**An agent can connect on its own if it already holds `CUTOUTLABS_TOKEN`.** Remote endpoint behind a static API key or header. The registry never sees the value; the agent fills the placeholder.

## Quality 81/100 (new)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2025-11-25; 2026-07-28 not supported, older versions are deprecated until 2027-07-28
- n/a `protocol.stateless`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- n/a `protocol.list_ttl`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 86 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- pass `tools.description_length`: descriptions are concise
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- pass `tools.annotations`: 2 of 2 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: get_quota (destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); remove_background (destructiveHint, idempotentHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 406 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `stability.changes`, `stability.rug_pull`: tool history recorded for 2 of the 7 days needed

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: deps.dev does not know @cutoutlabs/mcp@0.2.1

- tools: 2, about 406 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: b63d19d98ebf1790fced2d3a32e5c9a2
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/com.cutoutlabs/mcp.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/com.cutoutlabs/mcp)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

_No tool definition changes recorded._

## Dependencies

- npm @cutoutlabs/mcp@0.2.1: unknown

Dependency graphs from deps.dev; advisories from OSV.dev, including the GitHub Advisory Database and the PyPI Advisory Database; all CC BY 4.0.

## Remotes

- https://api.cutoutlabs.com/mcp (streamable-http, auth api_key ${CUTOUTLABS_TOKEN}, reachable true, uptime30d 0.9166667)

## Packages

- npm @cutoutlabs/mcp@0.2.1 secrets: CUTOUTLABS_API_KEY

## Tools (2)

- `get_quota`: Return how many free remove_background calls remain today for the API key.
- `remove_background`: Remove the background from an image and return the cutout. Provide exactly one of image_url or image_base64. Returns a transparent PNG by default, or the subject on a solid colour when bg_color is set. When several objects or a person and a product appear together, the model may keep or drop some of them (for example a hand holding a product); use roi to restrict the subject area. Parts of a subject hidden behind something else cannot be recovered.
