Angler

Built for the It's Today Media $5,000 Build Challenge. AI creative strategy engine for affiliate media buyers — mines winning competitor ads, deconstructs their creative DNA, audits your ad set for Entity ID collapse, and generates net-new angle briefs with platform-ready copy.

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

3 flows detected: APIFY_TOKEN. We can’t prove the destination matches the brand the credential belongs to.
🚨
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 2 critical, 3 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.

You'll be asked for 3 credentials: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, APIFY_TOKEN, GEMINI_API_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

list_verticals

List the pre-analyzed ad-market verticals and sample ad sets available from this server.

get_market_winners

Top competitor ads currently winning in a vertical, ranked by run-duration (longevity is a public proxy for profitability), plus a summary of what's winning and why.

get_market_dna

Structured creative-DNA records (hook type, angle, format, offer framing, CTA style, persona) for a vertical's winning ads.

get_diversity_report

Entity-ID collapse analysis for a sample ad set: how many distinct concepts Meta's algorithm actually sees, which ads collapse together, and the proven market angles the set is missing.

get_angle_briefs

Prioritized net-new angle briefs for a vertical, with platform copy variants and evidence citations back to the winning market ads.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

5/5 tools missing one or more hints — list_verticals (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_market_winners (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_market_dna (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +2 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tool inputs are validated

4/5 tool handlers declare input schemas (80%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

License file

No license file

Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).

Tool test coverage

Only 0/5 tools referenced in tests (0%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

Production dependencies are patched

2 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — next@15.5.19 (critical), next@15.5.19 (critical)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
