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 463 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

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

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 10 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 463 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 463 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

    31 of 50 parameters have a description (62%). 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 2026-10-04T19:27:14.212705Z, within 180 days.

  • Not measured
    Open-source licence

    No GitHub repository to ask about a licence.

Capabilities

Tools 10

assess_hackability

Look up a device by id, exact name or substring and return hackability, brick risk, firmware links, curated firmware playbooks, community size, build page and agent platform support. Input: `device_name` 1-200 chars.

Discovered
check_firmware_compatibility

Fail-closed compatibility check for one firmware playbook. Required model, codename, revision, SoC or firmware identifiers must exactly match a curated target; missing facts return unknown and mismatches return unsupported.

Discovered
find_firmware_playbooks

Find curated owner-authorized firmware, local-protocol and cloud-replacement playbooks. Results rank less-invasive paths first and contain research guidance rather than device compatibility approval.

Discovered
find_reverse_engineering_examples

Search Hackshop's curated hardware reverse-engineering examples and research methods. With no query, returns the newest dated examples first. Evidence labels distinguish reproduced work, documented implementations, author demos and analysis methods; they do not imply compatibility with similar-looking hardware.

Discovered
get_build_plan

Return the complete deterministic build plan for a catalog device id: difficulty, board-specific flash warnings, parts, shopping list with buy_options, prices checked date and purchase policy, steps, machine-readable assembly with verify checks, commands, links, caveats and an agent-ready brief. Input: `device_id` 1-200 chars.

Discovered
get_firmware_playbook

Return a curated firmware playbook with exact targets, prerequisites, backups, recovery, independent risk axes, sources, validation checks and the human-only destructive-action boundary.

Discovered
intake_gadget

Return four hardware-planning intake questions covering placement, interaction, room sensing and budget, with answer options and their planning meanings. No input.

Discovered
plan_gadget

Deterministically plan a physical body for an AI agent using Meta Muse boards. Partial intake answers produce remaining questions and an intake completion status. Inputs: `idea` 3-2000 chars (optional when `answers` or `needs` are given); `answers` {size, interaction, sensing, budget} using the intake option values; `platform` one of muse-esp32, muse-linux, any (default any); `budget_usd` number greater than 0, up to 100000; `owned_device_ids` up to 50 catalog ids; `needs` values: voice, screen, images, touch, camera, air-sensors, e-ink, battery, round, home-tunnel, big-screen, compute, linux; `size` one of pocket, desk, wall, hidden, any (default any); `limit` 1-5 (default 3). Boards that meet the hard needs and the budget rank first, cheapest first. Returns fit, notes, warnings, intake status, questions, picks with difficulty, terms and next steps.

Discovered
prepare_firmware_job

Prepare a non-executing firmware manifest after owner authorization and an exact compatibility match. Returns backup, recovery, sources, validation and stop points; never returns a flash command.

Discovered
verify_firmware_artifact

Compare a caller-supplied filename, source URL and SHA-256 with Hackshop's curated metadata. Hackshop does not fetch, upload or redistribute the artifact; absent hashes return unknown.
