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 5 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 Usability79
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 629 tokens (~125/item across 5 items; 5 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 Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 6 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 ALT eSIM MCP server?
ALT eSIM is a hosted endpoint at https://altesim.com/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.

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 →
create_checkout ~195
Create a secure Stripe payment link for an Alt eSIM plan. Returns a payment URL the BUYER opens to pay (the agent never handles card details) AND a checkout_session_id. After the buyer pays, call get_qr_code with that checkout_session_id to fetch the eSIM QR and show it to the buyer. The QR is also emailed. Charged in USD. You MUST collect the buyer's real email.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| customer_code | string | – | Optional Alt customer code (format Alt-XXXXXXXX, shown on the buyer's altesim.com account page). If provided, the order is linked to that account and appears in its order history regardless of the de… |
| string | yes | Buyer's email — the eSIM QR code is also sent here. | |
| lang | string | – | Delivery email language (default 'en'). |
| sku_or_id | string | yes | The plan sku or id to buy. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_esim_plan ~73
Get one Alt eSIM plan by its sku or id. Returns full details: title, data amount, validity days, USD price, coverage carriers, product URL.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| sku_or_id | string | yes | The plan sku (e.g. 'eSIM_Alt_JP_1DG1') or id. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_qr_code ~141
Fetch the eSIM QR code(s) for an order, to show the buyer directly. Pass the checkout_session_id from create_checkout. Returns a clear `status`: 'awaiting_payment' (buyer has NOT paid — tell them to pay), 'processing' (paid, eSIM still provisioning — retry in ~30s), 'ready' (returns the QR image(s) + ICCID(s) to display), 'expired', 'refunded', or 'failed'. Use the status to tell the buyer exactly what's happening — never assume payment succeeded.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| checkout_session_id | string | yes | The checkout_session_id from create_checkout (Stripe session id). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_destinations ~43
List all Alt eSIM destinations (country/region slugs with English names and region). Use a slug as the 'country' argument for search_esim_plans.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_esim_plans ~135
Search Alt eSIM travel data plans. Filter by destination country slug (e.g. 'japan', 'usa', 'europe'), region, and/or max USD price. Returns plans with sku, data amount, validity days, USD price and coverage carriers. All prices are USD.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | Destination country/region slug, e.g. 'japan', 'south-korea', 'thailand', 'usa', 'europe'. Omit to list all. |
