Server Quality Checklist

67%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v0.2.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct action (auth operations, data retrieval for portfolios, liabilities, cashflow, accounts, manual accounts). Descriptions explicitly differentiate between summary vs details and which tool to prefer. No overlaps.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    All tools share the 'money_forward_' prefix and mostly follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., get_portfolio_summary, set_cookie). Minor inconsistencies: auth_status and auth_login use a noun/verb after 'auth' rather than a clear verb, but the pattern is strong overall.

    Tool Count5/5

    14 tools is well-scoped for a personal finance management server. Covers authentication (5 tools) and data retrieval (9 tools) without being overwhelming or too sparse.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool surface covers all major read operations (portfolio, liabilities, cashflow, accounts) and authentication lifecycle. Lacks write/modify operations, but that appears intentional for a read-only or viewer-focused MCP server.

  • Average 4.4/5 across 14 of 14 tools scored. Lowest: 3.8/5.

How to sync the server with GitHub?

Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

  • Behavior1/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    Description implies a read-only operation ('returns'), but annotations set readOnlyHint: false, indicating potential side effects. This contradiction misleads the agent about the tool's behavior.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Two sentences with no filler. First sentence delivers core purpose; second sentence provides usage tips. Highly efficient and well-structured.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    The tool has 3 optional parameters, an output schema, and siblings. The description covers usage but fails to address the behavioral contradiction, leaving the agent uncertain about side effects. Missing essential behavioral context.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema coverage is 100%, baseline 3. The description adds value by explaining that month ensures reproducibility and filters reduce response size, going beyond the schema's basic parameter descriptions.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description explicitly states 'Returns individual cashflow rows,' using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'cashflow_summary' by noting that the summary is for totals and category questions.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines5/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description provides clear guidance: 'Prefer cashflow_summary for totals and category questions' gives an alternative, and 'Pass an explicit month for reproducible results; filters reduce response size' advises on parameter usage.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    Annotations already indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint: false) and external call (openWorldHint: true). The description adds value by stating it writes sensitive local state and includes a security warning. It does not contradict annotations.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is concise with two sentences, each adding distinct value: one for purpose and one for security guidance. No redundant or unnecessary information.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's simplicity, existing annotations, and presence of an output schema, the description is sufficiently complete. It covers the main action and a critical security note. Minor omissions like behavior on verify failure are handled by the schema.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema coverage is 100% and both parameters are well-described in the schema. The description does not add new meaning beyond what the schema provides, thus baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the tool's action: 'Verifies and stores a trusted full Cookie header in the local config file.' It distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on setting the cookie, as opposed to other auth tools like clear_cookie or auth_login.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines3/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description includes a strong security warning about using the tool only in trusted conversations, which provides some guidance. However, it does not explicitly explain when to use this tool over closely related siblings like money_forward_auth_login or money_forward_clear_cookie, leaving the usage context incomplete.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    Discloses side effects: opens a browser (consistent with openWorldHint) and stores cookies (consistent with non-read-only annotation). Does not note any destructive actions, which is acceptable for a login tool.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Two sentences, no fluff: first explains action, second gives alternative usage. Front-loaded with core purpose.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Sufficient for a single-parameter tool with an output schema (not shown but indicated). Describes the login flow and cookie storage. Could mention credentials handling, but not critical.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema covers the only parameter (headless) with 100% description coverage. The tool description adds no extra parameter semantics beyond what the schema already provides.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states it opens a Playwright browser login flow and stores cookies locally. It distinguishes from sibling tools like set_cookie by mentioning remote server context.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines4/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    Explicitly tells when to use set_cookie instead (for remote servers). Also implies headed mode for MFA via the headless parameter description. Could provide more guidance on when to use auth_check vs login, but overall clear.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior3/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the agent knows it's a safe read operation. The description adds no additional behavioral context (e.g., error handling, rate limits), but it is consistent with annotations.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is a single sentence plus a directive, conveying all necessary information without any wasted words. It is concise and front-loaded.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    The description, combined with annotations and output schema, is mostly complete. It covers usage, parameter, and safety. Minor omission: no mention of behavior for invalid IDs or empty results, but these are likely covered by error handling.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema coverage is 100% with a description for the only parameter. The description reinforces that the ID should be passed exactly, but adds no new meaning beyond the schema's 'Opaque id returned by money_forward_list_manual_accounts'.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states 'Lists assets for one custom/manual account.' It uses the verb 'lists' with a specific resource 'assets' and scope 'for one custom/manual account', distinguishing it from siblings like 'money_forward_list_manual_accounts' which lists accounts.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines5/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description explicitly provides a prerequisite: 'First call money_forward_list_manual_accounts and pass its id exactly.' This tells the agent exactly when and how to use the tool, offering clear sequential guidance.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior3/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the description's role is reduced. It adds that the tool contacts Money Forward to verify cookie access, which aligns with the annotations but does not elaborate on potential side effects or failure modes.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description consists of two concise sentences. The first sentence explains the action, and the second provides usage guidance. No unnecessary words.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness5/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no parameters and the presence of an output schema, the description is sufficiently complete. It covers the tool's purpose and when to use it, which is adequate for an auth check tool.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    The tool has zero parameters and schema coverage is 100%, so the description need not add parameter details. Following the baseline rule for 0 params, a score of 4 is appropriate.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the tool contacts Money Forward and verifies cookie access to an authenticated page. It uses specific verbs ('contacts', 'verifies') and distinguishes from siblings by specifying the trigger scenario (when a data tool reports an authentication error).

