Endpoint Security46
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 388 tokens (~48/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • 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 Coverage67
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 8 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 io.github.capitalthought/customs-dog-mcp server?

io.github.capitalthought/customs-dog-mcp is a hosted endpoint at https://customs.dog/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 · 8 exposed · ~388 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
customs_check_rules ~71

Per-destination pet border-entry requirements — NO account needed. What documents a dog needs to enter a country and re-enter the US. Use this to answer 'what does my pet need to travel to X?' for anyone. Omit `destination` to list every corridor.
