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 Usability64
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 930 tokens (~232/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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage98
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 93% 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

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 →
get_gig ~111
Get one gig by its slug within a supported city.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | string | yes | city slug; supported cities: oxford, brighton, sheffield, leeds, glasgow, birmingham, liverpool, nottingham, manchester, edinburgh, london, bristol, southampton, derby, cardiff, newcastle, aberdeen,… |
| slug | string | yes | the gig's url slug |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_cities ~50
List the cities gigstamp currently covers, with their listing URLs and, on a big city, the named districts search_gigs_and_events can narrow to. Call this first: only these cities return data.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_venues ~120
List the venues gigstamp tracks in a supported city, from small independent rooms to the city's larger touring venues. Each carries a scale (grassroots|major).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | string | yes | city slug; supported cities: oxford, brighton, sheffield, leeds, glasgow, birmingham, liverpool, nottingham, manchester, edinburgh, london, bristol, southampton, derby, cardiff, newcastle, aberdeen,… |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_gigs_and_events ~440
Search a supported city's upcoming live music and events: band gigs, open mics, comedy nights, jam and folk sessions, festivals, and club nights, spanning grassroots gigs at small independent venues through to major shows at the city's big rooms (the local grassroots scene is front and centre, but coverage aims to be complete). Returns them most imminent first, each with a booking link out (gigstamp does not sell tickets) and a gig-page url to cite. Filter by date range, venue, district (on a city that has them, see list_cities), category, scale (grassroots or major), or free text. Only supported cities return data (see list_cities).

| classical | boolean | – | include classical concerts (default true; false hides them) |
| covers | boolean | – | include covers bands and covers nights (default true; false hides them) |
| district | string | – | a named district's slug, e.g. camden, on a city that has districts (list_cities gives each city's list; asking for any other is an error). A venue we cannot place is left out of a district and is in… |
| from | string | – | on or after this local day, YYYY-MM-DD |
| limit | integer | – | max results (default 100) |
| query | string | – | free-text match over act / venue / summary |
| scale | string | – | narrow to grassroots (small independent venues) or major (large / touring rooms) |
