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 Security57
- 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 4 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 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 Usability57
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2065 tokens (~516/item across 4 items; 4 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 Management48
- Stability check failed: schema churn in the 30 days we've observed: 3 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 1 additions. See how to fix → Fail
Tool Coverage88
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 63% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 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
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the Stoory Hire Specialist MCP server?
Stoory Hire Specialist is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.stoory.io/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 →
cancel_task Cancel task ~32
Cancels the task, as long as the specialist has not started work yet.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| task_id | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
create_task Create task ~700
Invites one or more chosen specialists to a project — does NOT charge payment. budget is a single amount for the whole task (not multiplied per specialist) — whoever accepts it does the work for it. Requires user_confirmed=true, set only after the user has explicitly confirmed in the conversation the choice of specialists, the list of shared files and the estimated cost. Estimate budget yourself from the problem's complexity (e.g. 1h = a single well-localized bug / a simple document fix / a minor graphic tweak; 2h = a standard debug across a few files / a draft legal document (e.g. Privacy Policy) / a landing page design; 3h = an architecture review, a full legal package (ToS+Privacy+GDPR) or a compliance audit, full branding, no clear diagnosis) times the specialist's min_rate_per_hour (from search_specialists) — this field is informational, not enforced, always in USD (the only currency on the marketplace).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| budget | number | yes | – |
| context_files | array | – | The minimal set of files the specialist needs. Each entry is { name, url?, content_base64? } and must carry exactly one source. `url` is strongly preferred: pass a link if the user gave one (Google D… |
| description | string | yes | – |
| language | string | yes | The task's language — must match the language the user phrased title/description in (there is no auto-detection, set it according to the user's input). |
| problem_context | string | yes | – |
| specialist_ids | array | yes | Id of one or more specialists to invite. |
| timeline | string | – | How urgent the project is from the client's perspective — ask the user directly, do not guess. |
| title | string | yes | – |
| user_confirmed | boolean | yes | Must be true — set it only after the user's explicit confirmation in the conversation. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_task Get task ~144
Returns the whole task record in one call — use it both to check progress and to read the result. Fields: status, title, desc, budget, deadline, timeline, created, modified; specialist_invited and specialist_accepted (arrays of { id, profile_url } — profile_url is already in the right language, show it to the user as a link, not a bare id); and `files` — URLs of every file attached to the task on Stoory (the client's context files plus whatever the specialist delivers). Call it again when the user asks about progress. create_task already returns attached_files for the files it uploaded.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| task_id | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_specialists Search specialists ~577
Searches for specialists in the Stoory marketplace via semantic search. Result quality depends mostly on a well-built `query` — see the `query` field description. If a result has <3 hits or only 'Alternative fit', retry with a simpler/broader query (see `query`) instead of asking the user; only after about 3 failed attempts tell the user you have no one to recommend for these requirements and suggest widening the criteria.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | Only when the user explicitly asks for the specialist's country (e.g. 'a designer from Poland'). Full English country name, e.g. "Poland", "Germany" — not an ISO code. Ignored if geo_location is also… |
| geo_location | object | – | Only when the user gives a specific city/location and wants to search nearby (e.g. 'near Warsaw', 'a designer in Warsaw'). An object { lat, lon, radius_meters } — determine the lat/lon of the named c… |
| languages | array | – | Only when the user explicitly asks for a specific specialist language (e.g. 'a Polish-speaking designer'). Allowed values: English, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Italian — any other value is rejec… |
| limit | number | – | Default 10, raise to 20 for weak results or when the user asks for more options (max 20). |
| query | string | yes | The specialist's role and skills, MAX 12 words, natural language — not a full sentence describing the user's problem. In English if possible (faster response and better hits than other languages). Go… |
