Category Search and Retrieval
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 Security83
- 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. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation. 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 is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability61
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1562 tokens (~260/item across 6 items; 6 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
- All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 7 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 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 →
compare_tools Compare listings ~88
Two to four listings side by side, with the same facts for each: price as checked and its terms, when it was last checked, country, open source, self-hostable, reviews, and the short positioning (value proposition and audience). Slugs come from search_tools or find_alternatives; exact names work too.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slugs | array | yes | Two to four listing slugs. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
find_alternatives Find alternatives to a product ~311
List what the NutsGrowth directory files as a replacement for a named product, e.g. "Notion" or "Google Drive", with the same filters as search_tools. Matching is on the product's name as the directory writes it; when nothing matches, the answer suggests names it does file alternatives for. Returns at most 10 listings and the total, in alphabetical order.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | A category slug from list_filters. Includes its sub-categories. |
| country | string | – | Where the company is based: an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code such as "DE", or the name list_filters gives. |
| free_plan | boolean | – | Only listings that have (true) or do not have (false) a free plan or free tier, by a price a person checked. |
| limit | integer | – | How many to return. At most 10, which is also the default. |
| open_source | boolean | – | Only listings that are (true) or are not (false) open source. |
| price_checked | boolean | – | Only listings whose price a person has (true) or has not (false) checked. |
| product | string | yes | The product to replace, by name. |
| self_hostable | boolean | – | Only listings that can (true) or cannot (false) be run on your own servers. |
| tags | array | – | Up to 5 tag slugs from list_filters. A listing must carry all of them. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_tool Read one listing ~115
Everything public about one listing in the NutsGrowth directory: what it is, where the company is based, whether it is open source or self-hostable, its price as a person checked it with the terms, when it was last checked, its reviews' count and average, and its positioning. Positioning with written_by "vendor" is the company describing itself — a claim, not the directory's finding.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | yes | The listing's slug, from search_tools or find_alternatives, or its exact name. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_filters List the filter values ~67
The categories, countries and tags in use in the NutsGrowth directory, each with how many listings it has, so search_tools and find_alternatives can be given values that exist. Open source and self-hostable are filters of their own (open_source, self_hostable), not tags.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_tools Search the directory ~369
Find startups and SaaS tools in the NutsGrowth directory by words and filters. Words are matched against the name, tagline, category, country, price, the products a listing replaces, and its tags; every word must appear. Give at least one of query, category, country, tags, open_source, self_hostable or free_plan. Returns at most 10 listings and the total; each has its page on NutsGrowth, the product's own website, its price as a person checked it ("Not checked" when nobody has — do not supply one from elsewhere as the directory's), and when it was last checked.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | A category slug from list_filters. Includes its sub-categories. |
| country | string | – | Where the company is based: an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code such as "DE", or the name list_filters gives. |
| free_plan | boolean | – | Only listings that have (true) or do not have (false) a free plan or free tier, by a price a person checked. |
| limit | integer | – | How many to return. At most 10, which is also the default. |
| open_source | boolean | – | Only listings that are (true) or are not (false) open source. |
| price_checked | boolean | – | Only listings whose price a person has (true) or has not (false) checked. |
| query | string | – | Words to look for, e.g. "invoicing" or "crm freelancers". |
| self_hostable | boolean | – | Only listings that can (true) or cannot (false) be run on your own servers. |
| tags | array | – | Up to 5 tag slugs from list_filters. A listing must carry all of them. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
submit_tool Suggest a product for the directory ~482
Send a startup or SaaS product to the NutsGrowth review queue, the way the form at /submit does. A person reads every suggestion and writes the listing by hand, so it takes days. If the website is already listed, the answer gives its page and how to claim it; if it is already in the queue, when it arrived. Fill in what you know from the product's own site; leave out what you do not. Ask the person before sending.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| audience | array | – | Who it is for: up to 8 short labels, each at most 40 characters. |
| category | string | – | A category slug from list_filters. |
| country | string | – | Where the company is based: an ISO code such as "DE", or the name. |
| string | – | The person's email, only if they gave it to you for this. NutsGrowth's promise about it, as /submit makes it: "We email you once, when it is listed — with a link to claim it if it is yours — and only… | |
| name | string | yes | The product's name. |
| open_source | boolean | – | True if it is open source. |
| overview | string | – | What it does, in a paragraph or two (at most 3000 characters). |
| price | object | – | What it costs, as pricing_url shows it, which is then required. A person checks it against that page before the listing shows any price. Leave it out if the page gives no US dollar price. |
| pricing_url | string | – | The page where its prices are published, as a full https:// address. |
| replaces | array | – | Products it is a practical substitute for. |
| self_hostable | boolean | – | True if it can be run on your own servers. |
| tagline | string | – | One line on what it does. |
| tags | array | – | Up to 8 tag slugs from list_filters. Any other is dropped, and the answer names it. |
| url | string | yes | Its website, as a full https:// address. |
| value_prop | string | – | Why somebody switches to it (at most 400 characters). |

What is the NutsGrowth MCP server?
NutsGrowth is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.nutsgrowth/directory. Startup and SaaS tools and their alternatives, with prices and when a person last checked them. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://nutsgrowth.com/mcp).
Is the NutsGrowth MCP server safe to use?
NutsGrowth scores 83 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 NutsGrowth MCP server expose?
NutsGrowth exposes 6 tools: search_tools, find_alternatives, get_tool, compare_tools, list_filters, submit_tool. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,432 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the NutsGrowth MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to NutsGrowth without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the NutsGrowth MCP server still maintained?
NutsGrowth is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What did VerifyMCP test on the NutsGrowth MCP server?
VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on NutsGrowth, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 9 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
