Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.stockfilm/mcp-serververified in the MCP registry

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

  • Checked on 3 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

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

  • Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: create_4k_checkout, create_dataset_checkout

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 →

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.
