# ParseAddr — Address Parsing & Normalization

> Hosted libpostal: messy free-text postal addresses → structured fields. No 2-4GB self-host.

- name: com.parseaddr/address-parse
- version: 0.1.0
- connection class: R1 (autonomous)
- trust: 94/100
- quality: 73/100 (needs work)
- owner: not claimed
- descriptor: https://api.protogrid.dev/v1/servers/com.parseaddr%2Faddress-parse
- tools: https://api.protogrid.dev/v1/servers/com.parseaddr%2Faddress-parse/tools

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

## Connection (mcpServers)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "address-parse": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.parseaddr.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${ADDRESS_PARSE_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Placeholders to fill: `${ADDRESS_PARSE_TOKEN}`.

## Trust

- hygiene: 100
- liveness: 94
- freshness: 100
- provenance: 85
- drivers: +repository +dns-namespace +website +reachable +uptime-85% +updated-8d-ago
- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 73/100 (needs work)

### 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: 71 (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
- fail `tools.annotations`: no tool declares readOnlyHint or destructiveHint, so clients cannot tell safe calls from risky ones
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: parse_address (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); expand_address (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 194 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 4 of the 7 days needed

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

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 2, about 194 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 36af93e6435439d3bb6ce79e2d91f74e
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/com.parseaddr/address-parse.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/com.parseaddr/address-parse)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Packages

## Tools (2)

- `expand_address`: Expand/normalize an address into canonical variants for deduplication
        and record matching (e.g. "100 main st" vs "100 Main Street").
        
- `parse_address`: Parse a messy free-text postal address into structured fields
        (house_number, road, unit, city, postcode, country, ...). Powered by libpostal.

        Use when a developer needs to standardise or parse postal addresses and does
        not want to self-host libpostal (a 2-4GB-RAM box + a fiddly C build).
