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 →
arxiv_search arXiv paper search ~217

dns_lookup DNS records + email security ~164
All DNS for a domain — A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, CAA, SOA — plus SPF and DMARC parsed and graded, so an agent knows where a domain points and whether its email can be spoofed. Queried live against public resolvers (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9). Email grade: SPF present and ending in -all/~all, DMARC present with p=quarantine/reject. When to use: For DNS records; for ownership dates use domain_whois; for certificates use tls_check. Price: free.

Crossref's open metadata (150M+ works). Search mode returns the top matches for a title/author query. When to use: For citation metadata of a known paper; to search preprints by topic use arxiv_search. Price: $0.001 per call (10 free/day; after that a payment-required result lists x402 options).

domain_whois Domain WHOIS / RDAP + availability ~176
Who registered a domain and when: registrar, creation/expiry dates, age, days to expiry, status locks, nameservers — or that it looks available to register. Uses RDAP, the registries' official successor to WHOIS (rdap.org bootstrap). A domain with no RDAP record and no DNS is reported as likely available. Young domains (< 30 days) are flagged: most phishing/scam sites are days old. When to use: For registration and expiry; for DNS records use dns_lookup. Price: $0.002 per call (10 free/day; after that a payment-required result lists x402 options). Errors: returns isError with a message for invalid input or an upstream failure (not charged).

email_check Email address check ~134
Will this email address work? Syntax, domain MX records, disposable/throwaway provider detection, role address (info@, admin@) and free-mail provider — without sending anything. No SMTP probing (that gets servers blacklisted); the verdict is from syntax, live MX lookup and a maintained list of ~100k disposable domains. Price: $0.001 per call (10 free/day; after that a payment-required result lists x402 options). Errors: returns isError with a message for invalid input or an upstream failure (not charged).

http_probe HTTP probe + security headers ~181

Use max_chars to bound the output. JavaScript-only pages return whatever the server sends (no headless browser). When to use: For a page's content; for its metadata only use web_meta; for uptime/redirects use http_probe. Price: $0.002 per call (10 free/day; after that a payment-required result lists x402 options). Errors: returns isError with a message for invalid input or an upstream failure (not charged).

Search + REST summary from Wikipedia. full=true returns the article as plain text (sections kept), capped by max_chars. Disambiguation pages are flagged with alternatives. When to use: For encyclopedic topics; for papers use arxiv_search or doi_lookup. Price: free. Errors: returns isError with a message for invalid input or an upstream failure (not charged).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

How do I install the A.U.G.U.R Foresight · Web & Research MCP server?
A.U.G.U.R Foresight · Web & Research is a hosted endpoint at https://augur-trade.com/foresight/mcp/web, 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.

What is the A.U.G.U.R Foresight · Web & Research MCP server?
A.U.G.U.R Foresight · Web & Research is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.augur-trade/foresight-web. Read the web (page text, DNS, WHOIS, TLS, uptime) + research (Wikipedia, arXiv, GitHub, packages). This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://augur-trade.com/foresight/mcp/web).
Is the A.U.G.U.R Foresight · Web & Research MCP server safe to use?
A.U.G.U.R Foresight · Web & Research scores 71 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the A.U.G.U.R Foresight · Web & Research MCP server expose?
A.U.G.U.R Foresight · Web & Research exposes 15 tools: web_read, web_meta, dns_lookup, domain_whois, tls_check, and 10 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,727 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the A.U.G.U.R Foresight · Web & Research MCP server require authentication?
Its publisher declares no required credentials for A.U.G.U.R Foresight · Web & Research. We have not been able to confirm that against the live endpoint, and a server can require authorisation without declaring it here.
Is the A.U.G.U.R Foresight · Web & Research MCP server still maintained?
A.U.G.U.R Foresight · Web & Research is still listed in the MCP registry, though our most recent checks did not reach this channel. We last reached this channel on 2 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
