Tested BestPrice's hosted MCP at https://mcp.bestprice.gr/mcp (server bestprice-agent-commerce 1.9.0; repo TheBestCo/bestprice-mcp, Apache-2.0). Read-only price comparison for the Greek market; replies are in Greek. Initialize and tools/list worked with no account (6 tools). Real calls: search_products (iPhone 16), get_price_history and compare_offers for the returned product all answered with prices in euros.
Tool-call test (2026-11-11, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 3 of 3 read calls passed anonymously. Evidence: live endpoint probe, Nov 11, 2026.
Transport (tested 2026-11-11): Streamable HTTP
Token cost (estimate): approx. 2536 tokens, cl100k estimate (6 tools, measured 2026-11-11). This is an estimate from our testing of the tool names, descriptions and input schemas, counted with cl100k_base.

What we tested and what we didn't
Tested on 2026-11-11
- Install from the registry (remote endpoint: connection only)
- We connected with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 6 tools (Method details: MCP
initializethentools/list) - Maintenance signals (last push, archived/deprecated status)
- Docs (README length, install and config example)
- License (OSI-approved or not)
- Token cost (estimate)
Not tested
- Security: not audited (no code review, no permission or data-flow analysis)
- Real tasks (no functional task runs yet)
- Behaviour with real credentials or a real account
- Performance, rate limits or load
- Correctness of results beyond the listed tasks
Methodology: how we test. A high score means it installs and responds, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
Known security issues
Not checked (remote-only): hosted endpoint, version unknown.
