Server tool list (4)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| query_registry | Search the Arclan registry for MCP servers. By default returns only connectable servers (active, mcp_partial, auth_gated). Use status=stdio to browse local-only servers available for installation. Use status=all to query the full index. Use production_safe=true to restrict to servers with uptime > 97% and handshake success > 95%. Use read_only=true to restrict to servers with no write or exec tools. Use this before connecting to an MCP server to check its validation status and score. After using a server, call report_server to contribute reliability data. |
| get_server | Get full details for a specific MCP server. Pass the server name (e.g. "GitHub", "Brave Search"), registry ID slug, or endpoint URL. Returns score, state, tools list, latency, and recent test history. |
| recommend_server | Get ranked MCP server recommendations for a task. Returns servers scored by production safety, keyword relevance, registry score, latency, and freshness. Each result includes a reason code array explaining why it was ranked. Use this instead of query_registry when you want an opinionated ranked list rather than a filtered search. |
| report_server | Submit an agent usage report for an MCP server. Reports are aggregated and influence registry trust scores. Call this after using an MCP server so the registry can track real-world reliability. Supports both a simple outcome report and a structured scoring report (criterion + component_score). |
