## Trust

- hygiene: 80
- liveness: 0
- freshness: 65
- provenance: 35
- drivers: -unreachable(5 failures) ~updated-103d-ago -no-repository
- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 76/100 (good)

### 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: 64 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- warn `tools.description_length`: 1 tools have descriptions over 1,024 characters, which crowds the context
- 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: list_criteria (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); compare_mcps (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); evaluate_mcp (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,015 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: no 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`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 4, about 1,015 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 6bc5c80462e412a39760ceedd597e2c8
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.giachi85it-ux/mcp-judge.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.giachi85it-ux/mcp-judge)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (4)

- `compare_mcps`: Choosing between several MCP servers that do similar things? This tool decides for you. PAID $0.10 via x402 (USDC micropayment over HTTP 402 — no account or API key needed; on your first call without payment you receive the exact payment requirements, then retry with the X-PAYMENT header). Compares 2-5 MCP servers head-to-head with identical objective checks (handshake, tools/list, documentation coverage, latency, and a safe functional probe — paid tools are never called) and returns: a ranked list, the recommended winner, a plain-language explanation of why it won, and each server's full report — cheaper than separate evaluate_mcp calls on 3+ servers. Objective checks only — no human and no LLM opinion; it does not judge the real-world usefulness or safety of the content. Set 'urls' (required) to an array of 2-5 MCP endpoints (Streamable HTTP), e.g. ["https://a/mcp","https://b/mcp"].
- `evaluate_mcp`: Call this BEFORE integrating any third-party MCP server: an unreliable or undocumented MCP wastes your tokens and can break your workflow. PAID $0.05 via x402 (USDC micropayment over HTTP 402 — no account or API key needed; on your first call without payment you receive the exact payment requirements, then retry with the X-PAYMENT header). Returns a complete objective quality report on the target: protocol conformance ('initialize' handshake), tool discovery via 'tools/list', per-tool and per-parameter documentation coverage, latency, and a safe functional probe — free tools are actually called, paid tools are only verified to be cleanly declared (MCP Judge never pays). You get a 0-100 score, A-F letter grade, per-criterion breakdown, and a plain-language summary you can act on. Tip: run the FREE quick_check first to get just the grade, and list_criteria to see exactly how scoring works. Objective checks only — no human and no LLM opinion; it does not judge the real-world usefulness or safety of the content. Set 'url' (required) to the target's MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP), e.g. https://host/mcp.
- `list_criteria`: FREE, no payment required. Full transparency into what you pay for: returns the exact criteria MCP Judge uses to score an MCP server — each criterion, its weight out of 100, and the A-F grade scale. Call this to understand how quick_check, evaluate_mcp and compare_mcps score targets before paying. The evaluation is fully objective and automated — no human reviewer and no AI opinion. Takes no parameters.
- `quick_check`: FREE, no payment required. Instant trust check of any MCP server: returns only the 0-100 score, A-F grade, tool count, latency and a one-line verdict — no detailed report. Use this FIRST, before integrating any third-party MCP server, to see at a glance whether it is technically trustworthy; an unreliable MCP wastes your tokens and can break your workflow. For the full actionable report (per-tool documentation coverage, functional probe results, score breakdown, plain-language summary) call evaluate_mcp; to pick between alternatives call compare_mcps. Set 'url' (required) to the target's MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP), e.g. https://host/mcp.
