## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-29.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 8 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 617 tokens (~77/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 75/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 25% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Install

### How do I install the Measured data: Claude Code and the coding-agent market MCP server?

Measured data: Claude Code and the coding-agent market is a hosted endpoint at https://agentexchange.work/data/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.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-09-28 (score 60, +1)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-09-26 (score 59, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-09-25 (score 58, +1)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-09-24 (score 57)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (8)

### `list_datasets` (~61 tokens)

List the measured datasets on agentexchange.work/data (Claude Code cost anatomy, tokens per day, plugin marketplace star sample, MCP registry census, npm MCP-server download sample, Show HN outcomes, issue gap maps, token-reduction tools) with pull dates.

### `get_dataset` (~64 tokens)

Return one dataset as JSON. Names: cost-anatomy, tokens-per-day, plugins-marketplace, mcp-registry, npm-mcp-servers, show-hn-claude-code, issues-gap-map, token-reduction-tools.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required)

### `issue_gap_map` (~63 tokens)

Top open issues by thumbs-up for anthropics/claude-code, openai/codex or google-gemini/gemini-cli: what users ask for loudest that is still open.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `repo` (string, required)

### `show_hn_claude_code_stats` (~56 tokens)

Points distribution of every Show HN launch with 'Claude Code' in the title over the last 90 days (count, median, p75, p90, share reaching 50 points, top posts).

### `mcp_registry_census` (~40 tokens)

Full-crawl census of the official MCP registry: unique servers, new servers per day, remote share, share of remote servers with no auth.

### `score_idea` (~148 tokens)

Score a product idea against LIVE market data: the idea in plain words is turned into a market lookup, comparables are pulled from the directory where it would ship (npm, VS Code, WordPress.org, GitHub, Hacker News, Apify, Hugging Face, MCP registry), newcomers (<=24 months) set the reach, sourced priors give conversion and retention. Returns KILL / PASS / UNKNOWN with the deciding number, month-12 revenue ceiling, months to first dollar, and the comparables with links. Takes ~20 s.

Input parameters:

- `idea` (string, required): the product idea, price and whether it has a free tier, in plain words (8-300 chars)

### `github_trending` (~86 tokens)

GitHub Trending (which has no official API or history): today's list, this week, this month, or a language's daily list; or a past day's snapshot by date. Scraped daily and archived.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): YYYY-MM-DD of an archived snapshot
- `language` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `since` (string)

### `claude_code_cost_anatomy` (~52 tokens)

Measured anatomy of 160 real Claude Code sessions: cache-read share of billed context, oversized tool-output share, and the replay effect of capping tool results at 8,000 characters.
