Unmeasured means there is not enough evidence to decide. How these checks work

Core

  • Not measured
    Reachable

    The latest probe was skipped, so this is not measured.

  • Not measured
    Valid handshake

    The latest probe was skipped, so this is not measured.

  • Not measured
    Lists tools

    The latest probe was skipped, so this is not measured.

  • Not measured
    Current protocol

    The latest probe was skipped, so this is not measured.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 422 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 422 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Not measured
    Open access

    No completed probe yet.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    31 of 31 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-11-01T05:29:44.451937Z, within 180 days.

  • Pass
    Open-source licence

    GitHub reports an OSI licence.

Capabilities

Tools 5

connect

Find the shortest chain of in-text links from one Edgepedia article to another (at most 6 hops), with the sentence that makes each hop; pass two ids as `search` returns them.

Discovered
fetch

Read an encyclopedia article in full: one Edgepedia article as Markdown with its citations, by a `search` result's id. Returns id, title, text, url, and metadata (topic path, license, credit). A `topic:` id lists that topic's parent, narrower topics, and articles, 120 a page; `topic:root` is the top of the tree, `topic:geo` the geography tree. `citations: false` gives [n] markers instead of inline source links. Show the `credit` line with any text you quote.

Discovered
related

Find encyclopedia articles related to an Edgepedia article: its topic-mates, a few from each neighboring topic, and its geography neighbors. Pass its id, as for `fetch`. Returns groups of results; `fetch` a group's `topic` id for more.

Discovered
resolve

Find which encyclopedia article a name means: Edgepedia's best match for a person, place, thing, or concept named in a text, with a confidence, whether the name is ambiguous, and the alternatives. Pass the name ("Mercury"), and optionally words from the text around it (`context`: "planet orbit") or a topic id the article must sit under (`type`). Returns `result` (id, title, url) and `alternatives`; pass an id to `fetch`.

Discovered
search

Search an encyclopedia for facts about a person, place, thing, event, or concept: Edgepedia, more than 500,000 articles with citations. Pass the subject's name ("Mount Fuji", "photosynthesis"), not a question; other names and misspellings match, and when no title matches, articles whose text does follow, marked `match: fulltext`. Returns results with id, title, url, and preview text, plus a `topic:` result when the query names a topic ("painters"); pass an id to `fetch`. `limit` and `page` reach further results.
