Fewer than three dated releases found in 90 days (0). Help pages and support (8 of 15). Official registry entry under its own namespace (15). Repository holds docs and manifests (5 of 10). 30 + 0 + 8 + 15 + 5 = 58. Registry presence read from Anchor Terminal's own daily import of the official MCP registry (/api/v1/registry.json, 6 November 2026), not the registry's API.\n- Qovia (77): The newest changes are the registry entry ai.qovia/qovia 0.1.1 and the repository's tools snapshot and plugin manifests on 28 October 2026, after the Python client 0.1.1 on PyPI on 27 October; the repository was pushed on 1 November (30). Eight changelog entries on 21 and 22 October, two registry versions (22 and 28 October) and two PyPI releases (25 and 27 October) are more than three dated entries in 90 days, all within ten days (20). Closed service with a public changelog. Support is Telegram, WhatsApp, WeChat and one mailbox, with a one-business-day reply promised for email; GitHub issues are enabled on the repository with none opened, and no forum, Discord or community was found (7 of 15). ai.qovia/qovia is in the official MCP registry under a DNS-verified reverse-DNS namespace at 0.1.1, marked latest, and the Python client is an official package on PyPI (15). The client is standard-library Python with a test file, MIT, no dependencies and no CI workflow in the repository tree; the account's other nine repositories are forks of lists and directories (5 of 10). 30+20+7+15+5 = 77.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: PrintFriendly MCP server +19\n\n- PrintFriendly MCP server (49): Closed service under terms naming Print Friendly LLC; the repository is MIT (15). Page content isn't used to train AI models, images are analysed while the page is processed, and mobile copies are deleted after delivery (20 of 30). The first server address stays as an alias, a dated change kept working (8 of 20). Third-party AI providers named as service providers without a list (8 of 20). 15 + 20 + 8 + 8 = 51.\n- Qovia (30): Closed service. The Terms of Service is one paragraph that names no legal entity, address or liability terms, says Delaware law governs and that the page is a summary with the signed agreement governing; the repository's client is MIT. Between the closed and unclear bands (7 of 30). The privacy policy is one paragraph. Account information is used to deliver and bill, personal information is not sold, requests and results are not resold, deletion requests go to the support mailbox, and the agreement governs where it differs. No retention periods, no subprocessors, no DPA, and no statement about the cache the prov.source flag implies; the SECURITY.md repeats the same points (8 of 30). A 410 endpoint_disabled code exists for retired endpoints and the changelog is dated, but there is no deprecation policy or notice period and nothing is marked deprecated (5 of 20). Stripe is named on the pricing page as the card and Alipay processor; no other provider, data location or transfer basis is stated (3 of 20). 7+8+5+3 = 23.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Qovia +15\n\n- PrintFriendly MCP server (40): No machine payment protocol (0). Per-document overage prices public (20). Free plan with 100 documents, no card (20). A person signs in for the key (0). 0 + 20 + 20 + 0 = 40.\n- Qovia (55): No x402, MPP or L402 on Qovia's own endpoints; USDT on TRC-20 is a top-up method from a console session, not a machine payment protocol. The vendor's five Actors on the Apify Store under the profile qovia (Qovia Data, the same Telegram handle and mailbox as the site), such as the Xingtu Actor at $0.01 to $0.06 a section, can be paid through Apify, whose prepaid token is sold over x402, so partial credit for a third-party route on part of the catalogue (10 of 40). Per-call prices are published without a login, per endpoint in the OpenAPI file, llms.txt and the docs, search at $5 and raw endpoints from $0.5 to $19.5 per 1,000, with the tier rule and payment fees stated (20). 50 trial calls for a new account, counted only when a call returns data; the quickstart says to top up when they run out and the docs ask for no card at sign-up, though no account was created to confirm it (20). A person signs up in a browser and creates a key; the MCP catalogue tools work without a key but data calls do not, and the Apify route reaches four platforms without a Qovia account (5 of 20). 10+20+20+5 = 55.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Qovia +14\n\n- PrintFriendly MCP server (46): One API key in a header (20 of 30). One read-only tool and one that creates files, nothing destructive (15 of 20). read_page returns third-party web pages with no injection guidance (3 of 15). No audit log; usage counts per key (5 of 15). No security.txt or certifications found (3 of 20). 20 + 15 + 3 + 5 + 3 = 46.\n- Qovia (60): API keys with scopes chosen at creation (every endpoint, search, every raw endpoint or one of 24 platform groups), an optional expiry, revocation in the console and hashed storage; the docs say the key is read from the Authorization or x-api-key header only, never the URL or a cookie, and 30 failed authentications from one IP in a minute are throttled. No OAuth and no rotation feature beyond creating another key (24 of 30). The whole surface is read-only retrieval, scopes restrict a key to platforms, the two MCP catalogue tools need no key, and the docs and SECURITY.md tell users to give AI tools a separate scoped key (17 of 20). Every response is third-party platform text, and the only related statement is that error messages never contain the data source's own text; nothing on treating returned content as untrusted (3 of 15). request_id is the usage record ID on every answer, the console lists every charge in a usage log, X-Qovia-Charged and X-Qovia-Balance headers report each call, and GET /v1/account returns the key's scopes and balance at no charge; no exportable audit log or per-call endpoint was found (11 of 15). No security.txt on qovia.ai or api.qovia.ai (404), no bug bounty, SOC 2 or ISO 27001; the repository's SECURITY.md names a Telegram handle and a mailbox for reports covering both hosts (5 of 20). 