Forecall open-sources a linter for MCP tool descriptions
Forecall has published forecall-cli on GitHub under Apache-2.0, a tool that scores MCP tool descriptions across six criteria. A scan of 46 popular Smithery servers found that 769 of 1,118 tools (69%) never state when to use them.
- The linter scores each tool out of 100 across six parts
- The official memory server 0.6.3 scored 43.8 out of 100
- 69% of 1,118 tools on Smithery never say when to use them
- It runs offline and supports --fail-under 60 in CI
