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 646 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

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

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 5 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 646 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 646 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

    12 of 12 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 2026-10-29T10:12:04.018136Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 5

generate_screenshot_set

Design a finished App Store / Google Play screenshot set from uploaded screenshots. Step 2 of 3. Returns immediately with a review link while the set is designed in the background (about 1–2 minutes) — then call get_screenshot_set to wait for it. The result is three art directions sharing one set of headlines, each fully editable in the LaunchShots editor. Write app_description from the real source: the README, store listing, or the app's own copy — what it does, who it's for, and what makes it different. Specific beats generic; the headlines are only as sharp as this. Either pass set_id from prepare_screenshot_upload (preferred), or pass the screenshots inline as base64 if you cannot run shell commands (keep each under ~1 MB). Calling again with the same set_id after a failure retries it; nothing is charged for a failed run.

Discovered
get_account

Show which LaunchShots account this connection uses and how many generations it has left. Without an API key, explains the free tier and how to connect an account.

Discovered
get_screenshot_set

Check on a screenshot set, waiting up to wait_seconds for it to finish. Step 3 of 3. When it is ready this returns the review link, the headline written for every screen and the three directions. Share the link with the user: they choose a direction and the set opens in the LaunchShots editor (free signup if they are not signed in). If it is still generating, call again — a set usually takes 1–2 minutes.

Discovered
list_projects

List the most recently edited projects in this API key's LaunchShots account, with a link to open each in the editor. Requires an API key.

Discovered
prepare_screenshot_upload

Start a screenshot set and get one upload URL per screenshot. Step 1 of 3. Pick the app's key screens — one per core feature, in roughly the order a new user would care about them — captured with realistic content. Avoid empty states, onboarding walls, permission dialogs, debug banners and lorem ipsum: the headlines are written from what is on screen. Upload each file with an HTTP PUT of the raw bytes to its URL (the response includes ready-to-run curl commands). URLs are valid for 2 hours; PUT to the same slot again to replace a file. Then call generate_screenshot_set with the returned set_id.
