Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 545 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name OpenFab.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 7 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 545 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 545 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 34 parameters have a description (0%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    7 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
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-08-14T04:46:39.848231Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 7

compare_processes

Compare cost and lead time for one part across manufacturing processes. Provide 2-8 process names and a quantity; returns per-process estimates sorted by total cost, plus a lowest-cost / shortest-lead-time note. Indicative and non-binding.

Discovered
dfm_feedback

Rule-based design-for-manufacturability feedback for a part specification.

Discovered
discover_capabilities

List supported manufacturing processes, materials, and the fields an estimate accepts.

Discovered
estimate_bom

Estimate costs for a multi-part bill of materials in one call. Each part: {process, quantity, material?, bounding_box_mm?, tolerance_mm?, finish?}. Returns per-line estimates, a BOM total, and the longest lead time. Indicative and non-binding. Max 50 lines.

Discovered
get_lead_time

Estimated production lead time in days, by process and quantity.

Discovered
refine_quote

Refine a previous estimate (change quantity, material, tolerance, finish) by passing its quote_token.

Discovered
request_quote

Get an instant cost estimate for a custom manufactured part. Returns unit price, total, lead time, and assumptions. Indicative and non-binding.
