Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 1130 ms.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 9 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

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

  • Pass

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 1130 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 1130 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.

  • Fail
    Parameters documented

    0 of 13 parameters have a description (0%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    1 tools set neither readOnlyHint nor 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

Capabilities

Tools 9

get_carat

Return per-gram gold (XAU) prices by karat purity — 24k, 22k, 21k, 20k, 18k, 16k, 14k, 10k — in a requested currency (default USD; the same 31 currencies get_spot_price serves plus EGP, NPR, PKR and VND). Jewelry-grade pricing computed from XAU spot and exchangerate.dev FX. FREE on every tier — no plan gate. Values are Decimal-formatted strings, quantized to the currency's ISO 4217 minor unit (JPY → whole numbers, USD → 2dp).

Discovered
get_forward_view

Returns the multi-horizon futures settlement curve for a commodity (XAU, XAG, HG). Every populated horizon up to one year forward. Useful for bot builders and traders seeing the futures-implied path. See https://goldprice.dev/methodology#forward-view-layers for per-layer math.

Discovered
get_historical

Return OHLCV bar history for a symbol at 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, or 1d (default). Plus includes 1h and 4h bars for the last 30 days; Pro includes 1m to 4h bars. History depth is set automatically by your API key's plan — do NOT pass a tier argument (there is none): Free sees the last 30 days; Basic sees the last year; Plus and Pro unlock full history back to 1996 (XAU/USD). Dates must be ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD). Returns bars in date-descending order. volume is null for spot instruments (XAU/USD, XAG/USD, XCU/USD); real for futures (GC, SI, HG) and ETFs (GLD).

Discovered
get_metadata

Return provenance metadata for a symbol: the serving source, unit, methodology URL, staleness rules. Use for attribution and to document data lineage in downstream reports.

Discovered
get_physical_price

Return the latest per-country physical dealer/retail gold prices — real quotes from dealers, mints, and bullion benchmarks, NOT spot-derived arithmetic — with nullable premium_over_spot_bps per quote (null when live reference inputs are unavailable). `country` is an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. ID, MY, AE, JP). Uncovered countries return unknown_country on every plan. Requires Basic or higher; static sample responses for evaluation are in the docs at https://goldprice.dev/docs/physical.

Discovered
get_spot_price

Return the latest spot (or GC futures) price for one symbol. Price is a Decimal-formatted string. Latest USD spot price/bid/ask use nearest half-up rounding: XAU 2 decimal places, XAG 3, HG 4. Free and keyless callers get the price 15 minutes late; bid/ask are null when no quote is available. `is_stale` is true when aggregator detected source divergence or stale FX.

Discovered
list_commodities

Return the full list of symbols served by this API. Use before get_spot_price / get_historical / get_metadata when you don't know which symbols are supported.

Discovered
search_docs

Search the goldprice.dev FAQ corpus via BM25. Returns top-K matching questions + answers with relevance scores. Use before answering how-to / billing / auth questions so you cite the canonical text instead of guessing from training data.

Discovered
start_checkout

Open a direct billing URL for an explicitly selected eligible plan: a one-hour Stripe Checkout URL for Free accounts or the existing customer's Stripe billing portal. This always asks the human to confirm the same plan first; a cancellation creates nothing.
