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 Security83
- 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 is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1682 tokens (~420/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Tools include usage examples.Pass
Stability & Change Management3
- Stability observed for 1 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
- 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
- All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

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 →
get_feedback_reply Read maintainer reply to feedback ~70

indexnow_check Check IndexNow key file and sitemap ~500
Checks a site's IndexNow setup and submits nothing. Use it when the user asks whether their IndexNow key file works, which URLs would be submitted, or how to start with IndexNow, for example "is my IndexNow key set up on example.com?". Pass site and key; leave key out to get a new key and the file to publish. Returns the key file verdict with the exact fix, the sitemap found (robots.txt, index, gzip), how many URLs qualify, why others are left out, a sample, and the next step. Protocol: https://www.indexnow.org/documentation. Do not use it for a site the user does not own, or to read a site's content.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| batch | integer | – | Optional, default 1. When more URLs qualify than one submit takes, batch 2 is the next slice of the newest-first list, and so on; urls.batches says how many there are. |
| changed_since | string | – | Optional YYYY-MM-DD. Only sitemap URLs whose lastmod is on or after this day; URLs with no lastmod are left out. |
| key | string | – | The site's IndexNow key, 8 to 128 letters, digits or dashes. Leave it out to get a new key and the exact file to publish. |

| max_urls | integer | – | Optional URLs per submit, default 10,000. When more URLs qualify, the newest lastmod goes first and the rest wait for the next batch. |
| path_prefix | string | – | Optional path start, such as /blog/. Only URLs under it. |

Use it when the user asks to submit their sitemap or changed pages to Bing, Yandex or IndexNow, for example "submit the pages that changed this week on example.com". Pass site and key; optional changed_since, path_prefix, sitemap or urls. It reads the key file first and sends nothing unless the file holds exactly the key.

At most 10,000 URLs per submit; pass batch 2, 3 and on for the rest. Limits: one submit per site every 60 seconds, and the same batch once every 5 minutes. Accepted is not indexed.
