Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 66 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name a9n9-private-action-agent.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 5 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 66 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 66 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

    11 of 18 parameters have a description (61%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Fail
    Website matches publisher

    The website host does not match the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No 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 2026-08-17T21:04:42.204098Z, within 180 days.

  • Not measured
    Open-source licence

    No GitHub repository to ask about a licence.

Capabilities

Tools 5

a9n9_quick_search

Free first-level search, limited per day across all callers: current news coverage (100+ languages, 250K+ sources) or scholarly papers (arXiv). Returns structured results immediately with no payment. When the daily quota is exhausted, or when you need live browsing and synthesis across sources, use a9n9_research_quote for paid deep research.

Discovered
a9n9_research_quote

Analyze a deep-research objective and return the exact current price, limits, planned start URLs, request hash, expiry, payment requirements, and cloud-browser capabilities without charging or starting a job. targetUrl is optional: omit it and the quote derives and binds a bounded plan of public start URLs from the objective.

Discovered
a9n9_research_start

Start bounded paid research in a real remotely hosted Browserbase Chromium session with JavaScript rendering, DOM interaction, scrolling, and dynamic-content extraction, followed by gpt-5.6-luna synthesis. targetUrl is optional; without it the quoted plan of public start URLs derived from the objective is executed. Call a9n9_research_quote first when price visibility is needed. The service does not bypass CAPTCHAs, logins, paywalls, access controls, or site terms.

Discovered
a9n9_research_status

Return milestone progress and the final result for an opaque tracker code.

Discovered
a9n9_research_submit_payment

Verify a separately broadcast Tempo mainnet push-mode payment and continue the quoted research job. Use the paymentChallenge and walletPayment returned by a9n9_research_quote, then provide the transaction hash, payer address, and same job_key.
