Review an MCP connector before connecting

- List every tool and sort it
- Check sign-in and scope
- Follow the data

Example
What you give it
Our support lead wants to connect HelpDocs' MCP server to Claude so it can draft replies from our help center. URL from HelpDocs' site. Tools listed: search_articles, get_article, create_article, delete_article. Sign-in is with your HelpDocs account. Their data page says they log requests for 30 days in the EU.
What you get back (the start of it)
Connector review: HelpDocs MCP server
Job: Let Claude read our help center articles to draft support replies. Publisher: HelpDocs · Official for HelpDocs? Yes · Hosted: remote URL Decision: Connect with conditions — the job needs only the two read tools; the write tools are off.
