Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog) Scored 2026-11-05. - **Endpoint Security**: 63/100 - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (set_business_profile). - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. - **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100 - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. - **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 67/100 - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent). - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 4673 tokens (~161/item across 29 items; 29 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. - **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100 - Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses. - **Tool Coverage**: 100/100 - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name). - 100% of tool parameters carry a description. - Structured output schemas are declared (14% of tools); any adoption earns full credit. - **Tool Safety**: 100/100 - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured. - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation. - An AI judge read all 30 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it. - **Capabilities**: 100/100 - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28). ## Install ### How do I install the workspaceAlberta MCP server? workspaceAlberta is a hosted endpoint at https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.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. ### Claude ```bash claude mcp add --transport http com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta 'https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp' ``` ### Cursor ```json { "mcpServers": { "com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta": { "url": "https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp" } } } ``` ### VS Code ```json { "servers": { "com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta": { "type": "http", "url": "https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp" } } } ``` ### Codex ```toml [mcp_servers.com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta] url = "https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp" ``` ### opencode ```json { "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "mcp": { "com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp", "enabled": true } } } ``` ### OpenClaw ```bash openclaw mcp add com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta --url 'https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp' --transport streamable-http ``` ### Hermes ```yaml mcp_servers: com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta: url: "https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp" ``` ### Netclaw ```json { "McpServers": { "com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta": { "Transport": "http", "Url": "https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp" } } } ``` ### Vellum ```bash assistant mcp add com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta -t streamable-http -u 'https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp' ``` ### Other ```json { "mcpServers": { "com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta": { "type": "http", "url": "https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp" } } } ``` The mcpServers block is a cross-client convention.

Pass an inline `profile` to describe the business per call. A description is classified with TypeSafe Jev (yes, partial, or no, and goods supply, services, training, or subcontract) after a commodity-code prefilter; keyword score and Buy Canadian bonuses break ties. Steel, lumber, aluminum, and construction remain valid labels. When configured, search terms or business capabilities may be sent to Cohere to select commodity filters. See /privacy.

A commodity-code and term prefilter cuts the catalogues to a short candidate list, then TypeSafe Jev classifies each notice: could this business supply it (yes, partial, or no) and as which capability (goods supply, services, training, or subcontract). Yes and partial results are ordered by that verdict, then by the existing keyword score and Buy Canadian bonus. If Jev is not configured or rejects the key, keyword ranking is used and the result says so. The description and a short notice summary are sent to TypeSafe when classification runs.

See /privacy for processing locations. For Alberta APC postings, the first call returns a private upload link: the user downloads the documents with their own APC supplier account and uploads them, then you call again with upload_token. Returns within 145 seconds including setup; large packages may time out. Retry with fewer attachments; a timeout is not a completed analysis. Hosted: sign-in and an active workspaceAlberta Pro subscription required. Input parameters: - `apc_document_urls` (object): For APC only: map document IDs from get_opportunity_details to already authorized, publicly accessible HTTPS copies. This tool never signs in to APC, registers supplier interest, subscribes notificat… - `business_context` (string): Optional company capabilities or bid context.

Clause and page text is sent to TypeSafe AI (api.typesafe.ai) for classification; WorkspaceAlberta stores nothing beyond the existing private upload bucket for APC files. PDFs only (PDFs inside ZIPs are read); up to 800 pages and 8,000 clauses per call. CanadaBuys: reads the public tender attachments. Alberta APC: the first call returns a private upload link (the same upload flow as process_bid_room); the user downloads the documents with their own APC supplier account and uploads them, then you call again with upload_token. The link expires as before (2 hours). This tool does not delete the uploads, so process_bid_room can use the same upload_token afterwards. Returns markdown followed by the full result as JSON (schema wa.tender_requirements.v1, with tender closing time and posting link). Returns within 140 seconds; a result cut short by a limit is labelled partial. Results are classifier outputs: verify them against the official posting and amendments.

Search every CanadaBuys and Alberta Purchasing Connection tender. Free briefs; Pro bid-room tools. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp). ### Is the workspaceAlberta MCP server safe to use? workspaceAlberta scores 68 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 workspaceAlberta MCP server expose? workspaceAlberta exposes 29 tools: get_server_guide, search_contracts, get_contract_details, list_upcoming_deadlines, summarize_contracts, and 24 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,655 tokens of context every time the server is loaded. ### Does the workspaceAlberta MCP server require authentication? No. We connected to workspaceAlberta without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address. ### Is the workspaceAlberta MCP server still maintained? workspaceAlberta is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced. ## Links - Remote endpoint: https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp - Repository: https://github.com/WarreAndVavasour/WorkspaceAlberta - Website: https://warreandvavasour.com/workspacealberta?utm_source=mcp-registry&utm_medium=directory&utm_campaign=workspacealberta - Changelog RSS feed: https://verifymcp.io/servers/com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta/elbowsupknivesout.xml - Changelog JSON feed: https://verifymcp.io/servers/com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta/elbowsupknivesout.json - HTML version of this page: https://verifymcp.io/servers/com-warreandvavasour-workspacealberta/elbowsupknivesout
