On 2026-10-19 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 118 ms.

• Its tools do compare snow reports across ski resorts worldwide, but not get powder alerts when a resort reaches a snow threshold.

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.

• Every tool passes all six checks.

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 →

• find_powder

  Rank resorts by new snow in the last 24 or 48 hours, optionally within one state/province and above a minimum. Pass sourceOnly="snotel" to answer "where did it snow most, measured only" with station data alone. Resorts with no report are…

• get_percent_of_normal

  SNOTEL-fed resorts ranked by snowpack relative to normal: snow water equivalent against the station's own 1991–2020 median for today's date, deepest first, optionally within one state. Only measured station readings qualify, inside the…

• list_regions
