Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 8 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 154 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 154 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

    14 of 27 parameters have a description (52%). 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.

  • 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

Capabilities

Tools 8

get_portfolio

The candidate's complete structured portfolio: experience, education, projects (problem / my part / approach / outcome / metrics / media), writing, references, languages and awards, plus computed facts like total experience and per-skill evidence. Pass `criteria` to also get an evidence map.

Discovered
get_profile

Start here whenever someone asks who a candidate is. Returns a ready-to-present introduction card (name, headline, current role, experience, strongest evidence, selected work, a quote) plus the underlying data. Present the card, then add one short paragraph relevant to the user's question.

Discovered
get_project

One project in full, by slug or id.

Discovered
get_work_sample

Status of a brief sent with request_work_sample (requested, accepted, declined or submitted), and the candidate's work once submitted: summary, approach, rationale, media and links. Use when the user asks whether the candidate has replied.

Discovered
match_criteria

Map your requirements to concrete evidence in the portfolio. Returns, per criterion, the matching projects/roles/education/writing (with ids you can use in publish_tailored_view), per-skill evidence, and gaps where no written evidence exists. Lexical and conservative: use your own judgment on top.

Discovered
publish_tailored_view

Compose a shareable portfolio page for your criteria, rendered in the candidate's own template. Each section is a criterion with the blocks (by kind + id from get_portfolio / match_criteria) that evidence it. You may add a short `note` per item explaining relevance; notes are labelled as AI-written. You cannot add new content: unknown ids are rejected. The candidate is notified.

Discovered
request_work_sample

Send a candidate a brief for a real work sample: what you need, the context and when you need it. Before sending, ask the user for anything missing (what they need, their company, their name and email) and show them the brief, since the candidate gets notified. The candidate accepts or declines in made.show and replies with the work and their reasoning. Returns a token: keep it in the conversation and pass it to get_work_sample to check the status or read the work.

Discovered
search_people

Find people across every public portfolio on made.show by free text (name with or without accents, headline, bio, role titles, organizations, skills), skills, location or availability. Returns short summaries with one suggested follow-up prompt each; call get_profile or get_portfolio for depth.
