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 Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- 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 Usability70
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 636 tokens (~212/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management13
- Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the SKUit Network & Security Catalog MCP server?
SKUit Network & Security Catalog is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.skuit.ai/api/mcp/catalog, 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.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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 →
catalog_find_alternatives Find alternatives to a product ~164
Find published alternatives to a product named by part number or family (for example "Cisco 9300X" or "C9300X-48HX"): one class up, the same class, and one class down, all in the same role, same vendor first. Each alternative states the single dimension it was compared on, so present it as "comparable on <dimension>", not as a drop-in replacement. An ambiguous name returns the candidate families to choose from. Answers carry catalog_url (the public catalog page) and build_bom_url (Open in SKUit to build a full bill of materials; the builder requires a SKUit account).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| product | string | yes | A part number or a product family name, optionally prefixed by the vendor. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
catalog_get_platform Get a catalog platform ~90
Get the published facts for one platform by its exact platform id (as returned by the other catalog tools). Answers carry catalog_url (the public catalog page) and build_bom_url (Open in SKUit to build a full bill of materials; the builder requires a SKUit account).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| platform_id | string | yes | The exact platform id, e.g. "C9300X-48HX". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
catalog_search_platforms Search catalog platforms by port demand ~382
Find published platforms that can serve a port demand (for example 60×100G plus 4×400G for a data-center top-of-rack switch), closest fit first: fewest spare ports, then fewest rack units, then least capacity headroom. Each result explains the fit and lists caveats (breakout cables, a non-default port mode, port-pairing rules) that you should pass on to the user. Also reports how many platforms of the use case meet the demand, how many could not be evaluated, and the nearest misses when nothing fits. Answers carry catalog_url (the public catalog page) and build_bom_url (Open in SKUit to build a full bill of materials; the builder requires a SKUit account).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| form_factor | string | – | Only this form factor, e.g. "fixed" or "modular". |
| limit | integer | – | How many results (default 5, max 10). |
| max_rack_units | integer | – | Only platforms at most this many rack units tall. |
| poe_required | boolean | – | Only platforms that supply PoE. |
| port_requirements | array | yes | The ports needed, one row per speed. |
| use_case_id | string | yes | Deployment role: "campus-access" (Campus access layer), "dc-tor" (ToR & Leaf), "dc-core" (DC core / spine), "wan-edge" (WAN edge / branch), "smb" (SMB / small campus), "campus-dist" (Campus distribut… |
| vendors | array | – | Only these vendors. Case-insensitive, on whole words: "Juniper" matches "Juniper Networks". An unknown name is reported back with the vendors that do have platforms for the use case. |
