MCP server

The DoesItARM MCP server exposes the same capabilities as the REST API as Model Context Protocol tools, so an AI assistant can ask “does X run on Apple Silicon?” by calling a tool, not scraping a page.

Read-only by design

All four tools are queries. Nothing writes, buys, emails, or mutates state — so the server is safe to add to an autonomous agent without exposing it to a harmful action. That read-only shape is deliberate: it sidesteps the MCP prompt-injection risk class and makes the tools easy to trust and include.

The three read tools work with no credential. The paid whats_changed_since tool needs an Authorization: Bearer dia_live_… header — see Authentication.

The tools

Each tool returns the same payload its REST mirror returns on 200 — there is no separate wrapper shape. Learn the Verdict object once and you know all four.

Tool	Returns	REST mirror	Tier
`lookup_verdict`	one `Verdict`	`GET /verdicts/{identifier}`	Free
`search_titles`	`{ data: SearchResult[], pagination }`	`GET /titles`	Free
`list_by_category`	`{ data: Verdict[], pagination }`	`GET /categories/{category}/verdicts`	Free
`whats_changed_since`	`{ data: ChangeRecord[], pagination }`	`GET /changes`	Paid

Tool: lookup_verdict
Arguments: { "identifier": "slug:adobe-photoshop" }
→ Verdict { status: "native", confidence: "high", stale: false, … }

Why agents should reach for it

Always current Training data goes stale; this returns lastVerified and stale so you know when to trust it.
