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 Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (audiala_contact_team). See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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 Usability78
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1022 tokens (~204/item across 5 items; 4 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 Management88
- 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 Coverage92
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 71% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 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
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass
How do I install the Audiala MCP server?
Audiala is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.audiala.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 →
audiala_audio_guide Audio guide for a place ~172
Look up the Audiala audio guide for a specific landmark, museum or place in a city (44,000+ places). Shows a card with a photo, a short summary and a playable 45-second preview of the narration, plus a link that opens the full guide in the Audiala app (first city free, then 3 free audio guides a month; works offline). If the place is not found, returns the closest guides in that city. Use this whenever a user asks about a specific landmark or wants to hear about it.

audiala_contact_team Contact the Audiala team ~445
Reach the Audiala team — investor introductions, partnership / B2B / city-licensing inquiries, press, hiring questions, support, or anything else. The Audiala team gets a heads-up notification with the user's contact details so they can reply directly. **Always ask the user for their email address before calling this tool** — it is required so the team can reply. Optionally also collect their name and organization. Before calling, show the user the exact email, name, organization and purpose to be shared with Audiala and ask for explicit approval to send them. Set confirmed=true only after that approval; supplying an email alone is not approval. The tool returns the right Audiala mailbox, the founder's LinkedIn, and a suggested intro template the user can adapt if they want to reach out themselves as well.

audiala_plan_trip Plan a trip in Audiala ~134
Hand a trip-planning request to Audiala's trip planner. Shows the city's must-see places (each with an audio guide) and a button into Audiala's day-by-day planner for that city: the browser planner on a computer, or the city in the Audiala mobile app, where the planner starts. This tool does NOT return an itinerary — the planner builds it with the user's pace and interests. Call this when a user asks to plan a trip to a city.
