Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 14 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability68
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2509 tokens (~179/item across 14 items; 14 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage98
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 93% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 14 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 15 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
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 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 →
check_url Check Any URL's Agentic Readiness ~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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | Full 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 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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | 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… |
| limit | integer | – | Max results (default 10, max 20) |
| query | string | – | Optional keyword to narrow results (e.g. 'payments', 'jobs', 'weather') |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_site_details Get Site Agentic Readiness Report ~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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | yes | Domain to look up (e.g. 'stripe.com'). Do not include scheme or path. |
| search_id | string | – | 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 Get Index 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 Get Top Scored 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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | 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… |
| limit | integer | – | Max results (default 10, max 50) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
handoff_provider_action Continue Through an NHS-Observed Provider Handoff ~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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| attribution_token | string | yes | Exact bearer returned by prepare_provider_action; NHS does not store the raw token. |
| controlled_intent_disclosure_consent_version | string | – | https://nothumansearch.ai/privacy#controlled-intent-disclosure-consent-v1; required only when the optional disclosure consent is true. |
| handoff_consent_version | string | yes | https://nothumansearch.ai/privacy#handoff-consent-v1 |
| principal_controlled_intent_disclosure_consent | boolean | – | 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_consent | boolean | yes | Caller attests the principal authorized the separate observed handoff under the exact published wording. |
| ticket_id | string | yes | Action ticket ID returned by prepare_provider_action. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_categories List Index 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 Prepare an Authorization-Attested Provider Action Ticket ~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
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| budget_band | string | – | – |
| consent_version | string | yes | https://nothumansearch.ai/privacy#consent-v1 |
| demand_topic | string | yes | One controlled topic already present on the referenced search receipt. |
| offer_id | string | yes | Provider-funded offer ID returned separately beside a receipt-bearing NHS discovery result. |
| principal_consent | boolean | yes | Caller attests that the human/company principal authorized this ticket preparation under the published versioned wording. |
| region_code | string | – | Optional uppercase ISO country or country-region code. |
| requirement_flags | array | – | – |
| search_id | string | yes | Discovery receipt proving the provider appeared organically. |
| urgency | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
recent_additions Recently Indexed Agent-First Sites ~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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | 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… |
| days | integer | – | Look back window in days (default 7, max 90) |
| limit | integer | – | Max results (default 10, max 50) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
record_action_interest Record Caller-Attested 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
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| action_type | string | yes | The one next step the principal currently wants. |
| caller_attests_principal_interest | boolean | yes | Caller attests current principal interest under the exact published v1 wording; this is not authority to contact the provider. |
| confirmation_version | string | yes | https://nothumansearch.ai/privacy#action-interest-v1 |
| domain | string | yes | Bare domain that appeared in the referenced organic results; no scheme or path. |
| search_id | string | yes | Committed privacy-safe receipt returned by a receipt-bearing NHS discovery tool. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
register_monitor Monitor a Site's Agentic Readiness ~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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | yes | Domain to monitor (no scheme, e.g. 'stripe.com') |
| string | yes | Email address to receive alert |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_agents Search the Agentic Web ~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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | 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_api | boolean | – | Only return sites with a documented structured API |
| has_llms_txt | boolean | – | Only return sites that publish an llms.txt file (LLM-first site summary) |
| has_mcp | boolean | – | Only return sites that expose an MCP server |
| has_openapi | boolean | – | Only return sites with a published OpenAPI / Swagger spec |
| limit | integer | – | Max results (default 10, max 20) |
| min_score | integer | – | Minimum agentic readiness score 0-100 (higher = more agent-ready) |
| query | string | – | Keyword query (e.g. 'payment API', 'weather data', 'job board') |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
submit_site Submit a Site for Indexing ~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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | Full 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 Verify MCP Endpoint ~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}.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | Full URL of the MCP endpoint to probe (include scheme, e.g. 'https://example.com/mcp'). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
