- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 7 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 59/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2263 tokens (~323/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (7)

### `compare_selling_costs` (~617 tokens)

Compare trading-card seller proceeds across selling methods

Compare estimated fees and the net amount a trading-card seller keeps when selling the SAME card across eBay (estimated), Pulltrader selling methods (marketplace, Fulfilled by Pulltrader, branded storefront, and in-person POS), and other marketplaces (TCGplayer, Mana Pool, Misprint, Fanatics Collect, Goldin — estimated fixed-price/Buy Now seller fees). Use this when a seller asks what they would keep/net/take-home on a sale, how fees compare between platforms, or which method leaves them with more money. Calculations are deterministic and use dated fee schedules. Competitor marketplaces are off by default; include them via the `methods` field. Only fixed-price seller fees are modeled — auction formats (hammer price, buyer's premium, negotiated consignment) are not. Do NOT use this to look up a card's market value or recent sales (this tool does not price cards), and do NOT use it for non-trading-card categories. Present competitor and eBay figures as estimates, never as guaranteed proceeds, and never claim one platform is universally cheapest.

Input parameters:

- `acquisition_cost` (number): Optional. What the seller paid for the card; used to estimate net profit per method.
- `currency` (string): ISO currency code. Only USD is supported.
- `ebay_fee_percent_override` (number): Optional. Override the estimated eBay final value fee percentage (e.g. for a seller with an eBay Store subscription).
- `ebay_store_subscription` (boolean): If true, estimate eBay fees using the eBay Store subscriber rate (12.35% up to $2,500/item) instead of the individual rate (13.25% up to $7,500/item).
- `item_category` (string): Item category. Only trading_cards is supported.
- `methods` (array): Which selling methods to compare. Defaults to eBay, Pulltrader marketplace, and Pulltrader storefront. Other supported methods (off by default): pulltrader_fbp, pulltrader_pos, and estimated competit…
- `quantity` (integer): Number of identical items in one order. Per-order fixed fees are applied once.
- `sale_price` (number, required): The per-item sale price (the card's listed/sold price), in the given currency.
- `seller_covers_fees` (boolean): If true, the seller absorbs the Pulltrader platform fee (3.25% + $0.40). If false (default), the buyer pays it at checkout. The platform fee is always charged on Pulltrader card sales regardless.
- `seller_plan` (string): Pulltrader seller plan. Determines the marketplace payout tier (free=91%, starter=93%, pro=94%, shop=95%).
- `shipping_amount` (number): Shipping amount charged to the buyer. Affects eBay's fee base. See assumptions for how each method treats shipping.

### `calculate_required_sale_price` (~551 tokens)

Find the sale price needed to reach a target net payout

Given a target take-home amount, compute the per-item sale price a trading-card seller must list at to net that amount on ONE selling method, after fees — eBay (estimated), a Pulltrader selling method (marketplace, Fulfilled by Pulltrader, branded storefront, in-person POS), or an estimated competitor marketplace (TCGplayer, Mana Pool, Misprint, Fanatics Collect, Goldin). If acquisition_cost is supplied, the target is treated as net profit (payout minus what you paid); otherwise it is the take-home payout. Use this when a seller asks 'what do I need to list this at to walk away with $X', 'to net/profit $X after fees', or 'to break even'. Calculations are deterministic and use dated fee schedules. Do NOT use this to look up a card's market value or recent sales (this tool does not price cards), and do NOT use it for non-trading-card categories. Present eBay and competitor figures as estimates, never as guaranteed proceeds.

Input parameters:

- `acquisition_cost` (number): Optional. What the seller paid for the card. When supplied, target_net is interpreted as net profit (payout minus this cost).
- `currency` (string): ISO currency code. Only USD is supported.
- `ebay_fee_percent_override` (number): Optional. Override the estimated eBay final value fee percentage.
- `ebay_store_subscription` (boolean): If true, estimate eBay fees using the eBay Store subscriber rate instead of the individual rate.
- `item_category` (string): Item category. Only trading_cards is supported.
- `method` (string): The single selling method to solve for. One of: ebay, pulltrader_marketplace, pulltrader_fbp, pulltrader_storefront, pulltrader_pos, tcgplayer, manapool, misprint, fanatics_collect, goldin.
- `quantity` (integer): Number of identical items in one order. Per-order fixed fees are applied once.
- `seller_covers_fees` (boolean): If true, the seller absorbs the Pulltrader platform fee (3.25% + $0.40). If false (default), the buyer pays it at checkout.
- `seller_plan` (string): Pulltrader seller plan. Determines the marketplace payout tier (free=91%, starter=93%, pro=94%, shop=95%).
- `shipping_amount` (number): Shipping amount charged to the buyer. Affects eBay's fee base.
- `target_net` (number, required): The amount the seller wants to keep per item after fees. Net profit if acquisition_cost is supplied, otherwise take-home payout.

