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 Security80
- 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 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 Usability76
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
- Tool/resource definitions use about 2059 tokens (~85/item across 24 items; 15 tools + 9 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 Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
- 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 15 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 17 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 eDiscovery Decoder News/Calc MCP server?
eDiscovery Decoder News/Calc is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.ediscoverydecoder.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 →
calculate_control_set_recall Calculate Control Set Recall ~111
Calculate recall against a known control set: the share of documents already confirmed relevant that the workflow found, with a Wilson confidence interval. Use when you have relevant-found and relevant-missed counts from a fixed reference set. For recall from a confusion matrix use calculate_review_metrics; from a discard-set sample use calculate_tar_recall_estimate. Aggregate counts only; not legal advice.

No examples provided.
calculate_elusion Calculate Elusion ~132
Estimate how much responsive/relevant material may remain in a set you chose NOT to review (the discard, null, or 'elusion' set). Use when a random sample of that excluded set has been coded — e.g. 'we sampled 400 culled docs and found 2 relevant.' Returns the elusion rate and a Wilson confidence interval. For an overall recall % from the same sample, use calculate_tar_recall_estimate. Aggregate counts only; not legal advice.

calculate_prevalence_richness Calculate Prevalence Or Richness ~106
Estimate how rich or prevalent a population is — the share that is responsive/relevant/positive — from positive hits in a random sample, with a Wilson confidence interval. Use for 'what % of this set is relevant?' or to size review scope and cost expectations. Aggregate counts only; not legal advice.

calculate_review_metrics Calculate Review Metrics ~133
Score a coded sample when you have a full confusion matrix (true/false positives and negatives) — e.g. comparing a TAR model's calls against a reviewer's. Returns recall, precision, F1, accuracy, and in-sample elusion. Use calculate_control_set_recall if you only have relevant-found vs relevant-missed; calculate_elusion for a discard/null-set sample. Aggregate counts only; not legal advice.

calculate_sample_size Calculate Sample Size ~106
Work out how many documents to randomly sample to estimate a proportion (e.g. richness or elusion) at a target confidence level and margin of error, with finite-population correction. Use when planning a sample before review — 'how big a sample do we need?' Aggregate inputs only; not legal advice.

calculate_tar_recall_estimate Calculate TAR Recall Estimate ~130
Estimate overall TAR recall and how many responsive docs were missed, by combining the responsive count already found with an elusion sample of the excluded set. Use when the user wants a recall % for the whole workflow, not just the elusion rate. For only the elusion rate and its interval, use calculate_elusion. Aggregate counts only; not legal advice.

compare_tar_cutoffs Compare TAR Cutoffs ~89
Compare candidate TAR score or rank cutoffs side by side: for each cutoff, how many docs sit above it, its share of the scored set, and (if responsive counts are given) an estimated precision. Use when deciding where to draw the review/cull line. Aggregate counts only; not legal advice.
