  • 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

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 89 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 100 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    2 of 2 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Pass
    Stable tool list

    No tool was removed and no required parameter was added in the last 30 days.

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

    13 of 16 parameters have a description (81%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Pass
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner matches the namespace login.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

  • Not measured
    Open-source licence

    The GitHub licence lookup has not returned an OSI result yet.

Tools

  • alternatives_to

    Open-source projects that replace a paid or closed product (e.g. Cursor, ChatGPT, Notion), highest score first. own_claim is true when the project says so in its own README. Use it when the user names a product and asks what can replace it or how to self-host it instead; to weigh the picks against each other, pass them to compare.

    Measured

  • check_repo

    Check a GitHub repo before installing it, most useful for an MCP server, skill or plugin: whether Archestack lists it, its license in plain words, upkeep, the safety checks it passed (with the failed ones and their evidence) and up to 3 higher-ranked projects in its category. "Checks passed" means those checks passed, not that the code is safe. A repo Archestack does not list returns listed: false and a link to suggest it. Use it when the user pastes a GitHub link they plan to install or run; for a project they name without a link use get_project.

    Measured

  • compare

    Put 2 to 4 projects side by side: score and its parts, place, stars, license, last commit, Docker, arm64, GPU, RAM, external services, strengths and weaknesses. Use it when the user is choosing between named projects ("X or Y"); with only one name, find candidates first with top_in_category or alternatives_to.

    Measured

  • deploy_facts

    The facts an agent needs before installing or deploying one project: Docker files, arm64 build, GPU need, minimum RAM, outside services it needs, web port, what its README says it needs, docs and demo links, and upkeep (latest release, releases in 12 months, security advisories, its package). null means Archestack does not know. Archestack does not track hosting cost or deploy templates. Use it right before installing or self-hosting a project; for its score and review use get_project.

    Measured

  • get_project

    Everything Archestack has on one project: score and the parts it is made of, place in its category, GitHub facts (stars, license, last commit and release, language, Docker, arm64, GPU, RAM, external services, port), project health, demo and docs links, and the review (summary, audience, strengths, weaknesses). Use it when the user names one project and wants the full picture; for only what it takes to install it use deploy_facts, for two or more projects use compare.

    Measured

  • search_projects

    Find open-source AI projects across both Archestack lists by words and filters. Words match names, repos, taglines, categories and the products a project replaces; results rank by how many words match, then exact names, then projects whose name or category holds the words, then by score. Put hard needs in the filters, not the words (no_gpu instead of "without a GPU"). Use it when the user describes a need rather than naming a project; for a ranking of one category use top_in_category, for replacements of a named paid product use alternatives_to.

    Measured

  • top_in_category

    The ranking of one category, best first, with score and tagline. An unknown category returns the list of categories, so calling it with a guess is a cheap way to learn the category ids. Use it for "what is the best X"; to filter by GPU, arm64 or license, or to search across categories, use search_projects.
