What to fix (1)

7 tool name(s) contain "." or exceed 64 characters, which OpenAI-compatible function calling rejects (^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64}$).

Use "_" or "-" instead of "." and keep names to 64 characters, so clients built on OpenAI-style tool calling don't have to rename (or drop) them. How to fix →

FAQ

Is the Thesnakefang Buyapi MCP server down right now?

As of 2026-10-26 21:37 UTC, the Thesnakefang Buyapi MCP server is up with a Glimind reliability score of 92/100 (grade A). Over the last 30 days it answered 99.9% of Glimind's liveness checks. It had 10 outages in 90 days, with a median recovery of 5 minutes.

How many tools does Thesnakefang Buyapi MCP server provide?

Thesnakefang Buyapi MCP server advertises 7 tools, including stacks.findSimilar, stacks.recommend, vendors.compare, vendors.details, vendors.estimateCost.

How do I install Thesnakefang Buyapi MCP server?

Point your MCP client at this streamable-http endpoint: https://buyapi.ai/api/mcp

Is the Thesnakefang Buyapi MCP server safe to connect to an AI agent?

Glimind scanned all 7 tool definitions for tool-poisoning patterns — hidden or invisible characters, instructions that override the model, concealment from the user, requests to read credential or MCP config files, conversation exfiltration and cross-tool shadowing — and found none. This checks what the server tells the model, not what its code does; review the source before granting access to sensitive data.
