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
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 406, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability87
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1407 tokens (~117/item across 12 items; 11 tools + 1 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 Management80
- Stability check failed: schema churn in the 30 days we've observed: 2 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 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 12 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 Nautilinks Backlinks MCP server?
Nautilinks Backlinks is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.nautilinks.co/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.

about About Nautilinks ~108
Use this when the user asks what Nautilinks does, how its backlink buying service works, or how an AI agent can use it. Explains the French owned backlink network sold direct, with no reseller, how a purchase flows (prepaid balance or human Stripe checkout -> article drafted & published), the three price shelves (Plancton 5 EUR, Corail 15 EUR, Nautilus 30 EUR), and how authentication works. Call this first if you're not sure what this service does.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
check_balance Check the prepaid balance ~54
Use this before create_order to return the prepaid balance available to this API key. create_order applies this balance after discounts: full coverage settles immediately, partial coverage reduces the human-approved Stripe remainder. Requires a Nautilinks API key.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
create_order Order backlinks ~326
Use this only when the user has selected placements and wants to place a backlink order. This can spend the account's prepaid balance immediately. Place an order for 1 to 20 backlinks across catalog sites. Each item can request a new dedicated article or an existing-article insertion, 0/1/3/5 tier-2 links, and an optional project tag, alongside target URL, anchor and brief. Use list_site_articles first to obtain article_id for an insertion. The better of the optional promo and welcome offer is applied, then prepaid credit. Full credit settles immediately; partial credit is held and Stripe charges only the remainder through a payment_url that a human has to open and pay before anything is fulfilled; surface that link and the total to your user and never imply the purchase is complete. Call check_balance first if you want to know which way it will go. A card is never charged without a human completing the checkout. Requires a Nautilinks API key with the 'order' scope.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| idempotency_key | string | – | Stable retry key. Reuse it after a timeout to get the same quote/session; a different body with the same key is rejected. |
| items | array | yes | 1 to 20 line items, one per backlink to purchase. |
| promo_code | string | – | Optional promotion or affiliate code. The API automatically compares it with the welcome offer and applies the better discount. |
| sandbox_credit_cents | integer | – | Sandbox keys only: simulated prepaid balance, in cents, for testing full-credit, mixed, and card-only outcomes. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_ai_visibility_plan Build order-ready items from an AI-visibility project ~83
Turn the latest uncited fan-out opportunities of one owned AI-visibility project into configured backlink items. This is read-only: it creates no cart, quote, charge or order. Review the returned items, then pass them to create_order to purchase them.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| project_id | – | yes | AI-visibility project id. The returned items can be passed directly to create_order. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_order_status Get per-link status for one order ~106
Use this when the user wants publication progress or the live URL for a specific order. Fetch the status of each backlink item as it moves through the fulfillment pipeline (to_assign -> assigned -> drafted -> in_review -> approved -> published -> verified), along with its anchor_text, target_url, and published_url once live. Requires a Nautilinks API key.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| order_id | – | yes | The order id, e.g. from list_orders or from a paid quote's get_quote_status result. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_quote_status Check whether a quote has been paid ~80
Use this after create_order returned a payment_url to check whether the user completed payment. Check whether the quote has been paid and get the resulting order_id once it has been converted to an order. Poll this after handing the payment_url to your user. Requires a Nautilinks API key.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| quote_id | – | yes | The quote_id returned by create_order. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_site Get full details for one catalog site ~86
Use this after search_sites when the user needs to evaluate one backlink placement before buying. Fetch the full catalog record for a single site by id: domain, niche, authority metrics, traffic, ranked keywords, price per link, price shelf, and any other published attributes. Requires a Nautilinks API key.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| site_id | – | yes | The catalog site id, as returned by search_sites. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_ai_visibility_projects List AI-visibility projects ~38
List the AI-visibility projects owned by this account. Use a returned project id with get_ai_visibility_plan to build order-ready backlink items.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_orders List past orders ~64
Use this when the user wants their Nautilinks order history or needs to find an order id. List orders placed with this API key, including overall status and totals. Use get_order_status on a specific order id for per-link detail. Requires a Nautilinks API key.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_site_articles List existing articles available for insertion ~97
