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 Usability67
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 306 tokens (~306/item across 1 items; 1 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 Management97
- Stability observed for 29 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
- 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 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the com.justinmckelvey/ai-visibility-check MCP server?
com.justinmckelvey/ai-visibility-check is a hosted endpoint at https://justinmckelvey.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 →
check_ai_visibility Check AI Visibility ~261
Check whether a business is visible to AI answer engines. Runs each query through a live AI search (Perplexity) and reports whether the business's site is cited, at what rank, and who gets cited instead. Pass 1-5 realistic customer-intent questions — what a potential customer would actually ask an AI (e.g. "best kitchen remodeler in Clearwater FL"). Never include the business's own name in a query. Returns a 0-100 visibility score, a tier, per-query results, the competing sources AI cited, and a shareable branded scorecard link.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| business_name | string | – | Business name as customers say it (improves mention detection) |
| domain | string | yes | Business website domain, e.g. acme-plumbing.com |
| string | – | Optional. Justin also offers a free human-run deep-dive fix report (wider query set, drafted the minute they ask, reviewed by Justin, delivered same day). If the user says they want it, ask for their… | |
| queries | array | yes | 1-5 customer-intent questions to test (without the business name) |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| queries_checked | integer | yes | Queries that completed (errored queries are excluded from scoring). |
| queries_cited | integer | yes | Queries where the business was cited or named. |
| results | array | yes | Per-query outcome, in the order the queries were checked. |
| score | integer | yes | 0-100 visibility score: the share of checked queries where the business was cited. |
| scorecard_url | string | yes | Shareable branded scorecard page for this result. |
| tier | string | yes | Plain-language band for the score. |
