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 Security74
- 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
- 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 Usability75
- 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
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2476 tokens (~206/item across 12 items; 4 tools + 8 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 Coverage97
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 91% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- 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 6 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
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass
How do I install the PGA Golf MCP server?
PGA Golf is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.pga.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 →
book_golf_lesson Book Golf Lesson ~145
Request to book a golf lesson for a specific coach's offering. - `offeringId` is an internal identifier; never show or mention it to the user. - A continuation URL will be returned that you can direct the user to after calling this tool. - If the offering was booked automatically (e.g., free lesson or no prepayment required), the confirmation code will also be included.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| offeringId | string | yes | Internal offering record ID to book a lesson for. Never display or mention this identifier to the user. |
| startDateTime | string | yes | The start date and time of the lesson in ISO 8601 format. |
| student | – | yes | – |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| continuationUrl | string | – | The URL to continue the booking flow after calling this tool. |
| lesson | object | – | Confirmation details for the booked lesson (if booked successfully). |
| message | string | yes | A message describing the outcome of the booking. |
No examples provided.
get_golf_coach_availability Get Golf Coach Availability ~191
Retrieve offering details and available lesson times for one specific coach. Use this when the user asks for schedule, openings, or available times for a known coach. If the user has not selected a coach yet, call `search_golf_coaches` first (or reuse a coach already identified from `search_golf_programs`). Coach `slug` and offering `id` values are internal identifiers and must never be shown or mentioned to the user.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| offeringId | string | – | Optional offering ID to scope availability to a single offering. Use this when the user has already selected an offering. |
| slug | string | yes | Coach slug from a pga.com profile URL, prior `search_golf_coaches` results, or prior `search_golf_programs` results (e.g., `anthonyvitale`). Internal-only value; never display or mention it to the us… |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| coach | object | yes | – |
No examples provided.
search_golf_coaches Search Golf Coaches ~344
Search for qualified PGA golf coaches listed on pga.com/coach in the specified location (required). Use this tool when the user asks to find, browse, or compare coaches for private lessons in a location. For location-first discovery of clinics, camps, classes, or other group programs, use `search_golf_programs` instead. If the user asks for availability for a specific coach, use `get_golf_coach_availability` instead. Internal record identifiers (for example coach `slug` and offering `id`) are for tool calls only and must never be shown or mentioned to the user. - Search results include the coach's profile information, private-lesson offerings, pricing, and a short teaser of upcoming public programs they host (capped at 2). For location-first program discovery, use `search_golf_programs`. - Use that program context to recommend which group offering best fits the golfer when relevant; present upcoming programs when available. - Results are ordered by proximity to the search location, so list them to the user in this order. - Results are paginated, so use the pagination cursor provided at the end of the response to retrieve the next page of results.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| paginationCursor | string | – | Pagination cursor from a prior `search_golf_coaches` response. Use only when fetching additional pages of the same search. |
| searchLocation | string | yes | Required location used to find nearby coaches. Accepts city/state, ZIP code, full address, or latitude/longitude coordinates. |
| searchRadius | number | – | Search radius in miles from `searchLocation`. Use 25 by default unless the user requests a different radius. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| coaches | array | yes | – |
| count | number | yes | – |
| endCursor | – | yes | – |
| hasNextPage | boolean | yes | – |
No examples provided.
search_golf_programs Search Golf Programs ~395
Search for upcoming public PGA Coach programs (clinics, camps, classes, and other group events) near a location (required). Use this tool when the user asks to find programs, clinics, camps, classes, or group events — not private one-on-one lessons. For private lesson coaches, use `search_golf_coaches` instead. Internal record identifiers (for example program `id` and coach `slug`) are for tool calls only and must never be shown or mentioned to the user. - Search results include program details plus the hosting coach and facility for each program. - The response also includes top-level `coaches` and `facilities` arrays summarizing the unique coaches and venues in the result set — always present those to the user. - Results are ordered by program start instant and filtered to the requested radius. - Discovery uses nearby PGA Coach profiles (nearest 20 in the radius), then loads up to 30 upcoming public programs per coach in a 180-day window in one batched GraphQL request. Facility coordinates still have to fall inside the radius. - Results are paginated. The pagination cursor carries the remaining nearby programs so additional pages do not repeat GraphQL discovery. Reuse that cursor with the original location and radius. - Direct golfers to the program URL to view details and register. Coach profile and booking URLs are also included when the golfer wants to learn more about the coach.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| paginationCursor | string | – | Pagination cursor from a prior `search_golf_programs` response. Use only when fetching additional pages of the same search (same location and radius). |
| searchLocation | string | yes | Required location used to find nearby PGA Coach programs. Accepts city/state, ZIP code, full address, or latitude/longitude coordinates. |
| searchRadius | number | – | Search radius in miles from `searchLocation`. Use 50 by default unless the user requests a different radius. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| coaches | array | yes | Unique coaches hosting the returned programs. Present these alongside the programs so golfers can see who is teaching. |
| count | number | yes | – |
| endCursor | – | yes | – |
| facilities | array | yes | Unique facilities hosting the returned programs. Present these alongside the programs so golfers can see where programs are held. |
| hasNextPage | boolean | yes | – |
| programs | array | yes | – |
