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 Security80
- 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
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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 Usability66
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1502 tokens (~250/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 Management33
- Stability observed for 10 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 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.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 current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
How do I install the Underpriced AI MCP server?
Underpriced AI is a hosted endpoint at https://underpricedai.com/api/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 →
buy_credits Buy scan credits ~133
Ways to pay for Underpriced AI scans. Without a choice it lists the credit packs (credits never expire), pay as you go ($0.25 per photo scan on a monthly bill, no cap), and for a signed-in user their balance. With a pack it returns a Stripe Checkout link for that user; with PAY_AS_YOU_GO it returns the link that puts a card on file so scans just run from then on. Anonymous callers get the pricing page link.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| pack | string | – | A pack to buy, or PAY_AS_YOU_GO. Leave empty to see the options and the balance first. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_scan_result Fetch a saved scan's result ~123
For a signed-in user: the finished result for a scan on their account, in the same shape as price_item, once the sold comps have landed in the background. Call it with the account.scanId a photo price returned when that result said comps were still loading (about 20 seconds later), or to re-read any saved scan.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cost | number | – | What the user would pay, in USD, for a worth-it verdict. |
| scan_id | string | yes | The account.scanId from a signed-in price_item, or the saved-scan link. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_sold_comps Recent eBay sold comps ~84
The most recent real eBay US sales for a search query (brand, model or pattern, a few specific words), with the count, median and quartiles. Use when the user wants to see what actually sold and for how much.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | 3 to 6 specific words, brand and model first, like an eBay search. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_on_ebay Prepare an eBay listing ~191
For a signed-in user: turns a photo scan from price_item (account.scanId) into an inventory item with a draft eBay listing on their Underpriced AI account (title, list price defaulting to the market price, condition, description) and returns the link where they review and publish it in the app, plus whether eBay is connected and the connect link if not. It never publishes anything; publishing happens in the app after the user checks the listing.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| condition | string | – | Overrides the condition read from the photo. |
| price | number | – | List price in USD. Leave empty for the scan's market list price. |
| scan_id | string | yes | The account.scanId that price_item returned for a photo scan on this account (the saved-scan link works too). |
| title | string | – | Overrides the generated listing title (80 characters, eBay's limit). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
price_item Price an item ~182
What a secondhand item sells for on eBay US: a calibrated estimate with a range, the recent real sold comps behind it, three list prices (fast, market, patient) with the 14-day sell chance, the net after eBay fees, and a worth-it verdict when you pass what the user would pay. Give image_url (a public https link to a photo) whenever one exists; a description alone works but reads less.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| condition | string | – | Condition as the user states it. |
| cost | number | – | What the user paid or would pay for it, in USD, for a worth-it verdict. |
| description | string | – | What the item is: brand, model or pattern, size, any marks, completeness. |
| image_url | string | – | Public https URL of a photo of the item. Preferred over description alone. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
worth_it Worth buying at this cost? ~83
Net after eBay fees and a verdict (worth it / thin / pass) for an expected sale price and what the user would pay. Pure arithmetic; use price_item first when the sale price is unknown.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cost | number | yes | What the user would pay for the item in USD. |
| expected_sale_price | number | yes | Expected eBay sale price in USD. |
No output schema declared.
