Search, vet & assemble MCP servers from your agent: verified tools, risk labels, and trust scores.
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 →
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 14 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 Usability81
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 1183 tokens (~84/item across 14 items; 14 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
- Stability observed for 8 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
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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.

search_servers Search MCP servers ~212
Search the MCPExplorer index of MCP servers by free text and filters. Omit `query` to browse the whole index ranked by trust score. Every filter either applies or is echoed back in `ignored_filters` with a reason — filters never silently do nothing.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability | string | — | Filter to servers providing a capability slug, e.g. 'send-email'. An unknown slug is reported in ignored_filters, not silently dropped. |

| query | string | — | Free-text query, e.g. 'send email' or 'postgres'. Omit to browse the full index ranked by trust. |
| risk_level | string | — | Filter by tool risk. 'read-only' = has tools and none are write/destructive — the safe set to hand an autonomous agent. |
| transport | string | — | Filter by transport. Many servers are still 'unknown' (transport not yet probed by the crawler). |
