MCP tools — 6 exposed · ~528 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.

Tool Tokens
assess_server ~77

Aggregated pre-flight trust assessment across all tools on an MCP server. Same verdict shape as check_tool_trust. Use for "is THIS server worth integrating?" decisions. v1 advisory; conformance monitored not enforced; verdicts may be UNVERIFIED if not yet probed.

NameTypeReqDescription
server_idstringyesServer slug to assess.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

check_tool_trust ~163

Pre-invocation advisory screen for a specific tool on an MCP server. Returns an advisory verdict object (directive ALLOW | DENY | REVIEW | UNVERIFIED, dimensions, freshness). At v1 the public screen produces REVIEW or UNVERIFIED only - ALLOW/DENY are reserved. Not the in-path gate (mcpindex-gate). Agents SHOULD treat UNVERIFIED as "human review required", never as ALLOW.

NameTypeReqDescription
server_idstringyesRegistry slug from search_mcp_servers / recommend results, e.g. "io-github-microsoft-playwright-mcp" (NOT a short name like "github").
tool_namestringyesTool name as exposed by the server (e.g. "create_pull_request").

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

compare_servers ~42

Side-by-side comparison of 2-5 MCP servers - quality scores, install paths, env vars.

NameTypeReqDescription
slugsarrayyesServer slugs to compare.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_install_command ~69

Get the exact install command for a given MCP server and client. Returns a JSON block ready to paste into the client config.

NameTypeReqDescription
clientstringyesTarget client.
server_slugstringyesSlug of the server (from search_mcp_servers or recommend_mcp_for_task results).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

recommend_mcp_for_task ~92

Recommend the best MCP servers for a natural-language task. Returns top 3 ranked picks with reasoning, install commands, and quality scores. Use this when the user asks for the right MCP server for a task they want to do.

NameTypeReqDescription
taskstringyesNatural-language description of the task, e.g. "read PDFs and write to S3" or "search GitHub and open a PR".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_mcp_servers ~85

Keyword + semantic search across every MCP server mcpindex indexes. Use when the user knows what tool category they want but not which server.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystringOptional category filter (e.g. database, browser, github, productivity).
limitnumberMax results (default 10, max 50).
querystringyesSearch query.
