The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

    Lists the types of business finance Switchboard Finance arranges for self-employed Australians and ABN holders, with observed loan sizes, time to fund, maximum LVR and rate ranges across its lender panel. Pass lane for one type's full criteria (security, LVR, trading history, ATO position, deal-breakers, documents, pricing, term). Example: {"lane":"caveat"}. Category-level only; no lender is named.

  • request_callback unknown never probed

    Sends a business owner's finance enquiry to a licensed Switchboard Finance broker, who contacts them by phone, SMS and email. Requires consent: true, meaning the person has agreed to this wording: "I agree to Switchboard Finance contacting me about this enquiry by phone, SMS and email, including follow-up emails I can unsubscribe from at any time." Returns a reference number and the expected contact time. Nothing is applied for and no credit check is run. Retries with the same idempotency_key return the original reference instead of creating a second enquiry.

  • check_fit unknown 1h ago

    Checks whether an Australian business owner's finance need is something Switchboard Finance, a licensed finance broker, can help with, and which finance types fit. Covers ATO or tax debt, bank declines, caveat and second mortgages, private and commercial property loans, development, equipment and vehicles, invoice finance, overdrafts, bad credit and going-concern businesses such as motels. With amount, property value, timing and trading history it also checks loan size, LVR and time to fund against observed ranges, and returns documents usually needed, deal-breakers and an expected callback time. Example: {"purpose":"clear a $180k ATO debt this week","security":"warehouse worth $1.2M, $400k owing","amount":180000,"property_value":1200000,"existing_debt":400000}.

_ try it over mcp through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Own the domain? Prove it and the listing carries a verified badge here too: passport.

_ how we knowoff the mcp door
card completeness
90%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
