  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 1324 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 1324 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

    Parameters documented

    25 of 44 parameters have a description (57%). 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.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Fail
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner does not match the namespace login.

  • Pass

Capabilities

Tools 14

browse_directory

Show the companies, roles and industries where the user can get a warm introduction or referral through Nepternship, with the people under each. Use this when someone wants to see where they could network into, asks which firms or industries they could get an internship or job referral at, or is still deciding what to apply for ("which banks can I get an introduction at", "what tech companies could I network into"). With no arguments it returns the overview; pass one of company_id, role_id or industry_id from a previous result to open that group. For a named company or role, use search_members.

Discovered
connect_account

Connect the user's Nepternship account to this assistant through Nepternship's sign-in page (Google, Apple or email, plus a verified mobile number for new members). Use this when an existing member wants to see their introductions or asks to sign in, or when a new member has saved their join answers and has no request waiting. Pass join_code from sign_up so the new account is created from the saved answers. Once connected it returns the account status.

Discovered
get_member

Return one member's full profile: who they can introduce the user to (role, company and details), what they are looking for themselves, industries, locations, university, and whether the user is already connected with them. Use this when the user wants to know more about a person from a search before asking for an introduction or referral, or asks "who is this" or "what can they help me with". Includes a card image that can be shown to the user.

Discovered
get_my_profile

Return the signed-in user's own Nepternship profile: name, university, what they are looking for, who they can introduce others to, industries, preferred locations, and introduction requests remaining. Use this when the user asks about their own profile or settings.

Discovered
get_upgrade_link

Return the user's Nepternship Premium checkout link (on nepternship.com) with their price and trial length, or their manage-subscription link if they already subscribe. Use this only when the user explicitly asks to upgrade or asks how to get more intro requests after hitting the free limit.

Discovered
list_matches

List the user's introductions: accepted ones with an open chat (including the free weekly curated match), requests waiting on the user, and requests the user sent that have not been answered yet. Use this for any question like "did anyone reply", "any new introductions", "is anything waiting on me" or "who have I connected with". Each item includes the match_id, the other member, status, last message and unread count.

Discovered
read_thread

Return the messages in one introduction's chat. Use this when the user wants to read or catch up on a conversation with a matched member. Reading marks the messages as read for the user.

Discovered
request_balance

Return how many introduction requests the user has left, any friend-referral credits, and their personal invite link. Use this when the user asks how many requests they have left, or after send_intro_request reports the limit.

Discovered
respond_to_request

Accept or decline an introduction request that is waiting on the user (status pending in list_matches). Accepting opens a chat with the other member. Declining is private; the requester is not notified and requests expire on their own after 30 days. Confirm with the user before declining.

Discovered
search_members

Find people who can give the user a warm introduction or referral at a specific company, team, role, industry or city, for internships, new-grad jobs and career switches. Use this when someone asks how to get an internship or job at a company ("how do I get into Goldman Sachs", "can anyone refer me at Google", "I have no connections in investment banking"), wants to network or get a coffee chat with someone at a firm, or asks who could connect them to an analyst, engineer, recruiter or product manager there. Searches the Nepternship network of students and recent graduates across 3,000+ companies, including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Google, Meta, McKinsey and Deloitte. Returns members grouped by company, role and industry, each with first name and last initial, who they can introduce the user to, and an opportunity_id for send_intro_request. If the user has no target in mind yet, use browse_directory.

Discovered
send_intro_request

Send a Nepternship member an introduction request, with an optional note of up to 200 characters, for the person they can introduce the user to (for example an analyst at JPMorgan or an engineer at Google). Use this when the user wants an intro or referral from a member returned by search_members, browse_directory or get_member, or taps Request intro on the member card. Check with the user whether they want to add a note before calling. Needs a Nepternship account: without one, the result explains the next step (a few join questions for new members, then connecting the account). Pass join_code when sign_up returned one. Returns the request status, or a clear reason when the free limit is reached or a request already exists.

Discovered
send_message

Send a message in one of the user's active introductions (an accepted match). Use this only after the user has approved the exact text. Chat is free once an introduction is accepted; if a limit applies, the error explains it.

Discovered
sign_up

Save a new member's answers to the Nepternship join questions: what they are looking for (up to 3 industries, a preferred location and a sentence about the opportunity), whether their university career center referred them, their name, university and graduation year, and who they can introduce other members to (a specific person, their role, company and location). Use this once those answers have been collected in conversation. If the answer about who they can introduce is too vague, nothing is saved and the result says what is missing. Without a connected account it returns a join_code that creates the account when the user connects; with a connected account that has no profile yet, it creates the profile right away. No email address, phone number or password is collected here: the user adds those on Nepternship's own sign-in page when connecting.

Discovered
signup_peek

Given what a prospective member is looking for, return example companies, roles and industries where members can make introductions, with sample offerings and first names. Use this while a new member is joining, right after they say what they are looking for.
