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 Security46
- 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 3 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 check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability82
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 236 tokens (~78/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- 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 Safety75
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "drop_index" implies "drop" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities20
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the Drop Index MCP server?
Drop Index is a hosted endpoint at https://index.dropwatchhq.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 →
drop_index ~107
Return the live restock index for a niche: which tracked items are restocking now, recently dropped, or low stock, across the indie shops we poll. Use to see real-time availability signals. niche must be one of: tcg, lego, funko, keebs, vinyl, aqua.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| niche | string | yes | Niche key, e.g. 'tcg', 'lego', 'funko', 'keebs', 'vinyl', 'aqua'. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_niches ~29
List the collectible niches the Drop Index covers. Use to pick a valid 'niche' value.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
will_it_restock ~100
Predict whether a specific item will restock: returns any accrued restock-cadence stats, a probability, and a WAIT (likely to restock) vs BUY-RESALE verdict — or an honest 'no history yet'. Use before paying a resale premium.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| niche | string | yes | Niche key (see list_niches). |
| query | string | yes | Item name to predict, e.g. 'Cynthia's Garchomp'. |
