Endpoint Security74
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability70
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 353 tokens (~353/item across 1 items; 1 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 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
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 1 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
Install

How do I install the OctoTrip Rental Cars MCP server?

OctoTrip Rental Cars is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.octotrip.app/rental-cars/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.

MCP tools · 1 exposed · ~353 tokens

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
search ~353

Searches live rental-car offers for a pickup location and rental period, optionally with a different dropoff location, pickup/dropoff times, driver age, currency, and language. Use this when the user wants to compare available rental cars, prices, vendors, categories, or booking links for a specific trip. Do not use it for flights, hotels, public transport, or general travel planning unless the user has car-rental intent. The tool queries external provider APIs in real time, returns price-ranked results grouped by SIPP/category, and may include affiliate booking links. It does not book cars, modify reservations, charge users, or store user data.
