Licence risk checking for AI coding agents. LicenseGate checks a software package and its dependency tree, considers how the software will be used, and returns a simple LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH risk result so an agent knows whether it can proceed or should stop for review.
MCP readiness
Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. It is shown for reference and does not move it in search. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here B, 79.6/100), which weighs availability, conformance, p95 speed and descriptor. How the two differ
| Valid MCP handshake | 10/10 | initialize and tools/list both answered. |
| Live MCP endpoint | 25/25 | Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (1375 ms). |
| Protocol revision | 8/10 | Speaks MCP 2025-11-25, 1 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28. |
| Signed descriptor | n/a | No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor. |
| Uptime (30 days) | 15/15 | 30/30 probes succeeded over 30 days (100%). |
| Tool declaration | 5/10 | Lists 1 tool(s) with descriptions. |
| Verified identity | 5/10 | Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control. |
| Freshness + modern flags | 4/5 | seen in a source within 7 days. |
| Auth declaration | 2/5 | Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key. |

Where it loses the most points, and how to win them back
- Tool declaration −5
— Declare every tool with a description and input schema.
Now: Lists 1 tool(s) with descriptions.
- Verified identity −5
— Claim the listing and prove control of its domain.
Now: Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
- Auth declaration −3
— State how to authenticate (an auth scheme, or that none is needed).
Now: Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.
