Endpoint Security57
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability66
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 36159 tokens (~203/item across 178 items; 178 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
  • Stability check failed: schema churn in the 30 days we've observed: 0 tool removals, 1 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
  • We read all 178 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 179 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

Install

How do I install the io.github.CDCStream/captapi MCP server?

io.github.CDCStream/captapi is a hosted endpoint at https://api.captapi.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.
