Birch & Bracken MCP server

Which MCP servers are Birch & Bracken's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.birchbracken/storeverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under birchbracken.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
  • Checked on 5 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 2 of 4 tools: check arguments before calling.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

  • not sure · track an order or ask a person about sizing

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • search_products

    Find pieces in this store by words (e.g. 'wool sweater', 'cardigan', 'rust'), optionally filtered by department, size and maximum price. Empty query lists every piece.

  • get_product

    Everything the product page says about one piece: price, sizes, colour, story and details, the supplier's size chart (garment measurements), delivery estimate, returns, customer reviews and the page to buy it on.

  • store_policies

    Shipping, returns, privacy, terms or contact policy, in full, as published.

  • track_order

    The status of one order (preparing, shipped, delivered), its items, delivery estimate and tracking. Needs the 8-character order reference from the confirmation email and the email used at checkout.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "store": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://birchbracken.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http birchbracken https://birchbracken.com/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://birchbracken.com/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
