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 Usability77
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 724 tokens (~144/item across 5 items; 5 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 Management63
- Stability observed for 19 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
- We read all 5 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
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.therenovationroom/renovation-room MCP server?
com.therenovationroom/renovation-room is a hosted endpoint at https://therenovationroom.com/wp-json/trr-mcp/v1/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 →
get_pro Get Pro Details ~76
Get one contractor's public listing summary from The Renovation Room directory by the numeric id returned from search_pros. Returns trades, service areas, services offered, and the about text — no contact details; contact happens on the profile page or through the project form.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | integer | yes | The listing id from search_pros results. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
how_to_submit_project How to Get Quotes for a Project ~82
Explains how getting quotes from Renovation Room Pros works: the free project-submission wizard, what happens after submitting, and the direct link. Use for general how-does-it-work questions about the Chicago area (including Northwest Indiana and Southern Wisconsin); when the user has already described a specific project, use start_project instead to hand them a prefilled link.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
renovation_faq Chicagoland Renovation FAQ ~72
Answer Chicago-area home-renovation questions from The Renovation Room's fact-checked FAQ: building permits and inspections, hiring and vetting contractors, remodel costs (including current tariff impacts), and project planning. Every answer cites its primary source.

| question | string | yes | The renovation question, in plain language. |
No output schema declared.

| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Pass ONLY the trade, service, or company name (e.g. "roofing", "fence installation", "Grindstone Roofing") — not a sentence and not a location. 2-80 characters. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
start_project Start a Project (Prefilled Form Link) ~179
Build a personalized link to The Renovation Room's free project-submission form with the homeowner's details already filled in.
