Tested npm @growsurfteam/growsurf-mcp 0.19.30 (MIT; repo growsurf/growsurf-mcp, 0 GitHub stars when tested). Initialize and tools/list over stdio succeeded with no credentials and listed 66 tools (guidance plus campaign/participant/analytics wrappers). Real calls (no LLM, no API key): growsurf_program_design_advisor (empty args) returned documentation-based program-design advice and pointed at the hosted MCP for program-data insights; growsurf_integration_guide returned the happy-path integration Markdown; growsurf_client_snippets returned client-side JavaScript examples. Account/API tools were not called. Hosted remotes (not separately listed): https://growsurf.com/.well-known/mcp completed initialize anonymously and listed 1 tool (growsurf_program_design_advisor); https://mcp.growsurf.com and https://mcp.growsurf.com/mcp returned HTTP 401 with a proper OAuth challenge (WWW-Authenticate resource_metadata https://mcp.growsurf.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource; metadata authorization_servers https://mcp.growsurf.com). We did not sign in or set a GrowSurf API key. Vendor MCP docs at docs.growsurf.com/build-with-ai returned HTTP 401 from this tester environment, so we could not verify a vendor-site link to the npm package and did not record official_check. Already listed on Glama (not tagged New / early find).
Tool-call test (2026-11-08, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 3 of 3 read-only guidance calls passed. No API key. Account/campaign mutation tools not called. Evidence: local test run, Nov 8, 2026.
Transport (tested 2026-11-08): stdio

What we tested and what we didn't
Tested on 2026-11-08
- Install from the registry
- We connected with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 66 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.
