  • 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 1026 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 1026 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

    49 of 49 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.

  • 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

Capabilities

Tools 6

ioda_find_outages

Find IODA outage events overlapping an explicit Unix-second window of at most 31 days. Omit entity filters for global scope, which searches one day outside the window by default instead of 14; global searches over multi-day windows can time out, so narrow the window or add entityType. A code requires its entityType. relatedToType and relatedToCode limit results to entityType entities within one country, region, ASN, or geoasn. Source scores are not an absolute severity scale. Starts at until are included; adjacent windows can duplicate boundary detections. Starts may precede from; ends can be clipped at until and do not establish recovery. ignoreMethods excludes source.method, source.*, or *.method upstream before scoring. includeAlerts adds nested transitions and can increase size. Pages are zero-based; keep filters and limit fixed.

Discovered
ioda_get_alerts

Retrieve IODA detection and recovery transitions in an explicit Unix-second window of at most 31 days. Omit entity filters for global scope; a code requires entityType. relatedToType and relatedToCode limit results to entityType entities within one country, region, ASN, or geoasn, served at page 0 only. Each transition retains its source, level, condition, value and baseline; levels and baselines are not a source-independent severity scale. A recovery's historyValue can be a baseline IODA re-based during a long event; compare its value with the detection's historyValue and condition. Transitions include both requested bounds, widened by extendWindowSeconds; adjacent windows can duplicate boundary detections. ignoreMethods excludes source.method, source.*, or *.method upstream. Missing transitions do not establish health. Pages are zero-based; keep filters and limit fixed.

Discovered
ioda_get_signals

Fetch numeric BGP visibility, active IPv4 /24 probing, Merit telescope, or Google Transparency Report traffic series for one entity in an explicit Unix-second window of at most 31 days. source is required: bgp, ping-slash24, merit-nt, or gtr (countries only). Nulls are not zero connectivity: trailing nulls in buckets not yet ended or ended within the publication allowance before the call (1800 seconds for bgp and ping-slash24, 10800 for merit-nt and gtr) are usually unpublished, and every other null is a missing observation; the notice counts each trailing class. maxPoints requests upstream aggregation, not first-N samples; smaller values lose temporal resolution. Returned series retain aligned boundary buckets with exclusive returned until bounds that may extend beyond requested bounds; timestamps and intervals support cross-source comparisons.

Discovered
ioda_get_status

Inspect recent IODA detection evidence and measurement coverage for one entity over a lookback of 1–24 hours. Collect events, alerts, bgp, ping-slash24 and merit-nt evidence. Partial failures remain explicit and route to standalone tools. recent, stale, no_data and unknown describe observation availability; buckets within the 1800-second publication allowance count as pending, not missing. No alerts is not an all-clear. IODA measures macroscopic connectivity, not one office or a shutdown cause.

Discovered
ioda_search_entities

Resolve country, region, autonomous-system, or geoasn (one ASN within a region or country) names and codes for outage investigations. Choose entityType and either query or entityCode; omit both to list the type. Countries use two letters, regions numeric IODA codes, ASNs decimal digits (AS prefix accepted), geoasns an ASN and a region or country code (40934-576, 59962-IR). Add relatedToType and relatedToCode to list entityType entities within one country, region, ASN, or geoasn, such as the regions or networks of a country; a scope combines with query. Region results can include IODA geolocation catch-alls named [Invalid Region (N)] or Unknown Region in <country>, which are not provinces or states; a notice names them. Metadata does not establish measurement coverage. Pages are zero-based; keep limit fixed when continuing.

Discovered
ioda_summarize_outages

Rank the entities of one entityType by IODA's outage summary score over an explicit Unix-second window of at most 31 days, such as the countries or a country's regions hit hardest this week. Rows keep IODA's order, descending scores.overall. Region rankings can include IODA geolocation catch-alls named [Invalid Region (N)] or Unknown Region in <country>, which are not provinces or states; a notice names them. IODA merges overlapping events from different sources, scores each merged event as the product of its sources' scores, and sums the merged events into overall; each <source>.<method> key sums that source's event scores. Scores are window totals for ranking the rows of one request, not current status, and are not comparable across requests with different windows. Add entityCode for one entity, or relatedToType and relatedToCode to rank entityType entities within one country, region, ASN, or geoasn; large type-only rankings can time out. Event-start selection includes until, so adjacent windows can duplicate boundary detections. ignoreMethods excludes source.method, source.*, or *.method upstream before scoring; keep exclusions fixed when comparing rankings or drilling into events and alerts. An empty result is not an all-clear. Pages are zero-based; keep filters and limit fixed.
