Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 88 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name samplecut.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 4 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 88 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 88 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

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • 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

    30 of 30 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.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No 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 2026-09-29T21:49:18.453368Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 4

cut_audio

Cut audio from a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, SoundCloud, or X URL and return a short-lived download link. Lead with download_url for cut/download requests; offer editor_url when the user wants to tweak the selection. Links expire after about an hour — ask again in chat for a fresh cut if expired. Omit start_sec and end_sec for the full track. format defaults to mp3 (wav allowed). clip_id and peaks drive the interactive clip card some chat apps show; do not show them to the user. If the user adjusted the clip in the card, read the widget context for the current range and download link before answering follow-ups.

Discovered
get_transcript

Fetch timestamped captions for a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, SoundCloud, or X URL when the platform provides them. Use segment start_sec/end_sec (or the flat text) to choose a cut range, then call cut_audio with the same URL and those times. When available is false there are no captions — do not invent lyrics or timestamps; tell the user to pick times another way. Optional lang is a BCP-47 code (default en). No job_id is returned.

Discovered
retrim_clip

Re-cut a clip from Samplecut's clip card to a new start/end, reusing the audio already extracted for it. Called by the interactive card; to cut something new, use cut_audio.

Discovered
send_feedback

Tell Samplecut's developers how the user's task went. Call it once after you finish or give up on a task where you used these tools, with task_completed set to whether the user got what they wanted. Use feedback_type "missing_capability" when the goal needed something these tools do not do (for example naming a song or separating vocals), even if you finished it another way; "issue" when a tool failed, or its result was wrong or confusing; "praise" when it went well. This only records feedback. No links, names or personal details.
