Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 578 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name mcp-ai.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 35 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 578 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 578 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 140 parameters have a description (0%). 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 35

authenticate

MCP.AI for IDE agents (Cursor, etc.): log in in the browser, copy the access token. Best: add it to this server's config as a header `Authorization: Bearer <token>` for a permanent, non-expiring connection. Or paste it here for a session-only login: call with { token: "<jwt>" } after the user pastes, or with no args to get the link.

Discovered
connect

Returns connection status and URLs. When all providers are connected, returns authenticated:true and empty pending[]. When credentials are missing, returns connect_url for the toolkit and per-install URLs.

Discovered
marketplace

The official mcp.ai marketplace — the in-platform catalog of every MCP/tool, AND the way to run them. Covers capability requests like "find an MCP that does X", "consulta um CPF", "is there a tool for Y". Core flow: action=search discovers MCPs by intent → describe returns one MCP's full profile (every tool with its id + params, pricing, auth) so you pick the right tool_id → invoke RUNS that tool. KEY: invoke works even when the MCP is NOT installed — it runs the tool pontualmente (one-off), without adding the MCP to the toolkit and without bloating the tool list. If the MCP needs a credential/login, invoke returns a connect link; if it is paid and the wallet is empty, invoke returns a checkout/top-up link (the user opens it, then you retry). Use install only to make an MCP PERMANENT in the active toolkit (its tools then show up natively in future sessions); prefer invoke for a single/occasional use. list_tools lists what is callable right now. subscribe/cancel handle per-MCP billing; report_bug sends feedback; request_mcp asks us to build a NEW MCP when nothing fits. Search/describe flag installed_in_toolkit vs installed_in_workspace. Writes (install/uninstall/subscribe/cancel and the one-off install behind invoke) require workspace owner/admin. It also carries the mcp.ai PROMPT LIBRARY, which is about ready-made prompt TEXT rather than MCPs: search_prompts finds one, get_prompt returns its full text with {{variables}} filled, and publish_prompt saves a prompt and returns a shareable mcp.ai/p/<slug> link that opens without login.

Discovered
report_bug

Report a bug, missing feature, or send feedback. Include the conversation array with recent messages for reproduction.

Discovered
show_version

Show the current MCP platform and adapter versions.

Discovered
toolkit_info

Returns the current toolkit state: installed MCPs, their connection status, the accounts connected to each one, and how many catalog tools each exposes.

Discovered
youtube_api

Escape hatch: call any path on the YouTube backend. Pass path (e.g. /search), optional method (default GET), query map, and JSON body for POST. Prefer the named youtube_* tools when available; this is for routes not in the manifest.

Discovered
youtube_channel_about

Channel description, links, country, subscriber count, banner. Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.

Discovered
youtube_channel_community

Community posts tab for a channel. Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.

Discovered
youtube_channel_featured

Featured channels listed on a channel. Note: YouTube deprecated the featured-channels tab; this route exists upstream but typically returns an empty/error envelope. Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.

Discovered
youtube_channel_home

Channel home page payload (featured shelves + meta). Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.

Discovered
youtube_channel_playlists

Channel playlists tab. Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.

Discovered

Discovered
youtube_channel_videos

Channel videos tab. Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.

Discovered
youtube_channel_videos_post

Discovered
youtube_comment_delete

Apaga DEFINITIVAMENTE um comentário (não tem desfazer). Só funciona em comentário do próprio canal ou em vídeo do canal conectado. Para esconder sem apagar, prefira youtube_comment_moderate com `rejected`. Custa 50 unidades da cota. Bulk support: accepts comment_ids for batched execution.

Discovered
youtube_comment_moderate

Modera comentários no canal conectado: publica (`published`), segura para revisão (`heldForReview`) ou rejeita (`rejected`). `ban_author` só é aceito junto de `rejected`. Vale apenas para comentários em vídeos do próprio canal. Custa 50 unidades por comentário.

Discovered
youtube_comment_post

Publica um comentário NOVO de topo em um vídeo, como o canal conectado. Para responder alguém, use youtube_comment_reply. Custa 50 unidades da cota. Bulk support: accepts video_ids for batched execution.

Discovered
youtube_comment_reply

Responde comentários como o canal conectado. Aceita VÁRIAS respostas numa chamada (`replies`), e um item que falha não derruba os outros. `parent_id` tem que ser o id de um comentário de TOPO (campo `id` do thread devolvido por youtube_comment_threads), nunca o id de uma resposta. Cada resposta consome 50 unidades da cota da API do YouTube, então responda o que importa em vez de varrer o canal.

Discovered
youtube_comment_threads

Comentários de TOPO pela API oficial, com as respostas já existentes. É daqui que sai o `parent_id` usado em youtube_comment_reply (o id do thread), então prefira esta tool a youtube_comments quando a intenção for responder. Sem `video_id`, traz os comentários do canal conectado inteiro (bom para 'o que ainda não respondi'). Custa 1 unidade da cota. Bulk support: accepts video_ids, channel_ids for batched execution.

Discovered
youtube_comment_update

Edita o texto de um comentário ou resposta PUBLICADO pelo canal conectado (corrigir um erro sem apagar e repostar, o que perderia as curtidas e o encadeamento). Só funciona em comentário de autoria do próprio canal. Custa 50 unidades da cota. Bulk support: accepts comment_ids for batched execution.
