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 Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 1 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- 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 Usability74
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 298 tokens (~298/item across 1 items; 1 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
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
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 2 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 Syftly MCP server?
Syftly is a hosted endpoint at https://syftly.vercel.app/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 →
find_best_tool ~181
Given a natural-language question about which AI tool or API is best for a task (currently transcription, text-to-speech, web search, scraping & browser and ocr & document extraction), return Syftly's ranked recommendation: a citeable summary, a provider table with prices and trade-offs, dated sources, and a confidence label. Ask in plain English about price, accuracy, language or capability trade-offs — e.g. 'best OCR API for scanned PDFs' or 'best web scraping API for JavaScript-heavy sites'. Optionally pass "category" to disambiguate; otherwise it is detected from the question.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Optional category id to disambiguate the question; omit to let Syftly detect it. |
| query | string | yes | The question in natural language, e.g. 'best transcription API for Dutch'. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| categories | array | – | Present only when routing !== 'matched': the supported categories so the caller can re-ask in scope. |
| category | string | yes | e.g. 'transcription'; '' on a no-match. |
| confidence | string | yes | Confidence/depth label. |
| providers | array | yes | – |
| query | string | yes | The human question (page H1). |
| recommendation | object | yes | – |
| routing | string | yes | Honest routing outcome: 'matched' = answered from a real category; 'none' = no category matched (out-of-scope/gibberish) — an honest no-match, not a fabricated answer; 'ambiguous' = fit 2+ categories… |
| slug | string | yes | – |
| sources | array | yes | – |
| summary | string | yes | Citeable summary, 40-80 words, reused verbatim across all views. On a no-match, the plain-language message. |
| updated | string | yes | ISO date. |
