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 Security74
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability81
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1070 tokens (~214/item across 5 items; 5 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 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
  • 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 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 6 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
Install

How do I install the Community Board MCP server?

Community Board is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.shavitnetzer.com/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.

MCP tools · 5 exposed · ~693 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. 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 →

Tool Tokens
community_board_help ~73

Use this when the user just says 'Community Board' or 'community-board', asks what this app can do, or asks for help or examples ('מה אפשר לעשות כאן?', 'עזרה'). Returns a summary, supported capabilities, the live category list, example requests in Hebrew and English, current limitations and search tips.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No examples provided.

get_listing ~83

Use this when the user wants more details about a listing returned by a search. Retrieves one listing by its UUID. Active listings are visible to everyone. Draft, sold, closed, or expired listings are returned only to their owner when the local development identity is configured; otherwise they are reported as not found.

list_categories ~74

Use this to map what the user wants (e.g. car, apartment, plumber, job, dog, event) to a category slug before searching. Returns the category slugs and display names accepted by listing creation and search. Use a returned slug as the category parameter. An empty categories array means no categories are currently configured.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

NameTypeReqDescription

No examples provided.

search_listings ~271

Use this first whenever the user asks to find, search for, buy or rent something locally (e.g. 'תחפש לי', 'תמצא לי', 'אני מחפש לקנות'): second-hand items, vehicles, apartments, jobs, professionals, pets or events. Searches active Community Board listings. Filter by words in the title or description, category slug, and inclusive minimum or maximum price. Supply both latitude and longitude to calculate distance; also supply radius_km to limit results to that distance. Use distance sorting only with an origin, relevance to put title matches first for a query, or newest for recent listings. An empty results array means no active listings matched the filters.

NameTypeReqDescription
category––Optional category slug, such as vehicles or real_estate.
latitude––Latitude of the search origin; provide together with longitude.
longitude––Longitude of the search origin; provide together with latitude.
max_price––Optional inclusive maximum price; use the listing currency.
min_price––Optional inclusive minimum price; use the listing currency.
query––Optional words to match in title or description.
radius_km––Optional maximum distance in kilometers; requires latitude and longitude.
sortstring–Result ordering: relevance, distance (requires origin), or newest.
NameTypeReqDescription
countintegeryes–
resultsarrayyes–

No examples provided.

search_nearby ~192

Use this when the user asks what is available, sold or happening near a place or near them (e.g. 'מה מוכרים לידי', 'מה קורה לידי', 'איש מקצוע באזור'). If their location is unknown, ask for a city or area first instead of guessing. Finds active listings near a geographic point using PostGIS distance search. Latitude and longitude are separate decimal-degree values; radius_km is required and measured in kilometers. You may narrow by category. Distance ordering is the default. An empty results array means nothing active matched within the radius.

NameTypeReqDescription
category––Optional category slug.
latitudenumberyesSearch origin latitude in decimal degrees.
longitudenumberyesSearch origin longitude in decimal degrees.
radius_kmnumberyesMaximum distance from the origin, in kilometers.
sortstring–Result ordering; distance requires the supplied origin.
