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 Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (delete_price_alert). See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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 Usability71
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2301 tokens (~153/item across 15 items; 15 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage97
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 90% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- 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
- All 2 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 16 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha MCP server?
io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.pricewatcha.com/, 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.

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 →

What is the io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha MCP server?
io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha. Track prices & price history on any online shop, with alerts and an API. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.pricewatcha.com).
Is the io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha MCP server safe to use?
io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha scores 77 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 io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha MCP server expose?
io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha exposes 15 tools: get_api_status, track_product, get_job_status, get_product, get_price_history, and 10 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,890 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha MCP server still maintained?
io.github.pricewatcha/pricewatcha is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
