## Quality 84/100 (good)

### protocol: 88 (weight 25)

- pass `protocol.modern`: supports 2026-07-28 (server/discover)
- pass `protocol.stateless`: answers without a session
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- warn `protocol.list_ttl`: tools/list declares ttlMs 0, so clients re-fetch it on every use

### 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`: 7 of 7 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: pokeapi_get_pokemon (destructiveHint); pokeapi_get_move (destructiveHint); pokeapi_get_ability (destructiveHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,840 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 75 (weight 15)

- warn `stability.changes`: 7 tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

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

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

- tools: 7, about 1,840 tokens to load them all

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-14 `pokeapi_find_pokemon` changed (outputSchema)
- 2026-10-14 `pokeapi_get_type_matchups` changed (description, inputSchema, outputSchema)
  - before: Get the full offensive and defensive type effectiveness breakdown. Provide either a type name (e.g. "fire", "psychic") or a Pokémon identifier (name or PokéAPI Pokémon-record ID). For dual-type Pokémon, the defensive multipliers are correctly composed (e.g. Fire/Flying vs Rock = 4× because both types are weak to Rock). Exactly one of type or pokemon must be provided.
  - after: Get the full offensive and defensive type effectiveness breakdown. Provide either a type name (e.g. "fire", "psychic") or a Pokémon identifier (name or PokéAPI Pokémon-record ID; a species name resolves to its default variety). For dual-type Pokémon, the defensive multipliers are correctly composed (e.g. Fire/Flying vs Rock = 4× because both types are weak to Rock). Exactly one of type or pokemon must be provided.
- 2026-09-30 `pokeapi_find_pokemon` changed (description, inputSchema, outputSchema)
  - before: Filter Pokémon by generation, type, regional pokédex, or egg group. Returns names and Pokédex numbers suitable for follow-up pokeapi_get_pokemon calls. All filters are optional and combined with AND logic; query adds strict token matching on name. When no category filter is provided alongside query, returns an empty result — at least one categorical filter is required.
  - after: Filter Pokémon by generation, type, regional pokédex, or egg group. Returns names and PokéAPI IDs; every returned name works as a pokeapi_get_pokemon identifier, where a species name resolves to its default variety. At least one of generation, type, pokedex, or egg_group is required; the ones provided are combined with AND logic, and query adds strict token matching on name within them. A call with no category filter, with or without query, returns an empty result and a notice naming the requirement.
- 2026-09-30 `pokeapi_get_item` changed (description, outputSchema)
  - before: Get item details by name or numeric ID — effect text, category, in-game cost, fling power, item attributes (holdable, consumable, etc.), sprite URL, and Pokémon that commonly hold it.
  - after: Get item details by name or numeric ID — effect text, category, versioned purchase and sell prices, fling power, item attributes (holdable, consumable, etc.), sprite URL, and Pokémon that commonly hold it.
- 2026-09-30 `pokeapi_get_move` changed (outputSchema)
- 2026-09-30 `pokeapi_get_type_matchups` changed (description, inputSchema)

- 2026-09-30 `pokeapi_get_pokemon` changed (description, inputSchema, outputSchema)
  - before: Get a fully denormalized Pokémon dossier in a single call — base stats, types, abilities (with full English effect text), height/weight, resolved evolution chain, sprite URLs including official artwork, species flavor text, variety list, capture rate, growth rate, gender rate, legendary/mythical flags, egg groups, and (optionally) a summarized learnable-move list. Accepts a name (lowercase, hyphens for spaces, e.g. "bulbasaur", "mr-mime") or Pokédex number. Set include_moves=true to include the move summary (large); defaults to false. Use game_version to select flavor text from a specific game (e.g. "sword", "red"); falls back to the most recent English entry when the version is not found. Use pokeapi_find_pokemon to discover Pokémon by type, generation, or egg group before calling this tool.

## Tools (7)

- `pokeapi_find_pokemon`: Filter Pokémon by generation, type, regional pokédex, or egg group. Returns names and PokéAPI IDs; every returned name works as a pokeapi_get_pokemon identifier, where a species name resolves to its default variety. At least one of generation, type, pokedex, or egg_group is required; the ones provided are combined with AND logic, and query adds strict token matching on name within them. A call with no category filter, with or without query, returns an empty result and a notice naming the requirement.
- `pokeapi_get_ability`: Get ability details by name or numeric ID — full English effect text, short effect text, generation introduced, and the list of Pokémon that have the ability (including hidden-ability flag and slot). Ability names are returned by pokeapi_get_pokemon in the abilities array.
- `pokeapi_get_item`: Get item details by name or numeric ID — effect text, category, versioned purchase and sell prices, fling power, item attributes (holdable, consumable, etc.), sprite URL, and Pokémon that commonly hold it.
- `pokeapi_get_move`: Get move details by name or numeric ID — type, damage class, power, accuracy, PP, priority, target, stat changes, status-effect chance, and full English effect text. Set include_learners=true to include the list of Pokémon that can learn the move. Move names are available from pokeapi_get_pokemon when include_moves=true.
- `pokeapi_get_nature`: Get nature details — the stat boosted (+10%), stat reduced (-10%), and preferred/disliked berry flavors. Omit the identifier to list all 25 natures at once. Natures are critical for competitive team-building: every non-neutral nature modifies two stats by ±10%.
- `pokeapi_get_pokemon`: Get a fully denormalized Pokémon dossier in a single call — base stats, types, abilities (with full English effect text), height/weight, resolved evolution chain, sprite URLs including official artwork, species flavor text, variety list, capture rate, growth rate, gender rate, legendary/mythical flags, egg groups, and (optionally) a summarized learnable-move list. Accepts a name (lowercase, hyphens for spaces, e.g. "bulbasaur", "mr-mime") or PokéAPI Pokémon-record ID. A species name with no Pokémon record of its own (e.g. "deoxys") resolves to the default variety of that species ("deoxys-normal"), reported in resolvedFromSpecies. Set include_moves=true to include the move summary (large); defaults to false. Use game_version to select flavor text from a specific game (e.g. "sword", "red"); falls back to the most recent English entry when the version is not found. Use pokeapi_find_pokemon to discover Pokémon by type, generation, or egg group before calling this tool.
- `pokeapi_get_type_matchups`: Get the full offensive and defensive type effectiveness breakdown. Provide either a type name (e.g. "fire", "psychic") or a Pokémon identifier (name or PokéAPI Pokémon-record ID; a species name resolves to its default variety). For dual-type Pokémon, the defensive multipliers are correctly composed (e.g. Fire/Flying vs Rock = 4× because both types are weak to Rock). Exactly one of type or pokemon must be provided.
