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 Security74
- 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 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 Usability73
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 734 tokens (~183/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 Management10
- Stability observed for 3 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
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
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the PetCare Atlas MCP server?
PetCare Atlas is a hosted endpoint at https://petcareatlas.co.uk/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 →
find_providers Find vets and pet-care providers ~284
Find UK vet practices, vet hospitals, specialists and accredited practitioners (physiotherapists, hydrotherapists, behaviourists and others) near a place, nearest first. An emergency search starts with a fixed safety line and lists RCVS-accredited emergency service clinics and the nearest vets. Returns each listing's name, id, type, town, postcode, distance, phone, accreditations and a link to its page. Listings come from public professional registers. Nobody pays to be listed or ranked. No clinical advice.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| care | string | – | Only providers that list services in this area of care. Many practices list none, so this can miss practices that offer it. |
| emergency | boolean | – | True for a search for urgent care. The result then starts with a fixed safety line and lists emergency service clinics and the nearest vets. |
| limit | integer | – | How many to return. Default 10, at most 20. |
| name | string | – | Part of the provider's name, e.g. "Vets Now". |
| place | string | yes | A UK postcode, postcode district or town, e.g. "HP11 2LP", "BS1" or "Bristol". |
| radius_km | integer | – | How far to look. Default 25. |
| type | string | – | Only this kind of provider. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
medicine_prices What online retailers charge for a medicine ~116
What UK online retailers accredited by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate charge for a named veterinary medicine, pack by pack, with a link to each retailer and the date the price was read. Search by the medicine's name, e.g. "Bravecto" or "Apoquel 16 mg". Within a pack, retailers are listed by what the owner pays. Says when a medicine needs a vet's prescription. Does not suggest medicines or doses.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | string | yes | The medicine's name as it appears on the pack or prescription. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
procedure_prices What UK vets charge for a procedure ~137
What UK vet practices publish for a common procedure, such as a consultation, vaccination, neutering, dental work, X-ray, blood test or euthanasia. Gives the middle half of published prices, how many practices publish one, and when they were read, or a researched guide range where too few publish. A guide to help an owner plan. It is not a quote.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| place | string | – | Optional UK town or area, to link its local price comparison page if there is one. |
| procedure | string | yes | The procedure in plain words, e.g. "dog spay", "consultation", "booster vaccination". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
provider_details A provider's listing ~94
One PetCare Atlas listing in full: address, phone, website, accreditations, services, who owns the practice when Companies House records show it, and the prices the practice publishes, each with its source and the date it was read. No clinical advice.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | The id of a PetCare Atlas listing, as returned in search results, e.g. "vets-now-high-wycombe". |
No output schema declared.
