  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 20 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 56 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 56 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

    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

Capabilities

Tools 20

northflank_create_combined_service

MUTATING: create a combined service that builds a connected GitHub repository and deploys it. May incur Northflank build/compute charges and expose the selected HTTP port publicly. Confirm the repository, branch, plan, port and inherited-secret access with the user, then pass confirm=true. Supply absolute Dockerfile/context paths. environmentSecretReferences maps runtime variable names to existing inherited variable NAMES (for example DATABASE_URL: DB_CONNECTION becomes ${DB_CONNECTION}); never supply secret values. Secret groups must already apply to this service through project scope, existing tags or stageId. This tool does not change secret-group restrictions. A successful creation is not proof of a successful build or healthy deployment: inspect the service and build history. Never blindly retry an uncertain creation; list services first. POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/services/combined.

Discovered
