- Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
- Checked on 2 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.
Once connected
- Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 7 of 12 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.

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 (30%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%) and use (15%). 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 →
describe_platformDescribes PreShiftIQ and how its vendor matching works. Use this when a user asks what PreShiftIQ is or how it matches the client, the company evaluating technology, with supply chain technology vendors. Returns the platform description…
list_verticalsLists the technology categories PreShiftIQ covers, each with its live covered-vendor count and the URL of its page for clients. Counts come from the live catalog reader, the same one the public site reads. Use this when a user asks what…
get_public_catalogLists the vendors PreShiftIQ covers in one vertical, alphabetically, as catalog coverage only, with no participation status; the matches of the client (the evaluating company) come from their own completed assessment. Use this when a user…
explain_matchingExplains how PreShiftIQ computes matches: disqualification first, then measured-fit scoring, with every match recorded immutably. Includes the live tier thresholds and the fit-index note. Use this when a user asks how matches are computed…
how_we_are_paidStates how PreShiftIQ is paid. Use this when a user asks about cost, fees, or independence.
start_assessmentReturns the URL the client (the evaluating company) opens to start their operational assessment for a chosen technology category. The URL is opened by the user; this tool writes nothing itself. If no category is given, the tool asks the…
searchSearches what PreShiftIQ publishes: the platform's own description, the published answers for clients in each covered category, and the catalog of covered vendors. Returns matching documents by id, in a fixed order; nothing is ranked.
fetchReturns one published PreShiftIQ document by the id search returned: its title, its text and its URL.
my_assessment_statusFor the signed-in client (the evaluating company): whether the latest completed PreShiftIQ assessment has results, whether those results are under review, how many matched vendors were notified, how many have accepted, and how many…
my_matchesFor the signed-in client (the evaluating company): the notified matches of the latest completed assessment, or of the assessment named by assessment_id, best score first, each as a masked card with its score and tier. On a review account…
my_scorecard_statusFor the signed-in vendor: the scorecard's status and completion, and its lead counts (pending, accepted, declined, expiring soon). With match_id, the contact details of the client (the evaluating company) for that lead, and the client's…
my_clientsFor a signed-in consultant or private equity firm member: the assessments of the clients the firm represents (the companies evaluating technology) who have accepted the advisor disclosure, in any status, each with its status, its Tier 1…
How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"shiftiq-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.preshiftiq.com/mcp"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http preshiftiq https://mcp.preshiftiq.com/mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://mcp.preshiftiq.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.
