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 Security66
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (sonar_delete_tracked_keyword). See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability74
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 7595 tokens (~146/item across 52 items; 52 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 Management98
- Stability check failed: schema churn in the 30 days we've observed: 1 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 0 additions. See how to fix → Fail
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
- All 6 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 52 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 app.trysonar/sonar MCP server?
app.trysonar/sonar is a hosted endpoint at https://trysonar.app/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 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 →
sonar_add_screenshot Add Screenshot ~70
Append a screen to a screenshot set (at the end; reorder with sonar_update_screenshot_set). Requires an authorized Sonar account or a write-scope API key.

The detected alert events for your workspace, newest first — the same feed as the in-app Recent Alerts panel and the email digest: rank drops/gains, top-10 entries/exits, new rankings, rating drops, review spikes, and competitor changes, each with a type-specific payload (app/keyword names, old vs new values). Events only exist for alert types you've enabled rules for (sonar_set_alert); detection runs once daily. Poll with `since` to react to changes programmatically. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts).

Requires a paid (non-trial) Indie plan and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| app_id | string | yes | Sonar app UUID of YOUR OWN tracked app to analyze. NOT a store id, NOT a competitor id. |

sonar_app_overview App Overview (Dashboard Scoreboard) ~186
The dashboard's computed scoreboard for one of your apps in a single call: visibility index and share of voice (with 7-day deltas and a daily spark), ranked / top-10 keyword counts with movement, best rank, the biggest 7-day improvements and drops, the rank-distribution trend, and the actionable opportunity list (near_page_one / top_three_push / easy_target). Read this FIRST when asked how an app is doing — it's the same numbers the dashboard renders, so you don't need to recompute anything from raw rank history. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| app_id | string | yes | Sonar app UUID of one of your own tracked apps — the `id` returned by sonar_list_apps or sonar_create_product. NOT a store id. |

sonar_app_rankings App Rank History ~264
Rank history for an app's tracked keywords — daily ranks over the requested window, one history array per keyword. Prefer observations for daily status: ranked has a numeric rank; not_found means a completed search did not return the app (results_count is the returned search size); not_observed means no confirmed check, including legacy gaps. Never interpret an absent rank as a collection failure or assign a numeric rank to it. The legacy history array contains positive ranks only.

sonar_generate_review_insights Generate Review Insights (AI) ~173
WRITE tool — generates a fresh AI review analysis for a tracked app from its recent reviews (praise/complaint themes, sentiment, feature requests, trend vs the previous run).

Requires a paid (non-trial) Indie plan and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| app_id | string | yes | Sonar app UUID of a tracked app — your own or a competitor (an `id` from sonar_list_apps). NOT a store id. |
| country | string | – | Reviews market (ISO country code). Insights are generated per country. Default "us". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.

sonar_keyword_metrics Keyword Metrics ~247
Difficulty + popularity for a specific keyword (or up to 25 in bulk). Use this when you already know which keywords you care about — costs 1 credit per keyword. Works without an API key for up to 5 keywords/day (free tier, per IP); an API key removes that cap. Use sonar_keyword_search instead when you want related keyword ideas alongside metrics. A keyword the API cannot compute right away comes back as `pending` (queued on the scrape fleet, not charged) — this tool already waits and re-checks briefly; if it is still pending, call again after `retry_after_seconds`.

|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g. "us", "gb", "de"). Default "us". |

Use to see what's rising in a market or category. Note: summary, movers and droppedApps always describe the full top 200 — `limit` truncates the returned entries only.

| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g. "us"). Optional — defaults server-side. |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
sonar_track_keywords Track Keywords ~194

Idempotent: re-posting the same terms reports them as already_tracked instead of creating duplicates. Returns per-keyword outcomes (created / already_tracked / failed). Requires an Indie plan (trial counts) and an authorized Sonar account or an API key with the write scope.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| app_id | string | yes | Sonar app UUID — the `apps[].id` returned by sonar_create_product (or sonar_track_app). NOT a store id; the store is implied by the app. |
