✓ Watched since 2026-06-03 — behavioral baseline locked. We re-check this server's tool surface on a schedule; if it adds, removes, or silently rewrites a tool (rug-pull), we record it.
What it offers — 4 tools · Database
openalex_resolve_name
Resolve a name or partial name to an OpenAlex ID. Returns up to 10 matches with disambiguation hints. ALWAYS use this before filtering by entity — nam
openalex_search_entities
Search, filter, sort, or retrieve by ID. Covers all OpenAlex entity types (works, authors, sources, institutions, topics, keywords, publishers, funder
openalex_analyze_trends
Aggregate OpenAlex entities into groups and count them. Use for trend analysis (group works by publication_year), distribution analysis (group by oa_s

Observed behavior
No proxied traffic observed for this host yet. Connect it at /connect and its grade gains a measured Reliability score + per-tool behavioral evidence — the half a static scan can't produce.
Findings
No blocking issues found in the static + spec checks.
We re-grade openalex.caseyjhand.com on a schedule and alert your Slack/webhook the moment its tools change or its grade drops — rug-pull insurance for the connection.
Share this report card
A 1200×630 card with the grade + audit — drop it in a post, Slack, or your repo.
A live badge — it re-verifies itself and shows current stability. Static scorecards can't. Paste it in your README or site to show users you're independently audited.

Agents: check this before connecting
Add the wmcp.sh trust oracle as an MCP server and call grade_mcp_server / check_mcp_drift in your agent's pre-connection gate:

How this grade is computed. An open, independent rubric — Spec conformance (20%), Security mapped to the OWASP MCP Top 10 (30%), Reliability (20%), Tool hygiene (15%), Transparency (15%) — run by connecting to the server and inspecting its real MCP surface. The grade is free and identical whether or not the operator pays. v1 uses static + spec signals from a single connection; continuous uptime, real latency, and annotation-truthing (declared readOnly vs observed behavior) layer on via the wmcp.sh proxy.
