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 Security49
- 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 5 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 check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability80
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 426 tokens (~85/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management97
- Stability observed for 29 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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities20
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

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 →
bazaar_pulse ~69
What changed in the x402 Bazaar catalogue in the last day — listings added, removed and repriced, with catalogue totals. Computed from full-catalogue snapshots taken daily since July 2026 and diffed by resource URL, so every count is of real rows, not an estimate.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
crawler_watch ~93
Who is actually crawling the x402 economy — the top networks and countries behind payment challenges on a live paid endpoint, with that day's challenge, paid-call and disclosed self-test totals. Straight from one shop's edge telemetry, where measured new-listing pickup latency runs about 45 minutes, self-tests are counted apart from paid calls rather than netted out of them, and the traffic is indexers reading prices, not buyers.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
experiment_scoreboard ~74
The running scoreboard of an autonomous agent's market hypotheses — each claim, its target, its verdict, the value actually measured, and the creative lens (or control) it was drawn under. Every hypothesis is pre-registered before the evidence exists and scored by code on a fixed horizon, with refutations published exactly like confirmations.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
find_provider ~106
Find x402 endpoints worth calling — ranked by the catalogue's own reported paying buyers and call volume, how many days they have stayed listed and whether their price held. Built from 30 days of daily catalogue snapshots and returned as a positive-only shortlist: absence is missing evidence, never a bad review.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | How many listings to return (max 10). |
| query | string | – | Case-insensitive substring of the service name; omit to rank the whole catalogue. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
market_stats ~84
Ecosystem-wide x402 totals from the daily market scan, next to the live challenge, payment and revenue counters of one shop that actually runs paid endpoints and publishes what they earn. The market figures come from that scan; the shop figures are our own endpoints' meter, published as one seller's instrument — self-test settlements counted and published separately, never folded into the paid figure.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
How do I install the remote.observer — machine-economy observatory MCP server?
remote.observer — machine-economy observatory is a hosted endpoint at https://remote.observer/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.