### `explain_selling_method` (~224 tokens)

Explain how a supported selling method works and what fees apply

Return a plain, structured explanation of one or more supported trading-card selling methods: who owns the listing, who fulfills, where it sells, the fee components that apply, and important caveats. Covers eBay (estimated), Pulltrader marketplace, Fulfilled by Pulltrader, branded storefront, in-person POS, and estimated competitor marketplaces (TCGplayer, Mana Pool, Misprint, Fanatics Collect, Goldin). Use this when a seller asks how a method works, what fees a platform charges, or how Pulltrader selling options differ. Do NOT use this to compute a specific payout (use compare_selling_costs) or the price needed for a target net (use calculate_required_sale_price), and do NOT use it to price cards.

Input parameters:

- `methods` (array): Which selling methods to explain. Defaults to all supported methods: ebay, pulltrader_marketplace, pulltrader_fbp, pulltrader_storefront, pulltrader_pos, tcgplayer, manapool, misprint, fanatics_colle…

### `identify_card` (~128 tokens)

Identify a trading card from a text description

Resolve a natural-language trading-card description into structured fields (player/athlete, year, set, card number, parallel, grader, grade, sport/category). Use this first when a user names a card in prose and you need its canonical fields before looking up sales or market value. Returns a confidence level and which fields were resolved. This does NOT price the card or return sales — use search_card_sales or summarize_card_market for that. Trading cards only.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): The card description to identify, e.g. '2018 Prizm Luka Doncic Silver PSA 10'.

### `search_card_sales` (~204 tokens)

Find recent comparable sold sales for a trading card

Return a capped sample of recent comparable SOLD listings for a trading card (price + sale date), plus a market snapshot (median, range, sample size). Use this when a user asks 'what is this card selling for', 'recent sales', or 'comps'. Accepts a natural-language `query` or a structured `item`. Figures are estimates from recent sales and exclude fees/taxes/shipping; this is not financial advice and does not place orders. Trading cards only.

Input parameters:

- `item` (object): Structured card fields (alternative to query): player_athlete, year_manufactured, set_name, card_number, parallel_variety, grader, grade, sport.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of example sales to return (1–10).
- `query` (string): Natural-language card description, e.g. '2023 Panini Prizm Victor Wembanyama #136 Silver PSA 10'. Either query or item is required.

### `summarize_card_market` (~187 tokens)

Summarize the current market for a trading card

Return a canonical market summary for a trading card from recent comparable sales: median, mean, 10th–90th percentile range, volatility, and a confidence level based on sample size and dispersion. Use this when a user asks 'what's it worth', 'market value', or 'how volatile is this card'. Accepts a natural-language `query` or a structured `item`. Estimates from recent sales, excluding fees/taxes/shipping; not financial advice. Trading cards only.

Input parameters:

- `item` (object): Structured card fields (alternative to query): player_athlete, year_manufactured, set_name, card_number, parallel_variety, grader, grade, sport.
- `query` (string): Natural-language card description, e.g. '2023 Panini Prizm Victor Wembanyama #136 Silver PSA 10'. Either query or item is required.

### `get_card_price_history` (~211 tokens)

Get the price history time series for a trading card

Return a chart-ready price-history series for a trading card, aggregated from recent comparable sold sales into day/week/month buckets with a median per bucket and an overall trend. Use this when a user asks 'how has the price changed', 'price over time', 'is it trending up or down', or wants a chart. Accepts a natural-language `query` or a structured `item`. Series is built from sold-sale samples (and vendor TCG history when available); estimates only, not financial advice. Trading cards only.

Input parameters:

- `interval` (string): Bucket size for the series. Defaults to week.
- `item` (object): Structured card fields (alternative to query): player_athlete, year_manufactured, set_name, card_number, parallel_variety, grader, grade, sport.
- `query` (string): Natural-language card description, e.g. '2023 Panini Prizm Victor Wembanyama #136 Silver PSA 10'. Either query or item is required.
