explain
explain_finding
Explain a finding code returned by any Store Canary tool (for example ssl_hsts or exposure_debug_log) in plain words, with a suggested fix. Makes no network requests.
exposure
check_exposure
Flag WordPress, WooCommerce, plugin and PHP versions a store shows publicly (generator tags, asset ?ver= values, X-Powered-By), a public /readme.html and a readable /wp-content/debug.log. Log contents are never returned or kept. Read-only: one run of GET requests only; never logs in, adds to cart or submits forms. Nothing is monitored or saved; ongoing checks are Store Canary Pro. A bare hostname is fine; URL paths are ignored and the host's homepage is checked.
policies
check_policies
Check that the homepage links to privacy, terms, shipping and returns/refunds pages, and that each linked page on the same site loads. Read-only: one run of GET requests only; never logs in, adds to cart or submits forms. Nothing is monitored or saved; ongoing checks are Store Canary Pro. A bare hostname is fine; URL paths are ignored and the host's homepage is checked.
products
check_products
Read up to 10 published products from the public WooCommerce Store API and flag missing prices, missing images and out-of-stock items. Read-only: one run of GET requests only; never logs in, adds to cart or submits forms. Nothing is monitored or saved; ongoing checks are Store Canary Pro. A bare hostname is fine; URL paths are ignored and the host's homepage is checked.
seo
check_seo_basics
Check a store's robots.txt (and whether it blocks the whole site), its XML sitemap, the homepage title and meta description, and noindex on the homepage. Read-only: one run of GET requests only; never logs in, adds to cart or submits forms. Nothing is monitored or saved; ongoing checks are Store Canary Pro. A bare hostname is fine; URL paths are ignored and the host's homepage is checked.
speed
check_speed
Time one download each of a store's homepage, one product page and the cart from Cloudflare's network. One sample per page, not a lab test or an average. Read-only: one run of GET requests only; never logs in, adds to cart or submits forms. Nothing is monitored or saved; ongoing checks are Store Canary Pro. A bare hostname is fine; URL paths are ignored and the host's homepage is checked.
ssl
check_ssl
Check that a store's HTTPS certificate is accepted, http:// permanently redirects to https://, the redirect chain is short and stays on HTTPS, and an HSTS header is set. The exact certificate expiry date isn't visible to an outside fetch. Read-only: one run of GET requests only; never logs in, adds to cart or submits forms. Nothing is monitored or saved; ongoing checks are Store Canary Pro. A bare hostname is fine; URL paths are ignored and the host's homepage is checked.
store
check_store
Check a public WooCommerce store from the outside: is it reachable, is HTTPS valid and are redirects sane, is WooCommerce detected, do /cart/ and /checkout/ load, and are payment markers visible on checkout. Read-only: GET requests only, never adds to cart, logs in or submits forms. Returns pass/warn/fail findings plus a link to the full audit. Pass a bare hostname or URL; paths are ignored and the host's homepage is checked.

The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Store Canary working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 135 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Store Canary?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Store Canary need an API key?
No. Store Canary completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Store Canary?
It answers our handshake in 135 ms on average, which is faster than 88% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Store Canary open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.storecanary.app, which runs on its operator's own terms.
