What this server can do
6 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
check_mac_listing(id, url)- The trust picture for one specific listing, by URL (eBay/Craigslist/OfferUp/Swappa/Facebook/Reddit) or Macfax listing id: whether Macfax knows it, whether it still passes every quality gate, scam/junk/classified/auction flags, when a scan last verified it live, its ask against the configuration's typical asking band, the platform's own seller-reputation figures where the marketplace has them (seller_signals: eBay feedback, Swappa rating; null elsewhere), and whether a verified Macfax report is attached. Facts, not verdicts.
create_mac_alert(email, config, ram_gb, min_tier, storage_gb, max_price_usd, under_typical)- Watch the market for a configuration: Macfax emails the given address when new matching listings appear. CONSENT CONTRACT: create an alert only for a user who explicitly asked for this alert on this email address. The first alert for a new email stays inactive until the email's owner clicks the confirmation link Macfax sends; nothing is emailed before that, and every alert email carries manage and unsubscribe links. Required: email, config.
get_mac_price_stats(config)- What a used Mac configuration actually sells for AND what sellers are asking right now. The sold slice is the headline: verified-sale percentiles when the config has enough recent sales (sold.basis 'direct'; n and window ride along), else the asking band scaled by a measured clearance ratio (sold.basis 'calibrated', ratio disclosed). The asking band (median/p25/p75 with sample size), per-channel medians with net-to-seller after fees, launch MSRP retention and Apple trade-in floor ride along as seller guidance. Use the sold estimate as the price of the Mac; use asking to set a list price. The slices are separate and never blended — preserve the basis label when quoting. Required: config.
get_mac_report(report_id)- A verified Macfax condition report as structured data: hardware-verified identity, Activation Lock / MDM / serial-match checks, coverage status, and the signing chain. Use when a listing or seller shares a macfax.com/r/ link and the buyer wants the facts behind it. status "superseded" means the same Mac was re-verified more recently under a newer report; treat the payload as historical state, not current. Required: report_id.
lookup_mac_serial(serial)- Check a Mac serial number: whether a verified Macfax report exists for it, plus the model and year decoded from Apple's data for pre-2021 serials. 2021+ Macs have 10-character randomized serials that encode nothing, so for those the honest answer is the format check and the report cross-reference. Lookup is advisory and cannot verify condition, Activation Lock, or possession; a Macfax report can. Required: serial.
search_mac_listings(sort, year, limit, config, family, ram_gb, min_tier, chip_tier, storage_gb, max_price_usd)- Live used-Mac listings aggregated across eBay, Craigslist, OfferUp, Swappa, Facebook and Reddit, with scam clusters, junk titles, classified-ad bait, auctions and stale/sold rows already filtered out. Every result deep-links to the source listing where the purchase happens. Filter by configuration, family, chip, RAM, storage, price ceiling, and verified-report tier.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
| Signal | Value | What it measures | Window | Observed | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GitHub stars | 1 | Number of GitHub accounts that bookmarked this repository since it was created. It is a bookmark count, not installs, not active users and not quality. | cumulative, all time | GitHub | |
| Last commit | 2026-07-20 | Date of the most recent push to any branch. This is the strongest cheap indicator of whether the project is still maintained. | point in time | GitHub | |
| Open issues | 0 | Open issues plus open pull requests, as GitHub counts them together. A high number can mean an active project or an abandoned one. | as of fetch | GitHub | |
| Latest published version | 1.0.1 | Latest version string the maintainer published to the registry. | as of fetch | Model Context Protocol | |
| Registry record last updated | 2026-07-20 | When the registry record was last updated by its maintainer. | point in time | Model Context Protocol | |
| License | MIT | Licence GitHub detected in the repository. Detection can be wrong; the LICENSE file is authoritative. | as of fetch | GitHub | |
| First listed in the MCP Registry | 2026-07-20 | Date this server was first published to the official MCP Registry. Not a usage or quality measure. | point in time | Model Context Protocol | |
| repository status | active | The repository exists on GitHub and is not archived. This says nothing about how recently it was worked on. | as of fetch | GitHub | |
| mcp tools declared | 6 tools | Number of functions the server itself declared when asked to list them. This is what the server offers an agent, not a measure of how well any of them work. | as of probe | macfax.com | |
| mcp endpoint status | ok | The server listed 6 functions when asked. | as of probe | macfax.com |

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as apple-silicon, marketplace. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.
This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
