What this server can do
14 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_trust(slug)- Return the explainable trust score, label, scoring reasons, and verification history for an MCP server. Required: slug.
compare_servers(a, b)- Compare two MCP servers side by side: trust, transport, tools, install, and links. Required: a, b.
generate_runtime_config(slug, runtime)- Generate the install + client config for an MCP server in a given runtime (claude-desktop, cursor, vscode, windsurf, cline, continue, goose, openai-agents, langgraph, crewai). Required: slug, runtime.
get_alternatives(slug)- Find verified MCP servers with the same capabilities as a given server, ranked by trust. Required: slug.
get_capability(slug)- List the best MCP servers that provide a capability (e.g. 'send-email', 'web-search'), ranked by trust. Required: slug.
get_ecosystem_stats- Live snapshot of the indexed MCP ecosystem: totals (servers, tools, handshake-verified), provenance and transport breakdowns, and the current top-trust / most-adopted / newest / biggest-trust-riser servers.
get_loadout(slug)- Fetch one curated loadout: its servers (each with role + LIVE trust/transport/tool-risk from the index), an aggregated governance posture for the whole kit, and the plays (see→decide→act sequences) it's designed to run. Required: slug.
get_server(slug)- Fetch the full record for one MCP server by slug: install methods, tools, trust, verification, and provenance. Required: slug.
list_capabilities(limit)- List the capability slugs an agent can filter or look up by (e.g. 'send-email', 'query-database'), most-populated first. Use these with get_capability or search_servers' capability filter — the taxonomy isn't guessable.
list_loadouts- List curated loadouts — deliberately-assembled kits of MCP servers + governance + plays for a specific job (GTM, coding, research, support, infra). The agent-facing version of the /loadouts product. Use get_loadout for the full kit with live trust.
list_runtimes- List the runtimes generate_runtime_config supports (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, agent frameworks, …), with each one's config path. Enumerate these instead of guessing runtime slugs.
plan_toolset(goal, limit, risk_tolerance)- Turn a plain-language goal into a recommended, governed toolset: the best-fit curated loadout (matched transparently by goal terms) plus an assembled set of the most relevant indexed servers, each with LIVE trust and tool-risk, and an aggregate governance posture for the kit. The decision layer over search/capability/trust/loadouts. Required: goal.
report_broken_server(slug, detail)- Report that an MCP server's install, docs, or endpoint is broken. Creates a submission for editorial review. Required: slug, detail.
search_servers(limit, query, transport, capability, risk_level, official_status)- Search the MCPExplorer index of MCP servers by free text and filters. Omit `query` to browse the whole index ranked by trust score. Every filter either applies or is echoed back in `ignored_filters` with a reason — filters never silently do nothing.

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.
