Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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 →

Endpoint Security63

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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
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 Usability83

100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
Tool/resource definitions use about 1065 tokens (~71/item across 15 items; 8 tools + 7 resources), lean.Pass
Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail

Stability & Change Management13

Stability check failed: schema churn in the 8 days we've observed: 1 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 1 additions. See how to fix → Fail

Tool Coverage83

100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
41% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass

Capabilities100

Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

MCP tools · 8 exposed · ~780 tokens

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.

Tool Tokens

create_permit_watch Create an authorized PermitReporter email watch ~261

Create a pending email watch only after the user reviews the exact email, search query and optional county, explicitly authorizes this request and confirmation email, and accepts https://permitreporter.com/terms and https://permitreporter.com/privacy. This additive action stores the email and search for alerts; it does not file a permit or prove coverage. The address must confirm before alerts begin. Reuse submission_id for safe retries.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
county	string	–	Optional county restriction. Bare for Georgia ('Cobb'), state-qualified elsewhere ('Los Angeles, CA').
email	string	yes	The user's reviewed email address. It is stored for confirmation and alerts, never returned.
query	string	yes	The exact address, project, subdivision, business term or county-wide phrase the user approved.
submission_id	string	yes	Generate once for this watch; reuse it when retrying the same exact request.
terms_and_privacy_accepted	boolean	yes	True only after the user accepts https://permitreporter.com/terms and https://permitreporter.com/privacy.
user_authorized	boolean	yes	True only after the user reviews the exact email, query and county and explicitly asks PermitReporter to create this watch and send its confirmation email.

Name	Type	Req	Description
next_step	string	yes	–
ok	boolean	yes	–
reference	string	yes	–
replayed	boolean	yes	–
status	string	yes	–
submission_meaning	string	yes	–
watch	object	yes	–

No examples provided.

fetch Fetch a US permit source ~55

Fetch one reviewed PermitReporter guide or one collected permit record returned by search. Permit records retain source, record date, collection timestamp and coverage limits.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
id	string	yes	A guide:… or permit:… ID returned by search.

Name	Type	Req	Description
id	string	yes	–
metadata	object	yes	–
text	string	yes	–
title	string	yes	–
url	string	yes	–

No examples provided.

get_contractor_leads Find US contractor opportunity signals ~69

Return recent, source-linked collected permits classified by trade and project scope for contractor research. Classifications are editorial signals, not official fields or guaranteed work.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
county	string	–	–
days	integer	–	–
limit	integer	–	–
trade	string	–	–

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_county_coverage Check US county permit coverage ~56

Return the current source route, issuer, cadence, lag, through-date, collected record count, sources and statistical floor for one covered US county. Call this before interpreting a missing county result.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
county	string	yes	–

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_permit_record Get a source-linked US permit record ~46

Retrieve one privacy-minimized collected building-permit record by PermitReporter record ID, including its canonical citation, official source link and collection timestamp.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
record_id	integer	yes	–

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_statewide_snapshot Get the current US permit-data snapshot ~93

Return current PermitReporter counts, route-status boundaries, record-date range and latest collection timestamp without returning personal data. Pass `state` with a two-letter code to get that one jurisdiction's collected coverage, including an explicit answer for states where nothing has been collected yet.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
state	string	–	Two-letter US state or district code, for example 'OH' or 'DC'. Omit for the national snapshot.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

search Search US permit sources ~57

Search PermitReporter reviewed guidance and privacy-minimized collected building-permit records. Returns canonical URLs for citation. Call fetch with a returned ID for the full source.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description

Name	Type	Req	Description
results	array	yes	–

No examples provided.

search_permits Search collected US building permits ~143

Search privacy-minimized collected building-permit records by public text, US county, city, PermitReporter trade classification or record-date range. Coverage spans 34 states and the District of Columbia; name a county bare for Georgia ('Cobb') or state-qualified elsewhere ('Los Angeles, CA'). Returns no raw payloads or party arrays. An empty result means no matching record was collected, not that no permit exists.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
city	string	–	–
county	string	–	–
date_from	string	–	–
date_to	string	–	–
limit	integer	–	–
