## Quality 88/100 (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.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: 93 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.directory_hints`: every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 5,099 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: 35, about 5,099 tokens to load them all

## Tools (35)

- `authenticate`: MCP.AI for IDE agents (Cursor, etc.): log in in the browser, copy the access token. Best: add it to this server's config as a header `Authorization: Bearer <token>` for a permanent, non-expiring connection. Or paste it here for a session-only login: call with { token: "<jwt>" } after the user pastes, or with no args to get the link.
- `connect`: Returns connection status and URLs. When all providers are connected, returns authenticated:true and empty pending[]. When credentials are missing, returns connect_url for the toolkit and per-install URLs.
- `marketplace`: The official mcp.ai marketplace — the in-platform catalog of every MCP/tool, AND the way to run them. Covers capability requests like "find an MCP that does X", "consulta um CPF", "is there a tool for Y". Core flow: action=search discovers MCPs by intent → describe returns one MCP's full profile (every tool with its id + params, pricing, auth) so you pick the right tool_id → invoke RUNS that tool. KEY: invoke works even when the MCP is NOT installed — it runs the tool pontualmente (one-off), without adding the MCP to the toolkit and without bloating the tool list. If the MCP needs a credential/login, invoke returns a connect link; if it is paid and the wallet is empty, invoke returns a checkout/top-up link (the user opens it, then you retry). Use install only to make an MCP PERMANENT in the active toolkit (its tools then show up natively in future sessions); prefer invoke for a single/occasional use. list_tools lists what is callable right now. subscribe/cancel handle per-MCP billing; report_bug sends feedback; request_mcp asks us to build a NEW MCP when nothing fits. Search/describe flag installed_in_toolkit vs installed_in_workspace. Writes (install/uninstall/subscribe/cancel and the one-off install behind invoke) require workspace owner/admin. It also carries the mcp.ai PROMPT LIBRARY, which is about ready-made prompt TEXT rather than MCPs: search_prompts finds one, get_prompt returns its full text with {{variables}} filled, and publish_prompt saves a prompt and returns a shareable mcp.ai/p/<slug> link that opens without login.
- `report_bug`: Report a bug, missing feature, or send feedback. Include the conversation array with recent messages for reproduction.
- `show_version`: Show the current MCP platform and adapter versions.
- `toolkit_info`: Returns the current toolkit state: installed MCPs, their connection status, the accounts connected to each one, and how many catalog tools each exposes.
- `youtube_api`: Escape hatch: call any path on the YouTube backend. Pass path (e.g. /search), optional method (default GET), query map, and JSON body for POST. Prefer the named youtube_* tools when available; this is for routes not in the manifest.
- `youtube_channel_about`: Channel description, links, country, subscriber count, banner.

Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.
- `youtube_channel_community`: Community posts tab for a channel.

Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.
- `youtube_channel_featured`: Featured channels listed on a channel. Note: YouTube deprecated the featured-channels tab; this route exists upstream but typically returns an empty/error envelope.

Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.
- `youtube_channel_home`: Channel home page payload (featured shelves + meta).

Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.
- `youtube_channel_playlists`: Channel playlists tab.

Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.
- `youtube_channel_search`: Search a channel's own videos and playlists.

Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.

Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.

Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.
- `youtube_channel_videos`: Channel videos tab.

Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.

Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.
- `youtube_comment_delete`: Apaga DEFINITIVAMENTE um comentário (não tem desfazer). Só funciona em comentário do próprio canal ou em vídeo do canal conectado. Para esconder sem apagar, prefira youtube_comment_moderate com `rejected`. Custa 50 unidades da cota.

Bulk support: accepts comment_ids for batched execution.
- `youtube_comment_moderate`: Modera comentários no canal conectado: publica (`published`), segura para revisão (`heldForReview`) ou rejeita (`rejected`). `ban_author` só é aceito junto de `rejected`. Vale apenas para comentários em vídeos do próprio canal. Custa 50 unidades por comentário.
- `youtube_comment_post`: Publica um comentário NOVO de topo em um vídeo, como o canal conectado. Para responder alguém, use youtube_comment_reply. Custa 50 unidades da cota.

Bulk support: accepts video_ids for batched execution.
- `youtube_comment_reply`: Responde comentários como o canal conectado. Aceita VÁRIAS respostas numa chamada (`replies`), e um item que falha não derruba os outros. `parent_id` tem que ser o id de um comentário de TOPO (campo `id` do thread devolvido por youtube_comment_threads), nunca o id de uma resposta. Cada resposta consome 50 unidades da cota da API do YouTube, então responda o que importa em vez de varrer o canal.
- `youtube_comments`: Top-level comments thread for a video.

Bulk support: accepts ids for batched execution.
- `youtube_comment_threads`: Comentários de TOPO pela API oficial, com as respostas já existentes. É daqui que sai o `parent_id` usado em youtube_comment_reply (o id do thread), então prefira esta tool a youtube_comments quando a intenção for responder. Sem `video_id`, traz os comentários do canal conectado inteiro (bom para 'o que ainda não respondi'). Custa 1 unidade da cota.

Bulk support: accepts video_ids, channel_ids for batched execution.
- `youtube_comment_update`: Edita o texto de um comentário ou resposta PUBLICADO pelo canal conectado (corrigir um erro sem apagar e repostar, o que perderia as curtidas e o encadeamento). Só funciona em comentário de autoria do próprio canal. Custa 50 unidades da cota.
