Changes things 3Claude Code: ask
generate_runtime_configGenerate the install + client config for an MCP server in a given runtime (claude-desktop, cursor, vscode, windsurf, cline, continue, goose, openai-agents, langgraph, crewai).No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "generate_runtime_config" says "generate": a word for a change.
Description, as the server wrote it 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).
plan_toolsetTurn 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 index…No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
Description, as the server wrote it 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.
report_broken_serverReport that an MCP server's install, docs, or endpoint is broken.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
Description, as the server wrote it Report that an MCP server's install, docs, or endpoint is broken. Creates a submission for editorial review.

check_trustReturn the explainable trust score, label, scoring reasons, and verification history for an MCP server.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Return the explainable trust score, label, scoring reasons, and verification history for an MCP server.
compare_serversCompare two MCP servers side by side: trust, transport, tools, install, and links.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "compare_servers" says "compare": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Compare two MCP servers side by side: trust, transport, tools, install, and links.
get_alternativesFind verified MCP servers with the same capabilities as a given server, ranked by trust.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_alternatives" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Find verified MCP servers with the same capabilities as a given server, ranked by trust.
get_capabilityList the best MCP servers that provide a capability (e.g.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_capability" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it List the best MCP servers that provide a capability (e.g. 'send-email', 'web-search'), ranked by trust.

Why it is in this group
- The name "get_ecosystem_stats" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it 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.

Why it is in this group
- The name "get_loadout" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it 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.
get_serverFetch the full record for one MCP server by slug: install methods, tools, trust, verification, and provenance.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_server" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Fetch the full record for one MCP server by slug: install methods, tools, trust, verification, and provenance.
list_capabilitiesList the capability slugs an agent can filter or look up by (e.g.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "list_capabilities" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it 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_loadoutsList curated loadouts — deliberately-assembled kits of MCP servers + governance + plays for a specific job (GTM, coding, research, support, infra).No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "list_loadouts" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it 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_runtimesList the runtimes generate_runtime_config supports (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, agent frameworks, …), with each one's config path.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "list_runtimes" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it 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.
search_serversSearch the MCPExplorer index of MCP servers by free text and filters.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "search_servers" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it 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.
This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
Exfil surface
Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.
No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or untrusted-input or outbound.
- Reads private data0
- Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
- Reads text others write0
- Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
- Can send data out0
- Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.
Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.
