Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

compare
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"].
criteria
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.
evaluate
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.
quick
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.

MCP Judge — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can MCP Judge do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_mcps, evaluate_mcp, list_criteria, quick_check. 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 MCP Judge 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 113 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect MCP Judge?
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 MCP Judge need an API key?
No. MCP Judge completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is MCP Judge?
It answers our handshake in 113 ms on average, which is faster than 92% 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.
