Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 473 ms.

    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-06-18, serverInfo.name crime-data.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 5 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-06-18. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 473 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 473 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.

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

    Parameters documented

    21 of 24 parameters have a description (88%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    5 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.

  • 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 5

crime_compare

Compare incident stats (by category, violent vs property, hour, weekday, 90-day trend) for 2-5 points with the same radius.

Discovered
crime_coverage

Covered cities, data source, licence and freshness.

Discovered
crime_incidents

Recent police-reported incidents near a point in covered US cities, newest first.

Discovered
crime_score

Safety score 0-100 (higher = fewer incidents) and A-F grade for a point: incident density percentile against sampled occupied-area cells of the city (same radius) over its last 12 months. Not a prediction of personal risk; not comparable across cities. Outside covered cities it returns coverage "city_fallback": the city's FBI city-wide violent/property rates per 100k and national percentiles, no grade. May include a "tract" block: 2020 Census tract population and incidents per 1,000 estimated residents in the radius per year (tract residents only, so commercial and nightlife areas overstate risk).

Discovered
crime_stats

Incident counts by category and by month near a point.
