PreShiftIQ MCP server

Which servers in the official MCP registry are PreShiftIQ's own, 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.preshiftiq/shiftiq-mcpverified in the MCP registry

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

  • 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.

What an agent can do with it

  • not sure · Match supply chain software to a documented set of operational requirements
  • not sure · Shortlist vendors by measured fit rather than reviews or sponsorship
  • not sure · Connect with vendors who have already reviewed the buyer's requirements

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 (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 →

  • search

    Searches 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.

  • fetch

    Returns one published PreShiftIQ document by the id search returned: its title, its text and its URL.

  • my_assessment_status

  • my_matches

    For 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_status

    For 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…

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/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.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.
