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 (tip_remaining). 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 Usability69
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1609 tokens (~178/item across 9 items; 9 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 Management77
- Stability observed for 23 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
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 9 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 10 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

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 →
brief Brief ($0.25) ~200
Research brief with cited sources on any topic, written to order (not instant). Returns a job id and due time right away; the finished brief (title, summary, markdown body, source links, word count) is ready within 24 hours, usually the same day, at GET /v1/jobs/:id, which is free. About 500 words by default (50-1500 via max_words), with at least 3 cited public web sources. Price: $0.25 USDC per call (x402 on Base) or 1 prepaid pack credit. Failed calls aren't charged when you pay per call with x402: if the job errors, the USDC payment is never settled. With pack credits (X-Entitlement-Key), a call that fails gives its credit back.

Rule-based parsing with no LLM, so results are fast and predictable. Useful for normalizing tool output, logs or form dumps before further processing. Not for free-form language understanding or writing. Price: $0.15 USDC per call (x402 on Base) or 1 prepaid pack credit. Failed calls aren't charged when you pay per call with x402: if the job errors, the USDC payment is never settled. With pack credits (X-Entitlement-Key), a call that fails gives its credit back.

Useful for summarizing, quoting, or feeding a page to an LLM or RAG index without a browser. Not for logged-in, paywalled or non-HTML URLs (such as PDFs); private hosts are refused. Price: $0.05 USDC per call (x402 on Base) or 1 prepaid pack credit. Failed calls aren't charged when you pay per call with x402: if the job errors, the USDC payment is never settled.

url_probe URL probe ($0.03) ~195
Check if a URL is up. Sends a HEAD request (GET fallback that reads at most 8 KB) to a public http(s) URL and returns the HTTP status code, ok true/false, final URL after redirects, content type, content length and response time in ms. A cheap uptime, health or broken-link check before a heavier fetch. Public hosts only; private, local and logged-in URLs are refused. Price: $0.03 USDC per call (x402 on Base) or 1 prepaid pack credit. Failed calls aren't charged when you pay per call with x402: if the job errors, the USDC payment is never settled.

A one-shot change monitor for price, policy or docs pages. Each call is a single check; there are no webhooks or stored subscriptions. Price: $0.10 USDC per call (x402 on Base) or 1 prepaid pack credit. Failed calls aren't charged when you pay per call with x402: if the job errors, the USDC payment is never settled. With pack credits (X-Entitlement-Key), a call that fails gives its credit back.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

How do I install the AUTOGROK Desk MCP server?
AUTOGROK Desk is a hosted endpoint at https://desk.grokaiapps.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.
