Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 73 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2024-11-05, serverInfo.name vetclinic.info MCP server.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 8 tools.

  • Fail
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2024-11-05. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 73 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 73 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.

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • 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.

Capabilities

Tools 8

estimate_procedure_cost

Anonymous cost estimate. Returns $low–$high range computed from regional + case factors. Only procedure_slug is required: anything omitted gets a stated default listed in "assumptions" (no zip → the state, else the national range). Deterministic on identical inputs. PII fields are rejected — use quote_for_case for the PII path.

Discovered
find_specialists_by_procedure

Convenience: combines get_procedure + state filter. Returns the ranked specialist finder list for a procedure in a given state.

Discovered
get_clinic

Fetch a single clinic's full record by slug: credentials, inline reviews, procedures performed, contact action, canonical URL.

Discovered
get_procedure

Fetch a procedure article with cost band, contraindications, emergency signals, FAQ, citations. When state is supplied, also returns a ranked clinic finder pre-filtered to that state.

Discovered
list_procedures

Published procedure catalog. Returns slug, display_name, also_known_as, specialty_slug for every procedure with a live article.

Discovered
list_specialties

Closed-set enum of recognized veterinary specialty slugs. Returns slug, display_name, and credentialing_board.sameAs (when applicable). Always call this before search_clinics if uncertain about specialty mapping.

Discovered
quote_for_case

Composite tool. Always computes an estimate. When owner_email is also present, the case is accepted on arrival: routed at once to a board-certified specialist near the owner (or held while we match one), and the owner gets a receipt email. Requires X-Agent-Attribution when PII is supplied. When PII is absent, behaves identically to estimate_procedure_cost and returns status="estimate_only".

Discovered
search_clinics

Find veterinary specialty clinics by city + specialty. Returns a ranked shortlist with credentials, address, rating, review count, and a contact action. Promoted listings rank first. `state` is genuinely optional: omit it and the city is resolved across states; if that city slug exists in more than one state the result has `needs_state: true`, no clinics, and a `candidates` array (state, state_name, clinic_count, and the exact `next_call` arguments) to re-call with.
