Vendor-hosted
Tested Creative Market's hosted, read-only MCP at https://mcp.creativemarket.com/mcp (server pointguard-mcp 0.5.0). Initialize and tools/list over Streamable HTTP succeeded with no credentials and listed 9 tools (autocomplete, browse_category, browse_shop, find_similar, get_product, get_product_details, identify_font, search_products, suggested_searches). Real calls (no LLM, no credentials): search_products {query:'hand-lettered script font for wedding invitations'} returned priced product matches with links; autocomplete {prefix:'scri',size:5} returned suggestions (script, script font, ...). Other tools not called. A PyPI package pointguard-mcp (MIT, author Creative Market) exists but has no public repository, so the vendor-hosted rule applies (license 0, 65 cap; not source-audited). Official MCP registry com.creativemarket/creative-market 0.5.0 (published 2026-11-09).
Tool-call test (2026-11-10, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 2 of 2 read-only calls passed anonymously. Evidence: live endpoint probe, Nov 10, 2026.
Creative Market-hosted endpoint (server pointguard-mcp 0.5.0). Initialize, tools/list (9 tools) and real searches worked with no account. A PyPI package pointguard-mcp (MIT, author Creative Market) exists but has no public repository, so the listing is scored as vendor-hosted with the 65 cap (Our review, Nov 9, 2026).

What we tested and what we didn't
Tested on 2026-11-10
- We connected to the vendor's hosted endpoint with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 9 tools (Method details: MCP
initializethentools/list) - Auth response: none. The endpoint answered without any login
- Vendor docs: official MCP docs page; states the endpoint URL; client setup instructions (15/15)
- Maintenance: dated vendor source, vendor docs page (date from page metadata) 2026-11-06 (25/25)
- License: a hosted service has no license to cite (0/10)
- Token cost (estimate)
Not tested
- Security: not audited (hosted service; no code to review, no permission or data-flow analysis)
- Behaviour after signing in, or with a real account
- Source code, repository activity or an open-source license (none published for the hosted service)
- Performance, rate limits or load
- Real tasks (no functional task runs yet)
Methodology: how we test (vendor-hosted rule). A high score means it responds and its vendor documents and dates it, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
Known security issues
Not checked (remote-only): hosted endpoint, version unknown.
