    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that MCP Observatory: one read only walk over every https endpoint in the official registry's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
