Unmeasured means there is not enough evidence to decide. How these checks work

Inspect individual checks 22 recorded

Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 153 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

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

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 22 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 153 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 153 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.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    51 of 51 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-11-10T23:33:41.205062Z, within 180 days.

  • Not measured
    Open-source licence

    The GitHub licence lookup has not returned an OSI result yet.

Capabilities

Tools 22

civo_create_dns_record

Add one record to a Civo-hosted domain. Live DNS changes propagate to the world; undo by deleting the record in the Civo dashboard or CLI. Civo: POST /v2/dns/{domain_id}/records.

Discovered
civo_create_firewall_rule

Add one rule to a firewall — e.g. allow TCP 443 ingress from 0.0.0.0/0. This changes what is reachable on every instance, cluster and load balancer using the firewall, so prefer narrow CIDRs. Undo by deleting the rule in the Civo dashboard or CLI. Civo: POST /v2/firewalls/{id}/rules.

Discovered
civo_get_instance

Fetch one instance: status, size, CPU/RAM/disk, public and private IPs, network, firewall, tags, attached volumes and source image. Passwords are redacted. Civo: GET /v2/instances/{id}.

Discovered
civo_get_kubernetes_cluster

Fetch one Kubernetes cluster: status, readiness, conditions, version and available upgrade, pools and their instances, network, firewall, CNI and installed marketplace apps. The kubeconfig is redacted. Civo: GET /v2/kubernetes/clusters/{id}.

Discovered
civo_get_quota

The account's limits and current usage: instances, CPU cores, RAM, disk, volumes, snapshots, public IPs, networks, firewalls and rules, load balancers, object storage and databases. Answers 'can I launch another one?'. Civo: GET /v2/quota.

Discovered
civo_list_charges

List billable usage for a period: each resource's product code, label, region, time span and hours (size_gb for volumes). The range may be at most 31 days; defaults to the start of the current month until now. Civo: GET /v2/charges.

Discovered
civo_list_databases

List the managed databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) in a region: software and version, size, nodes, IPs, port, network, firewall and status. Paginated: {page, per_page, pages, items}. Passwords are redacted. Civo: GET /v2/databases.

Discovered
civo_list_dns_domains

List the domains whose DNS Civo hosts for the account. Civo: GET /v2/dns.

Discovered
civo_list_dns_records

List the records of one hosted domain (name, type, value, priority, TTL), optionally filtered by type or name. Civo: GET /v2/dns/{domain_id}/records.

Discovered
civo_list_firewall_rules

List the rules of one firewall: protocol, port range, CIDRs, direction (ingress/egress), action (allow/deny) and label — the answer to 'what is exposed to the internet?'. Civo: GET /v2/firewalls/{id}/rules.

Discovered
civo_list_firewalls

List the firewalls in a region with their network, rule count and how many instances, clusters and load balancers use each. Civo: GET /v2/firewalls.

Discovered
civo_list_instance_sizes

List the sizes (plans) that can be launched — instances, Kubernetes nodes and databases — with CPU cores, RAM, disk, transfer allowance and GPU. Civo: GET /v2/sizes.

Discovered
civo_list_instances

List compute instances in a region, optionally filtered by tags. Paginated: returns {page, per_page, pages, items}. Passwords are redacted. Civo: GET /v2/instances.

Discovered
civo_list_kubernetes_clusters

List the Kubernetes (K3s/Talos) clusters in a region with status, version, node pools, API endpoint and installed applications. Paginated: {page, per_page, pages, items}. Kubeconfigs are redacted. Civo: GET /v2/kubernetes/clusters.

Discovered
civo_list_load_balancers

List the load balancers in a region: algorithm, backends (IP, protocol, source/target ports), public IP, state and the Kubernetes service each fronts. Civo: GET /v2/loadbalancers.

Discovered
civo_list_networks

List the private networks in a region: label, CIDR, whether it is the default network, status and nameservers. Civo: GET /v2/networks.

Discovered
civo_list_regions

List the Civo regions available to the account, with which one is the default, whether each is out of capacity, and the features each supports (IaaS, Kubernetes, object store, load balancers, GPU, databases). A cheap way to confirm the API key works. Civo: GET /v2/regions.

Discovered
civo_list_volumes

List the block-storage volumes in a region: size, status, type, and the instance or cluster each is attached to (unattached volumes still bill). Civo: GET /v2/volumes.

Discovered
civo_reboot_instance

Reboot one instance. `soft` (default) asks the OS to restart cleanly; `hard` cuts power and boots it again, like pulling the plug — use only when soft does not work. Causes brief downtime. Civo: POST /v2/instances/{id}/soft_reboots or /hard_reboots.

Discovered
civo_set_instance_tags

REPLACE the full tag list of one instance (tags are used for filtering and by load-balancer instance pools, so changing them can move an instance in or out of a pool). Pass the complete desired list; an empty list clears all tags. Civo: PUT /v2/instances/{id}/tags.

Discovered
civo_start_instance

Boot a stopped instance. Undoes civo_stop_instance. Civo: PUT /v2/instances/{id}/start.

Discovered
civo_stop_instance

Power off one instance. Anything it serves goes offline until it is started again with civo_start_instance. A stopped instance is still billed. Civo: PUT /v2/instances/{id}/stop.
