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
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability73
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 271 tokens (~90/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • 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 Coverage67
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 4 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
Install

How do I install the CanYouGrab.it MCP server?

CanYouGrab.it is a hosted endpoint at https://api.canyougrab.it/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.

    No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 93 to 97. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 28 days of observed history at the previous scan, 29 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

MCP tools · 3 exposed · ~140 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. 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 →

Tool Tokens
check_domains ~52

Use this when the user wants to know whether one or more domains are available to register. Returns confidence, source, cache age, and ambiguous results when the lookup cannot be determined safely.

NameTypeReqDescription

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

check_usage ~34

Use this when the user wants to see their CanYouGrab.it plan, usage, and remaining quota for the current billing period.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_domain_info ~54

Use this when the user wants WHOIS or registration information about a specific domain — such as who owns it, when it was registered, when it expires, or what nameservers it uses.
