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
Transport & Reachability100
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

MCP tools — 14 exposed · ~1,051 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
check_trust ~38

Return the explainable trust score, label, scoring reasons, and verification history for an MCP server.

NameTypeReqDescription
slugstringyesServer slug

No output schema declared.

Generate the install + client config for an MCP server in a given runtime (claude-desktop, cursor, vscode, windsurf, cline, continue, goose, openai-agents, langgraph, crewai).

NameTypeReqDescription
runtimestringyesRuntime slug, e.g. 'claude-desktop'

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_ecosystem_stats ~56

Live snapshot of the indexed MCP ecosystem: totals (servers, tools, handshake-verified), provenance and transport breakdowns, and the current top-trust / most-adopted / newest / biggest-trust-riser servers.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_loadout ~81

Fetch one curated loadout: its servers (each with role + LIVE trust/transport/tool-risk from the index), an aggregated governance posture for the whole kit, and the plays (see→decide→act sequences) it's designed to run.

NameTypeReqDescription
slugstringyesLoadout slug, e.g. 'gtm', 'coding', 'research'

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_server ~46

Fetch the full record for one MCP server by slug: install methods, tools, trust, verification, and provenance.

NameTypeReqDescription
slugstringyesServer slug, e.g. 'github'

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_capabilities ~72

List the capability slugs an agent can filter or look up by (e.g. 'send-email', 'query-database'), most-populated first. Use these with get_capability or search_servers' capability filter — the taxonomy isn't guessable.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitintegerMax capabilities (default 30)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_loadouts ~64

List curated loadouts — deliberately-assembled kits of MCP servers + governance + plays for a specific job (GTM, coding, research, support, infra). The agent-facing version of the /loadouts product. Use get_loadout for the full kit with live trust.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_runtimes ~48

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

plan_toolset ~159

Turn a plain-language goal into a recommended, governed toolset: the best-fit curated loadout (matched transparently by goal terms) plus an assembled set of the most relevant indexed servers, each with LIVE trust and tool-risk, and an aggregate governance posture for the kit. The decision layer over search/capability/trust/loadouts.

NameTypeReqDescription
goalstringyesWhat the agent should do, in plain language, e.g. 'triage support tickets and file bugs'.
limitintegerMax assembled servers (default 6).
risk_tolerancestring'read-only' restricts the assembled set to servers with no write/destructive tools — the safe set for an unsupervised agent. Default 'any'.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

report_broken_server ~61

Report that an MCP server's install, docs, or endpoint is broken. Creates a submission for editorial review.

NameTypeReqDescription
detailstringyesWhat's broken (install fails, endpoint down, docs wrong, …)
slugstringyesServer slug

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_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.

NameTypeReqDescription
capabilitystringFilter to servers providing a capability slug, e.g. 'send-email'. An unknown slug is reported in ignored_filters, not silently dropped.
limitintegerMax results (default 10)
official_statusstringFilter by provenance
querystringFree-text query, e.g. 'send email' or 'postgres'. Omit to browse the full index ranked by trust.
risk_levelstringFilter by tool risk. 'read-only' = has tools and none are write/destructive — the safe set to hand an autonomous agent.
transportstringFilter by transport. Many servers are still 'unknown' (transport not yet probed by the crawler).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
