Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Orbilo Tools (5)
check_site
Check whether a website is ready for AI agents against the UCP, WebMCP and Access specs. Use this when someone asks "can agents use my site", whether a site supports UCP or WebMCP, or why an agent cannot buy from or act on a page. Returns a score and grade per spec, every check that passed, warned or failed with a fix for each, and a shareable report link. Runs live and can take up to a minute for all three specs. Works without signing in; signed-in users get a higher daily limit.
get_report
Fetch a check report by its share token, the 16 character code at the end of an orbilo.co/check/r/... link. Use this when someone pastes a report link or asks about a check that was already run, instead of checking the site again. Reports expire 30 days after the check. Works without signing in.
list_monitored_sites
List the sites your Orbilo team monitors, with the latest grade per spec (UCP, WebMCP, Access), how many issues are open on each, and how many sites the plan still allows. Use this when someone asks what they are monitoring, how their sites are doing, or whether they can add another site. Requires a connected Orbilo account.
get_site_status
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Orbilo is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, Hub MCP belongs to Developer Tools using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Orbilo when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Hub MCP when you require tools for developer tools.
The current standing of one monitored site: the latest stored check per spec (UCP and Access for the site, WebMCP per monitored page) and every open issue with its fix. Use this when someone asks what is wrong with a site they monitor, what to fix first, or when it was last checked. Pass the domain or the site id from list_monitored_sites. For a site that is not monitored, use check_site instead. Requires a connected Orbilo account.
add_monitored_site
Start monitoring a site: Orbilo checks it against UCP, WebMCP and Access now and on a schedule, and alerts the team when readiness changes. Use this when someone wants ongoing monitoring rather than a one-off check, or asks to be told when their site breaks for agents. Uses one of the plan's site slots. Requires a connected Orbilo account.
