mcpindex MCP server

mcpindex is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 6 tools, among them assess_server, check_tool_trust, compare_servers. It answers at https://mcpindex.ai/api/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 11 September 2026; the last check, on 22 October 2026, succeeded.

Description as the publisher wrote it.

The 6 tools mcpindex offers

Tool	What it does
`assess_server`	Aggregated pre-flight trust assessment across all tools on an MCP server. Same verdict shape as check_tool_trust. Use for "is THIS server worth integrating?" decisions. v1 advisory; conformance monitored not enforced; verdicts may be UNVERI Inputs: server_id
`check_tool_trust`	Pre-invocation advisory screen for a specific tool on an MCP server. Returns an advisory verdict object (directive ALLOW \| DENY \| REVIEW \| UNVERIFIED, dimensions, freshness). At v1 the public screen produces REVIEW or UNVERIFIED only - ALLO Inputs: server_id, tool_name
`compare_servers`	Side-by-side comparison of 2-5 MCP servers - quality scores, install paths, env vars. Inputs: slugs
`get_install_command`	Get the exact install command for a given MCP server and client. Returns a JSON block ready to paste into the client config. Inputs: server_slug, client
`recommend_mcp_for_task`	Recommend the best MCP servers for a natural-language task. Returns top 3 ranked picks with reasoning, install commands, and quality scores. Use this when the user asks for the right MCP server for a task they want to do. Inputs: task
