txt, /llms.txt, etc. relative to the site root.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verify_mcp ~106

Actively probe any URL to check if it is a live, spec-compliant MCP server. Sends a JSON-RPC tools/list request and verifies a valid response. Use this before depending on a third-party MCP endpoint — manifests and documentation can claim MCP support without actually serving it. Returns {verified: true/false, endpoint, note}.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyesFull URL of the MCP endpoint to probe (include scheme, e.g. 'https://example.com/mcp').

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
