Capped at 70: core tools not tested (only setup or self-check calls passed); the tests add up to 100. Why scores are capped
Test points add up to 100; the score is capped at 70 until a tool call passes. Not a quality or security rating. Methodology

Git-only (pinned)
Git-only (pinned): installed from GitHub commit dbd42638a50b65e7fa3f571aca0bd1229ec6f891 (uvx --from git+https://github.com/timoncool/google-ai-mode-mcp@<sha>#subdirectory=server google-ai-mode-mcp), build run only inside our no-network sandbox. Initialize and tools/list worked (5 tools). Installed from the repo's server/ subdirectory (uvx --from git+…@<sha>#subdirectory=server; hatchling build, no install scripts). Real call (no credentials): health returned status ok with extension_connected false. search, search_many, follow_up and generate_image were not called: they need the project's Chrome/Firefox extension in a browser signed in to Google. On start the server launches a separate local HTTP backend (127.0.0.1:15551) that kept running after our MCP session closed; we stopped it by hand. npm google-ai-mode-mcp is an unrelated older package by another author. Not listed on Glama when tested. Score capped at 70 (setup and self-check calls do not count as a tested tool): only the health self-check passed; core tools not tested (search needs the browser extension and a Google sign-in).
Tool-call test (2026-11-09, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): self-check only. 1 of 1 call passed (health self-check). Search tools not called (need the browser extension and a Google sign-in). Setup/self-check calls only: core tools not tested. Evidence: local test run, Nov 9, 2026.

What we tested and what we didn't
Tested on 2026-11-09
- Install from the registry
- We connected with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 5 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.
