On 2026-10-20 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 252 ms.

• Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.

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.

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_certifications

  Which certification is this prose name? Start here for any plain question — a trade, field, job, skill, or company in everyday words. Returns candidates with ids, issuers, and source basis — candidates rather than a single guess when the…

  What else serves the same occupation? Traverses on SOC only — a certification sharing solely an instructional program (CIP) is not related (contract § 4).
