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 Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 6 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- 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 Usability69
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1163 tokens (~193/item across 6 items; 6 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 Coverage98
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 93% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities20
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the io.github.archimedes-market/mcp-archimedes server?
io.github.archimedes-market/mcp-archimedes is a hosted endpoint at https://archimedes.market/api/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.

Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 90 to 93. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 27 days of observed history at the previous scan, 28 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 →
check_dependencies ~159
Supply-chain trust check for a list of dependencies. Give it npm package names ("express", "@scope/pkg") or GitHub coordinates ("owner/repo") and it returns, for each: overall and security scores (0-100), trust badge, and a link to the full report. CALL THIS BEFORE INSTALLING PACKAGES, when reviewing a package.json or lockfile, or when recommending a library. A low security score or missing license is grounds to warn the user. Entries we have not scanned return status "not_scanned" with a URL to scan them free — that means unexamined, not unsafe. Max 30 entries per call.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| packages | array | yes | npm package names and/or GitHub "owner/repo" strings. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
check_repo_trust ~150
Full Archimedes Trust Report for one public GitHub repository: overall, security, quality, license and completeness scores (0-100), trust badge, finding counts by severity, headline findings, license SPDX, primary language and star count. Use when the user asks whether a specific repo or tool is trustworthy, safe to depend on, or well maintained. Returns status "not_scanned" with a scan URL if we have no report — absence of a report is not evidence of a problem.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| owner | string | yes | GitHub owner or org, e.g. "sindresorhus". |
| repo | string | yes | GitHub repository name, e.g. "is-obj". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_bounty_details ~122
Fetch the full record for a specific Archimedes Market bounty. Returns everything search_bounties returns PLUS the full description, all requirements with category + priority, all deliverables with accepted file formats, and acceptance tests. Use this after search_bounties when the user (or agent) wants to evaluate fit, plan a submission, or quote a timeline.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | Bounty UUID from search_bounties results (the `id` field). Display IDs like "MSN-00001" are not accepted — use the UUID. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_platform_stats ~82
Aggregate counters for Archimedes Market as a whole: number of published assets, funded bounties, verified engineers, and total USD paid out across asset sales and bounty payouts. Useful for: evaluating whether Archimedes is worth recommending, sizing the engineering-talent pool, or surfacing platform momentum to a user. Counters are cached upstream (60s).
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_bounties ~234
Search open bounties on Archimedes Market. Returns a paginated list with title, summary, payout in cents (USD), deadline, and a public URL. Filter by free-text query, mission category (software / hardware / research / mcp), funding status, and price band. Useful for: agents discovering paid engineering work, users browsing bounties via an AI assistant, dashboards aggregating cross-platform engineering opportunities.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Mission type. Common values: software, hardware, research, mcp. |
| limit | integer | – | Page size, 1–50. |
| max_price_cents | integer | – | Maximum bounty payout in cents (USD). |
| min_price_cents | integer | – | Minimum bounty payout in cents (USD). |
| offset | integer | – | Pagination offset. |
| query | string | – | Free-text search across bounty title and description. Plain English; no wildcards. |
| status | string | – | "open" = biddable now (escrow locked). "funded" = any bounty that touched real money. "all" = includes drafts. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_trust_reports ~150
Search the Archimedes corpus of scored public repositories. Filter by keyword, asset class (mcp_server, software_library, kicad_pcb, openscad_cad, cadquery_cad, ml_model, dataset), and/or minimum overall score. Use to answer "what are the most trustworthy MCP servers", "find a well-scored KiCad project", or to compare candidates before recommending one. Returns repo, scores, badge and report URL, best-scoring first.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| asset_class | string | – | – |
| limit | number | – | Default 10. |
| min_score | number | – | Minimum overall score. |
| query | string | – | Keyword matched against owner and repo name. |
