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

Inspect individual checks 22 recorded

Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 448 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name ai-apps-that-work-tools.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 8 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 448 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 448 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

    35 of 35 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 2026-11-12T12:36:51.016938Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 8

ab_test_sample_size

Returns how many results each version of a prompt or model needs before a difference in how often results work first time is statistically real (two-proportion z-test, two-sided), the total across both versions, and how many days that takes at a given daily volume.

Discovered
build_judge_prompt

Builds a pass/fail LLM-as-a-judge prompt for one kind of AI step (make, answer, transform, extract, judge, find, predict, plan, act or learn). Returns the prompt with {{input}} and {{result}} placeholders, numbered pass conditions (the block's starter conditions unless you send your own), up to 3 pass and 3 fail examples interleaved, and a JSON or XML answer format.

Discovered
judge_agreement

Compares a person's verdicts with an AI judge's verdicts on the same results. Returns the agreement rate, Cohen's kappa with confidence intervals, precision and recall per verdict, the agreement of a judge that always gives the most common verdict, a trust verdict (kappa 0.6 or more with at least 80% recall on every verdict; 0.4 to 0.6 is borderline; under 30 results is too few) and the rows where the two disagree.

Discovered
launch_checklist

The 20 AI-specific launch checks for an AI app (spending caps, rate limits, server-side keys, credit charging, version tags, records of which results worked first time, real cost per result, switching models safely). Returns the checks not yet done, each with why it matters and a request for a coding agent, plus one combined request.

Discovered
model_prices

Looks up list prices for LLMs (USD per million input, output and cached input tokens, and context size), image models (USD per image by quality and size) and video models (USD per second by resolution), with each price's source page, the date prices were checked and any announced API shutdown.

Discovered
model_shutdowns

Lists announced API shutdown dates for AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and other providers, with days left, the suggested replacement, the source page, and links to a cost comparison and a side-by-side test of the replacement where this site has them.

Discovered
model_switch_cost

Compares two priced LLMs on six common task shapes (support answer, invoice extraction, lead scoring, email draft, translation, search re-ranking). Returns list prices, cost per 1,000 requests on each model, the cost ratio, the break-even (how often the new model's results must work first time, relative to the current one, to cost no more per result that works) and the current model's announced shutdown.

Discovered
real_cost_per_result

Prices the AI steps behind one request from current list prices (LLM tokens, images, video seconds or a fixed amount) and returns the cost per request, the real cost per result that worked first time (cost per request divided by the worked-first-time share), the monthly spend wasted on results that didn't work, and credit-pricing numbers: margin per result and the credits per request needed to break even or reach a target margin.
