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
- 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability68
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1052 tokens (~150/item across 7 items; 7 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 Management3
- Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage67
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 8 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 Steady Steel MCP server?
Steady Steel is a hosted endpoint at https://www.steadysteel.org/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 →
create_handoff_link Make an order link ~122
Make the link the person orders from: one page on steadysteel.org showing what was quoted, with a button for each item that opens the page selling it (a plate in the plate quoter, a product on its order page), where they check it and pay. Takes one to ten quote ids, each ready and unexpired, with ten items at most across them. Give the person the url. Anyone holding it can open the page, so give it only to them. Nothing is paid through this server.

create_rfq_link Make a quote request link ~152
For work quote_plate and quote_product cannot price (a part from a drawing, a weldment, a repair, plate past the laser): describe the job in words, sizes in inches, and get a link to Steady Steel's quote request form with it filled in. The person adds their own name and contact details there and sends it; Steady Steel replies with a price. Send nothing about the person: a name, email or phone field, or a description carrying a link, a web or email address or a phone number, is refused. The link works for 30 days.

get_quote Get a quote ~65
Get a quote quote_plate or quote_product made, by its id, exactly as it was priced. Its status reads expired once it is past expires_at: ask for a new quote then. A quote is kept 30 days past its expiry.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_materials List plate materials ~76
List the plate materials Steady Steel laser cuts, each with every thickness sold in it (thickness_in, inches), whether it is stocked, and a lead time in business days. Call it before quote_plate: a plate quote takes a material id and a thickness_in exactly as listed here. Empty while plate is not quoted online.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
quote_plate Quote a cut plate ~280
Price one flat plate of steel, stainless or aluminum, laser cut to an outline with holes, slots and bends, at a firm price from the engine behind the plate quoter on steadysteel.org. Every length is inches, +x right and +y up. material and thickness_in must be exactly as list_materials gives them. The outline is a rectangle, circle, ring (a washer) or polygon; holes and bends use its frame, and for a rectangle, circle or ring the origin is the lower-left corner of the box around it. quantity is how many (1 to 999), and quantity_options prices up to five other quantities. A part that cannot be made as asked comes back blocked, with an issue saying why: change it and quote again. Amounts are CAD cents with HST as its own figure, firm until expires_at. Show the person the drawing at preview_url. Nothing is bought here: to order, make a link with create_handoff_link and give it to the person, who checks the part and pays on steadysteel.org.

quote_product Quote a catalog product ~147
Price a catalog product at its firm unit price: the slug and a tier from search_products (kit or welded), only a tier marked orderable. quantity is 1 to 50. Amounts are CAD cents before HST, with HST as its own figure. Freight is quoted by Steady Steel after the order and is not in the quote. Nothing is bought here: to order, make a link with create_handoff_link and give it to the person, who orders and pays on steadysteel.org.

search_products Search catalog products ~108
Find the pre-designed steel products Steady Steel sells on steadysteel.org/products, by words in their name or description; send no query to list them all. Each lists its tiers: kit (the steel cut to our drawings) and welded (built in our shop), with a firm unit price in CAD cents before HST. Only a tier marked orderable can be quoted. Freight on a kit or a welded unit is quoted by Steady Steel after the order.
