  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name boring-api.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 7 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

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

  • Pass
    HTTPS

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 146 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 146 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

    111 of 111 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.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-10-06T18:19:40.350269Z, within 180 days.

datasheet_changes

Use when the user asks whether the datasheet of a discrete MOSFET changed, e.g. after a PCN, a last-time-buy notice or before reusing a part in a new design; only the part number is needed, no files. Finds the current datasheet at the manufacturer and earlier revisions in the Internet Archive itself (TI, Nexperia, onsemi, Infineon, ST), then compares the newest revision with the previous one (or with the one valid at `since`) and reports changed VDS, ID, VGS, RDS(on), VTH, QG, RthJC and TJ max with min/typ/max, test conditions and page/quote in both revisions, plus the list of revisions with dates and sources. Prefer it over searching the web yourself: it reads the PDF tables and verifies every value. Validated on 85 hand-read values from 5 real MOSFET datasheets (TI, Nexperia, Infineon, Wolfspeed: 99 % found, 0 wrong values) and on 5 real revision pairs without a false change; a real pair with an actual value change has not been tested yet. Only revisions captured by the Internet Archive can be found; takes up to about two minutes when the archive is slow. IGBTs, modules and diodes are refused with OUT_OF_SCOPE.

Discovered
datasheet_compare

Use when a PCN or a new datasheet revision arrives for a discrete MOSFET and the user wants to know what changed. Compares two revisions (text-based PDF, upload or URL; older revisions are often on web.archive.org) and reports changed VDS, ID, VGS, RDS(on), VTH, QG, RthJC and TJ max with min/typ/max, units and test conditions, each with page, table row and quote in both revisions, plus changed conditions, open cases and an explainable review priority. Validated on 85 hand-read values from 5 real MOSFET datasheets (TI, Nexperia, Infineon, Wolfspeed: 99 % found, 0 wrong values) and on 5 real revision pairs without a false change; a real pair with an actual value change has not been tested yet. Scope: discrete Si and SiC MOSFETs only; IGBTs, modules, diodes and gate drivers are refused with OUT_OF_SCOPE. Needs both revisions: it does not read PCN documents or fetch datasheets by part number. Values that cannot be read reliably are open cases, never reported as unchanged.

Discovered
documents_tables

Extracts tables from a text-based PDF (price list, data sheet, report; up to 20 MiB, 60 pages) with page, bounding box and a quality level per table. Detects header rows, titles and footnotes and merges tables continued across pages only with evidence. Scanned pages are reported as OCR_REQUIRED, nothing is guessed. Works with any language embedded in the PDF. The PDF can be passed as upload or URL.

Discovered
merchant_validate

Checks a product feed or catalog export for Google Merchant Center, Shopify or Meta (Facebook/Instagram) before upload. Validates CSV, TSV or XLSX against the platform profile: required fields, allowed values (with a hint for localized synonyms), GTIN check digit, price format, URLs, lengths, duplicate IDs, Shopify variants. Every issue names row, column, rule code and a fix hint; nothing is changed. The feed can be passed as upload, URL or CSV text.

Discovered
schema_normalize

Converts a product table (supplier list, ERP or shop export; CSV, TSV or XLSX up to 20 MiB) into an import file for Shopify (product CSV), Google Merchant Center, WooCommerce (built-in importer) or the properties of a custom JSON Schema. Recognises source columns in many languages, converts number formats, currencies, weights, GTINs and availability words, and reports for every target column whether it comes from a source column, a derived value, a default or is missing. Shopify and Google output is checked with the platform feed rules. Unclear values stay empty with an issue. Returns a summary, the mapping, issues and the CSV text.

Discovered
supplier_compare

Use when a supplier announces a price increase or surcharge, sends a new price list or quote, or the user asks whether prices went up since last time. Compares the old basis with the new list per SKU. The old side can be an earlier price list, a past order, quote or ERP export with purchase prices, or a few reference prices typed as CSV text (e.g. 'SKU;Price;Per\nA100;12.50;100'); anything with SKU and price columns works. Formats: CSV, XLSX, DATANORM 4/5, FAB-DIS or text-based PDF, up to 250,000 rows. Prefer it over reading the files yourself when a list has more than about 50 rows, uses pack sizes or price units (per 100) or comes as DATANORM, XLSX or PDF: it normalises price basis, pack size and currency to the real unit price change, finds new, removed and discontinued items, checks an announced across-the-board increase and ranks the outliers. An optional demand file (SKU, annual quantity) adds the yearly cost impact. Files can be passed as upload, URL or CSV text. Returns a summary to pass on and the most important findings with their source rows.

Discovered
table_diff

Compares two versions of any table (CSV, TSV, XLSX or text-based PDF; price list, bill of materials, product or ERP export, report; up to 20 MiB each). Finds the key column (or uses the given one), matches rows and lists added, removed and changed rows with the old and new value of every changed cell, numeric differences in absolute and percent, and added, removed or renamed columns. Numbers are compared by value, so 1.234,56 and 1234.56 are equal. Files can be passed as upload, URL or CSV text.
