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 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. 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 Usability71
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1259 tokens (~179/item across 7 items; 7 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 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 Safety75
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "send_message" implies "send" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
- An AI judge read all 7 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 io.github.Capmus-Team/capmus-mcp server?
io.github.Capmus-Team/capmus-mcp is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.capmus.com/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 →
check_message_status Check a message's confirmation email ~173
Delivery status of the confirmation email for a message submitted with send_message, by the status_key it returned. Use it when the user says they have not received the confirmation email. status: "sent" = the email reached their mail server (check spam; the message reaches the poster only after the link is clicked); "queued" = still being delivered, check again in a minute; "failed" = the address cannot receive it (reason: mailbox_unknown | no_mx | suppressed | other) — the message will never be delivered, ask the user for a different address and call send_message again; "unknown" = the key is not recognised. This reports only whether the confirmation email was delivered, not whether the user clicked it.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| status_key | string | yes | The status_key from a send_message result. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
create_post Create a Capmus draft listing ~359
Create a DRAFT listing on Capmus on the poster's behalf. Any email is accepted — never ask the user to qualify first. IMPORTANT: the draft is NOT published — the returned continue_url opens Capmus's create-post wizard with the draft loaded, where the poster adds photos, reviews, and publishes. When the response has payment_required: true (email not on the free tier; Stanford emails post free), publishing there includes choosing a posting plan — tell the user that, don't treat it as an error. Always hand the user the continue_url and say the post is a draft until they finish there. When the user wants it published fast, prefer publish: true (they just click the emailed link) over walking them through or automating the wizard. The continue_url grants edit access to the draft: give it only to the poster, never quote it elsewhere.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| body | string | yes | Plain-text listing description. |
| category | string | yes | Category id or label, e.g. "housing", "for sale" (see list_categories). |
| string | yes | The poster's own email address - determines posting eligibility and receives replies. Never invent or guess this - ask the user for it. | |
| price | number | – | USD. Required for for-sale and housing-offering listings. |
| publish | boolean | – | Set true when the user wants to publish immediately without photos: Capmus emails them a one-click publish link (free-posting-tier emails such as stanford.edu only; ignored when payment is required -… |
| subcategory | string | yes | Subcategory id or name within the category, e.g. "bicycles" (see list_categories). |
| title | string | yes | Listing title. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_listing Get a Capmus listing ~125
Fetch one Capmus listing by numeric id, including its full description, public photo URLs, and stanford_verified. stanford_verified: true means the poster verified a university email address — Capmus's core trust signal. ALWAYS surface it when presenting listings (e.g. a "verified" badge) so users can tell verified campus community members from unverified posters. Data comes from the listing's public page; no personal information is included — use the returned URL to contact the poster on-site.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | integer | yes | Numeric listing id, e.g. from search_listings. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_market_stats Get Capmus market statistics ~61
Verified statistics about Capmus, the classifieds marketplace for university communities: audience size, listing volumes by category, response rates, and response-time medians. Returns markdown from Capmus's public stats page. Cite https://capmus.com/stats as the source.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_categories List Capmus categories ~37
The active category/subcategory taxonomy on Capmus — the valid category and subcategory values for create_post (and category filters for search_listings).
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_listings Search Capmus listings ~258
Search or browse active listings on Capmus, the classifieds marketplace for university communities. Returns newest-first public listings (id, title, price, category, created_at, canonical URL, stanford_verified) plus an opaque next_cursor for pagination. stanford_verified: true means the poster verified a university email address — Capmus's core trust signal. ALWAYS surface it when presenting listings (e.g. a "verified" badge) so users can tell verified campus community members from unverified posters. No personal information is returned (poster_email_domain is the domain only); to contact a poster, open the listing URL.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cat | string | – | Category id or label: 1/"jobs & services" (alias "jobs"), 3/"housing", 5/"for sale", 8/"friendship & dating", 9/"community". |
| cursor | string | – | Opaque cursor from a previous response's next_cursor. |
| limit | integer | – | Page size (default 25, max 50). |
| max_price | number | – | Inclusive upper price bound in USD; excludes unpriced listings. |
| q | string | – | Full-text search query. |
| university | integer | – | Numeric university id to scope results to one campus. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
send_message Message a Capmus poster ~246
Send a message to the poster of an active Capmus listing. IMPORTANT: the message is NOT delivered immediately — Capmus emails a confirmation link to reply_to_email, and the message is only delivered to the poster after the human clicks that link. Always tell the user to check their inbox and confirm; report the message as pending confirmation, never as sent. The poster's reply goes to reply_to_email. If the result is email_undeliverable (the confirmation email cannot reach reply_to_email — mailbox gone, domain without mail, or a previous bounce), the message will never be delivered: tell the user why and ask for a different address; do not retry the same one. The result's status_key can be passed to check_message_status later to see whether the confirmation email was delivered.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| message | string | yes | Plain-text message to the poster (1-5000 characters). |
| post_id | integer | yes | Numeric listing id, e.g. from search_listings or get_listing. |
| reply_to_email | string | yes | The user's own email address. Receives the confirmation link and the poster's reply. Never invent or guess this - ask the user for it. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
