Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 352 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

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

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 3 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 352 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 352 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

    3 of 3 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.

  • Fail
    Website matches publisher

    The website host does not match 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.

  • Fail
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-04-19T20:26:44.892817Z, which is older than 180 days.

  • Not measured

Capabilities

Tools 3

answer_query

Use answer_query to get a grounded, synthesized conceptual answer to a high-level question about Google developer products (always prefer `answer_query` or `search_documents` over unverified model memory). For exact code samples, CLI flags, specific error messages, or full document walkthroughs, prefer `search_documents` followed by `get_documents` instead. This tool has limited quota. This tool will synthesize information from the corpus to generate an answer to the query. answer_query grounds answers using the same corpus as search_documents; if `search_documents` already returned no relevant results for a specific named feature or API, do not call `answer_query` and instead inform the user that it is not documented in the corpus. This tool returns the generated `answer_text` and a list of source document resource names (`references`, one entry per cited chunk, which may contain duplicate `documents/...` names when multiple chunks from the same page are cited). Always cite the unique authoritative source document names from `references` (`documents/...`) in your final response to the user. Call `get_documents(names=["documents/..."])` with unique document names from `references` to fetch the entire document content if needed. If you get a 429 out of quota error, use search_documents instead.

Discovered
get_documents

Use this tool to retrieve the full Markdown content of a single document or up to 20 documents in a single call by passing a list of document resource names in the `names` parameter (e.g., `get_documents(names=["documents/..."])`; the parameter is `names` taking a list of strings, not `name`). Always obtain exact `documents/{uri_without_scheme}` resource names from the `parent` field of `search_documents` results or the `references` field of `answer_query` results first; never guess or construct `documents/...` paths from memory or external URLs. Cite the authoritative source document resource names (`documents/...`) used in your final response.

Discovered
search_documents

Use this tool to find documentation about Google developer products. The documents contain official APIs, code snippets, release notes, best practices, guides, debugging info, and more. It covers the following products and domains: * ADK: adk.dev * Android: developer.android.com * Apigee: docs.apigee.com * Chrome: developer.chrome.com * Dart: dart.dev * Firebase: firebase.google.com * Flutter: docs.flutter.dev * Fuchsia: fuchsia.dev * Gemini CLI: geminicli.com * Genkit: genkit.dev * Go: go.dev * Google AI: ai.google.dev * Google Antigravity: antigravity.google * Google Cloud: cloud.google.com & docs.cloud.google.com * Google Developers, Ads, Search, Google Maps, Youtube: developers.google.com * Google Home: developers.home.google.com * Google Maps Platform: mapsplatform.google.com * Google Workspace: knowledge.workspace.google.com * TensorFlow: www.tensorflow.org * Web: web.dev Always use this tool (or `answer_query`) to ground answers about Google developer products rather than relying on unverified model memory or generic web search. Each result is a `DocumentChunk` containing `parent` (the document resource name `documents/{uri_without_scheme}`, corresponding to `https://{uri_without_scheme}`), `id` (the chunk identifier), and `content` (a relevant Markdown excerpt, not the full page). Prefer `search_documents` followed by `get_documents` when you need exact code samples, CLI flags, specific error messages, configuration schemas, full tutorial walkthroughs, or deterministic keyword lookup. Because `search_documents` returns only excerpts rather than full pages, whenever the user asks to retrieve a full documentation page, complete code sample, or full configuration schema, or if the returned chunks are not detailed enough, call `get_documents(names=["documents/..."])` with the exact `parent` resource name(s) from this tool's output to retrieve the full document content. If 1-2 searches return no relevant results for a specific named feature, API, or setting, stop searching (do not fall back to `answer_query`, which uses the same corpus) and inform the user that it is not documented in the official corpus rather than guessing or fabricating details. When answering the user, always cite the authoritative source document resource names (`documents/...`) or corresponding `https://` URIs.
