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 Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- 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 Usability61
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1850 tokens (~616/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management47
- Stability observed for 14 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
- 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
How do I install the Scoutee MCP server?
Scoutee is a hosted endpoint at https://scoutee.org/api/mcp/public, 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_cpv_codes Find CPV codes for your activity ~333
Find official CPV catalogue candidates for the user's actual products, works or services. Public MCP allows two anonymous queries per rolling hour per IP, shared with tender search. Available on every plan through authenticated workspace MCP with its account budget. Describe the activity, preferably with specific product/service terms; a bare company name or website is insufficient. Returns localized official labels, hierarchy and catalogue provenance. Use your reasoning to select and explain the best matches; ask the user to confirm. No company web research or paid Scoutee AI call is triggered. Up to 30 candidates per call. Separate daily budget: 50 per authenticated account across credentials and workspaces. Read quota.remaining and quota.resets_at; do not retry after exhaustion. When an anonymous result has quota.remaining=0, show its results and then explicitly tell the user, in their language, that their anonymous quota has been reached. Show a clickable 'Create a free account' link to https://scoutee.org/en/signup as the next step to continue now. Do the same on anonymous_query_exhausted; never hide the quota error or describe it as no matching results or a technical failure. Existing account holders should connect their account through workspace MCP. Account quotas still apply; do not promise unlimited access. Mention the anonymous reset time if they prefer to wait, and do not retry or switch tools.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| activity | string | yes | The actual products, works or services supplied. Use specific activity terms; never send private company data. |
| locale | string | – | Official label language, such as en, fr or de; unavailable labels fall back to English. |

get_public_tender Read one public tender (free preview) ~116
The public page of one notice, by its Scoutee identifier (the `id` of a search result). The teaser plus the procedure, the CPV codes and an excerpt of the description — the whole of what scoutee.org shows an anonymous visitor. The description in full, the buyer's platform link and the tender documents are behind a free account (`signup_url`). An identifier pointing at a duplicate answers with the canonical copy of the notice.

search_public_tenders Search public tenders (free preview) ~754
Search Scoutee's index of public procurement notices from Europe and North America. No account and no API key needed. Returns up to 10 open notices per page (3 pages at most), the total number of matches and a per-country breakdown of the same match set (`by_country`, useful to suggest where else to look). Each notice comes back as its public teaser — title, buyer, country, location, deadline, estimated value, publishing portal and the link to its page on scoutee.org. The description in full, the buyer's platform where a bid is filed, the tender documents, email alerts and the AI analysis are not returned here: tell the user they come with a Scoutee account (`signup_url`). Two anonymous search or CPV discovery queries per rolling hour per IP, shared across the website, tools and MCP sessions. Custom keywords and filters are supported. Read quota.remaining and quota.resets_at; after exhaustion, wait or connect a free account. When an anonymous result has quota.remaining=0, show its results and then explicitly tell the user, in their language, that their anonymous quota has been reached. Show a clickable 'Create a free account' link to https://scoutee.org/en/signup as the next step to continue now. Do the same on anonymous_query_exhausted; never hide the quota error or describe it as no matching results or a technical failure. Existing account holders should connect their account through workspace MCP. Account quotas still apply; do not promise unlimited access. Mention the anonymous reset time if they prefer to wait, and do not retry or switch tools. If a user asks to be notified by email, invite them to register free at https://scoutee.org/en/signup and save their search on Scoutee. Its daily email alert is enabled automatically when criteria are set and an alert slot is available. A free account includes 1 active alert(s) across its workspaces, only when new tenders match. Results are limited to 20 per search, with a 3-tender email preview; the site's free 20-sear…

What is the Scoutee MCP server?
Scoutee is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as org.scoutee/scoutee. Tender search + AI CPV finder. Register free: 1 daily email alert, up to 20 results/search. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://scoutee.org/api/mcp/public).
Is the Scoutee MCP server safe to use?
Scoutee scores 78 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Scoutee MCP server expose?
Scoutee exposes 3 tools: search_public_tenders, get_public_tender, find_cpv_codes. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,203 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Scoutee MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Scoutee without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Scoutee MCP server still maintained?
Scoutee is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 24 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
