Schema Quality & AI Usability68
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 929 tokens (~232/item across 4 items; 4 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 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 4 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
Install

How do I install the FCC Broadband Map MCP server?

FCC Broadband Map is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.olyport.com/fcc-broadband/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 →

Tool Tokens
get_broadband_by_location ~287

Get broadband providers and availability at a specific lat/lon location. Returns a list of broadband providers serving the location with their advertised download/upload speeds and technology types. Includes BEAD classification (unserved/underserved/served) based on max available speeds. NOTE: The FCC Broadband Map API has bot protection and may reject requests. If you get an error, the API endpoint may have changed. The FCC updates this API frequently without notice. Args: latitude: Location latitude (e.g. 38.8977 for Washington DC). longitude: Location longitude (e.g. -77.0365 for Washington DC). technology_code: Filter by technology (0=All, 10=Copper, 40=Cable, 50=Fiber, 60=Satellite, 70=Fixed Wireless). speed_download: Minimum download speed in Mbps (default 25). speed_upload: Minimum upload speed in Mbps (default 3). as_of_date: BDC filing date in YYYY-MM-DD format (default 2024-06-30).

get_broadband_summary_by_county ~215

Get broadband availability statistics for a county. Returns aggregated broadband data including provider counts, technology availability, and BEAD-relevant metrics (unserved/underserved/served location percentages). NOTE: County-level summary endpoints may not be directly available in all API versions. This tool attempts multiple endpoint patterns. Args: county_fips: 5-digit county FIPS code (e.g. '11001' for Washington DC, '53033' for King County WA). Always a string, never an integer. speed_download: Minimum download speed threshold in Mbps (default 25). speed_upload: Minimum upload speed threshold in Mbps (default 3). as_of_date: BDC filing date in YYYY-MM-DD format (default 2024-06-30).

get_broadband_summary_by_state ~186

Get state-level broadband availability summary. Returns aggregated broadband statistics for the state including provider counts and technology deployment. Useful for BEAD program analysis to identify states with significant unserved/underserved populations. Args: state_fips: 2-digit state FIPS code (e.g. '53' for Washington, '11' for DC). Always a string, never an integer. speed_download: Minimum download speed threshold in Mbps (default 25). speed_upload: Minimum upload speed threshold in Mbps (default 3). as_of_date: BDC filing date in YYYY-MM-DD format (default 2024-06-30).

Common questions

What is the FCC Broadband Map MCP server?

FCC Broadband Map is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.olyport/fcc-broadband. Broadband availability, providers, speeds, and BEAD classification from the FCC. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.olyport.com/fcc-broadband/mcp).

Is the FCC Broadband Map MCP server safe to use?

FCC Broadband Map scores 77 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 FCC Broadband Map MCP server expose?

FCC Broadband Map exposes 4 tools: get_broadband_by_location, get_broadband_summary_by_county, get_broadband_summary_by_state, get_providers_by_county. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 929 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the FCC Broadband Map MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to FCC Broadband Map without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the FCC Broadband Map MCP server still maintained?

FCC Broadband Map is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 24 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
