Test results
Safe mode: only tools labeled read-only were run. How the test works
- !Ready for the newest MCP versionnote
1 warning
- !Uses an older MCP version (2025-11-25). It works today, but it isn't on the July 2026 version (2026-07-28) yet.
- !Follows MCP best practices (not scored yet)note
1 tip (not scored)
- !The tool list is about 43 KB (roughly 11k tokens). AI apps send it with every message, so it takes that much of the AI's memory before any work starts.
- !Resources and prompts worknote
1 warning ()

- !Listing resource templates failed: Error POSTing to endpoint: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32000,"message":"Rate limited — max 30 calls/min per IP. Try again shortly."}}
