Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 947 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name additive-atlas.

  • 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 947 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 947 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

    11 of 11 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.

  • 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 2026-09-30T09:54:06.877305Z, within 180 days.

  • Not measured
    Open-source licence

    No GitHub repository to ask about a licence.

Capabilities

Tools 5

analyze_label

Find the additives named on a label (same as HTTP POST /v1/labels/analyze). Splits the additive section into tokens and returns, per token, the substances it resolves to (SubstanceSummary: facts on their own axis), plus known interactions between the detected substances. Cutting the additive section out of the label is the caller's job; sending the whole ingredient section is allowed. Matching is exact against the alias vocabulary in scope: a token with matches: [] is unresolved, which (open world) does not distinguish "not an additive" from "an additive not known here". `axis` and `lang` must be one of the accepted pairs: JP+ja, US+en, EU+nl, EU+fr, EU+de, EU+es, EU+pl, EU+el, EU+bg. Not a safety judgement: every record is a draft and needs verification.

Discovered
analyze_label_diff

(Paid; not available through MCP.) Same input as analyze_label, but each detected substance carries the cross-axis derivation. This tool does not return that data: it returns the HTTP endpoint (POST /v1/labels/analyze/diff with the same JSON body, 0.01 USDC per request via x402 on Base) to call instead.

Discovered
get_substance

One substance with everything its own roster says (same as HTTP GET /v1/substances/{id}): identifiers, category, aliases, translations, the source-ledger row, groups, and — depending on the axis — Japanese use standards, EU/Codex conditions of use, mandatory labelling statements, the roster's definition text or the CFR citation. Facts from the substance's own axis only; nothing here crosses an axis (that is get_substance_diff, paid, HTTP only). Axis-specific keys are present only where the roster has that concept, and an empty list means something (use_standards: [] = no use standard; use_conditions: [] = no permitted food category). Not a safety judgement: every record is a draft and needs verification.

Discovered
get_substance_diff

(Paid; not available through MCP.) For every axis other than the substance's own, what that axis says (with a per-cell source) kept separate from what was derived from it; when nothing can be concluded, a refusal says why and what would settle it. This tool does not return that data: it returns the HTTP endpoint (GET /v1/substances/{id}/diff, 0.01 USDC per request via x402 on Base) to call instead.

Discovered
search_substances

Look up substances by name on one regulatory axis (same as HTTP GET /v1/substances?name=…). The name is normalised (NFKC, whitespace removed, lower-cased) and matched **exactly** against the names and aliases the axis itself uses in that language (E numbers and official names for EU, 品目名 and label terms for JP, CFR names for US) — no partial or fuzzy matching. The official name is an alias of itself. Returns the matching substances (SubstanceSummary: facts from their own roster only) and, per row, what text matched. `axis` and `lang` must be one of the accepted pairs: JP+ja, US+en, EU+nl, EU+fr, EU+de, EU+es, EU+pl, EU+el, EU+bg. Not a safety judgement: every record is a draft and needs verification.