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines4/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description explicitly says 'Call this when a data tool reports an authentication error', providing a clear usage condition. However, it does not mention when not to use or explicitly name alternative tools like 'money_forward_auth_status'.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    Annotations provide readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. The description adds value by explaining the sign convention for net value and the source property, giving behavioral context beyond what annotations provide. No contradictions.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness5/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no parameters and the presence of an output schema (not shown but indicated), the description explains the return structure (flat list, sign convention, source column) sufficiently. No gaps.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    The input schema has no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter info, and it adds no param details, which is acceptable. Baseline 4 applies.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the tool returns a flat account-entry list across multiple account types, specifying the verb 'returns' and the resource 'account-entry list'. It distinguishes from siblings by emphasizing the flat list nature and including sign convention (assets positive, liabilities negative).

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines3/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description implies usage for obtaining a combined view of all account types but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over siblings like portfolio_summary or liability_summary. No exclusions or alternatives are mentioned.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, but the description adds specificity: it deletes only the config-file Cookie (not environment-variable cookies) and warns of disabling subsequent data tools. This provides valuable behavioral context beyond annotations.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given zero parameters, presence of an output schema (context signals), and clear annotations, the description is mostly complete. It could mention the return value, but the output schema handles that. Overall adequate for a side-effect tool.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    There are zero parameters, and schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter meaning; a baseline of 4 is appropriate as no additional parameter info is required.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the tool deletes the config-file Cookie and may disable subsequent data tools, distinguishing it from sibling tools like money_forward_set_cookie and auth tools. The verb 'deletes' and specific resource 'config-file Cookie' provide precise purpose.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines4/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description implies when to use (to clear cookie) and warns that it may disable subsequent data tools. It does not explicitly state when not to use or name alternatives, but the warning about impact on other tools serves as effective guidance.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    Annotations already indicate idempotentHint=true and openWorldHint=true. Description adds that month should be passed as YYYY-MM for reproducible results, which is useful behavioral context beyond annotations.

    Input schema has no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. Baseline is 3, but description adds no parameter info (none needed). However, describing output fields is helpful despite output schema existing, so slight bonus.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states it returns individual liabilities with specific fields (positive amounts owed, category, description, institution). It distinguishes the tool from its sibling money_forward_get_account by noting that the sibling provides a signed flat account view.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines5/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    Explicitly states when to use this tool (for individual liabilities with positive amounts) and when to use an alternative (money_forward_get_account for signed flat account view). Provides direct sibling reference.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. Description adds that the response is larger, providing useful behavioral context about size/performance without contradicting annotations.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Two sentences conveying purpose, content, and usage guidance without waste. Every sentence earns its place.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness5/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Has output schema so return values need not be detailed. Description covers what data is returned (holdings, asset class, values, institutions, source-specific) and notes response size relative to sibling. Complete for a read-only detailed list tool.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    No parameters exist; schema coverage is 100%. Baseline for zero parameters is 4, and description adds no parameter information as none needed.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    Clearly states the tool returns individual holdings grouped by asset class with values, institutions, and source-specific fields. Distinguishes from sibling money_forward_get_portfolio_summary by noting it returns more detailed data.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines5/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    Explicitly advises using portfolio_summary when holdings are not required, giving clear context on when to use this tool versus its lighter-weight sibling.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations by specifying the scope (only manual accounts). Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the description's addition of account-type restriction is valued. No contradictions.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is extremely concise: one sentence identifying the function and one sentence of guidance. No wasted words; every sentence adds value.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness5/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's simplicity (no parameters, straightforward purpose, output schema exists), the description is complete. It tells the agent what the tool does and what it does not do, and with the output schema providing return details, the agent has all needed info.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    The tool has no parameters, and the schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter details, but it could briefly note that no parameters are required. However, baseline for 0 parameters is 4, so this is adequate.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The tool name and description clearly state it lists only manual accounts, distinct from linked bank accounts. The description explicitly specifies the resource (custom/manual accounts) and verb (list), and distinguishes it from the sibling money_forward_get_account.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines5/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description explicitly states when not to use this tool ('Do not use for linked banks, cards, securities, or loans') and provides the alternative tool (money_forward_get_account). This gives the agent clear guidance on tool selection.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
