Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 151 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name hs-mcp-observatory.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 6 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 6138 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 11525 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

    3 of 3 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    6 tools set neither readOnlyHint nor 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

mcp_observatory_disclosure_guide

How the 152 servers that stated who compensates their operator actually did it - the field names observed in the wild, with counts. Not a specification we invented.

Discovered
mcp_observatory_lookup

What happened when we contacted one address, or an aggregate for one host. Returns the record hash and the procedure to recompute it. There is no tool here that lists addresses; you must already hold the one you are asking about.

Discovered
mcp_observatory_measure_now

Contact one https address now and report what we see: whether it speaks MCP, whether it carries an agent card, and whether that card names who compensates the operator. Read only; no tool is called. robots.txt is read first and honoured. This does NOT change the published record - the next full walk does that. Rate limited, because it contacts somebody else's server on your behalf.

Discovered
mcp_observatory_method

How the walk was run, what we got wrong and corrected, and the four rules the report holds itself to.

Discovered
mcp_observatory_state

What was measured, when, over what population, and what the measurement cannot tell you. Read this before quoting any number from this server.

Discovered
mcp_observatory_summary

The counts, as published and as corrected. How many addresses answered, how many tools they exposed, how many stated who compensates their operator.