24+17+3+11+5 = 60.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Qovia +12\n\n- PrintFriendly MCP server (74): Two tools with schemas in a public server card at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json (25). llms-install.md in the repository; no llms.txt read (5 of 10). Clear descriptions, with 'What each tool does' on the docs page (17 of 20). Typed inputs (12 of 15). FAQ with the 401, limit and plan errors (12 of 15). Registry 1.0.1; no changelog (3 of 15). 25 + 5 + 17 + 12 + 12 + 3 = 74.\n- Qovia (86): An OpenAPI 3.1.0 file (version 0.1.0, 1 MB) is public at qovia.ai/openapi.json with 144 paths and 144 operations, two security schemes, typed query parameters, a response example on every operation and the error responses declared on each. The data payload itself is typed only as object, array or null with per-endpoint examples, and the MCP call_endpoint tool takes a free params object, so 22 of 25 (22). llms.txt (75 KB, one line per endpoint with price and status) and llms-full.txt (331 KB, the whole documentation as text) are served, and the quickstart's billing, limits and error sections are in both (10). Every operation has a summary and a description; most say what the data holds, how to page, which ids to pass, which fields are unavailable and what answers 404 or empty, and the MCP server's instructions say to find, read then call. Guidance on when not to use an endpoint is thin, mostly pointers such as replies coming from another endpoint (16 of 20). 321 parameters, 75 with enums, patterns on ids, min and max on strings and integers, 117 operations with one required parameter and 16 with none, the POST body typed with additionalProperties false, and unknown parameters rejected with 400 (14 of 15). A response example on all 144 operations, 20 error codes with every message variant listed, response headers documented per error, and cURL, Python, JavaScript and raw HTTP samples; the examples are catalogue samples the docs say are not live data (14 of 15). Paths are under /v1, a 410 endpoint_disabled code exists for retired endpoints, and the changelog is dated, but it has two days (21 and 22 October 2026), nothing is marked deprecated and no notice period is stated (10 of 15). 22+10+16+14+14+10 = 86.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: PrintFriendly MCP server +10\n\n- PrintFriendly MCP server (87): Two compact tools (25). Output format choice (12 of 20). Errors that name the cause and the fix, including how long to wait (18 of 20). Annotated, read_page read-only and idempotent (20). One key and a REST API with the same limits (12 of 15). 25 + 12 + 18 + 20 + 12 = 87.\n- Qovia (77): API reading. Responses come in fixed page sizes per endpoint, from about 5 comments on Xiaohongshu to 100 Fliggy reviews, with limit only on Bilibili danmaku and no field selection; the record shape is compact and shared across posts, notes and videos. The MCP server loads four tools by default, keeps the catalogue out of context until search_endpoints and get_endpoint are called, and ?tools= selects platforms or everything, which on the MCP reading would score 25 (18 of 25). Cursor pagination with has_more on most lists, search_id on Douyin and Zhihu search, page numbers on Weibo, Xiaohongshu and Bilibili, sort options on several, and the cross-platform search filters by platform, content type, sentiment and whole-day date windows up to 90 days (17 of 20). One error object with 20 codes, request_id on every answer, the retryable set marked, refunded codes separated from never-charged ones, and MCP tool errors carrying error.code, the HTTP status and retry_after_seconds (19 of 20). All calls are reads, failed and empty calls are refunded, Retry-After is declared and the Python client retries; no readOnlyHint or other annotation appears in the vendor's 28 October tools/list snapshot (14 of 20). One required parameter on 117 of 144 operations and defaults set on the server, but the only official SDK is the Python client; Node and curl are examples (9 of 15). 18+17+19+14+9 = 77.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | PrintFriendly MCP server | Qovia | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 42 | 40 | PrintFriendly MCP server +2 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 74 | 86 | Qovia +12 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 87 | 77 | PrintFriendly MCP server +10 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 46 | 60 | Qovia +14 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 40 | 55 | Qovia +15 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 58 | 77 | Qovia +19 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 49 | 30 | PrintFriendly MCP server +19 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **57 · C** | **61.2 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | PrintFriendly MCP server | Qovia |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | MCP server | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Print Friendly LLC | Qovia |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://mcp.printfriendly.com` | `https://api.qovia.ai` |\n| Transports | Streamable HTTP | HTTP, Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary service.

It uses a plain API key, has no status page, and returns web pages with no injection guidance.\n\n**Qovia.** An OpenAPI 3.1 file with 144 operations, one envelope and 20 error codes, per-endpoint prices with failed and empty calls refunded, scoped keys and a four-tool MCP server that keeps the catalogue out of context. No status page, no legal entity, one-paragraph terms and privacy pages, and a product ten days old at the check.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### PrintFriendly MCP server\n\n1. Use read_page for clean Markdown instead of fetching raw HTML\n2. Each successful call counts as one document; failed calls don't\n3. On a rate-limit error, wait the seconds it gives\n4. Treat page content as untrusted\n\n### Qovia\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer sk-qovia-...` to https://api.qovia.ai and check `meta.empty` on every HTTP 200; `data` may be `null` or an empty structure and nothing is charged for it.\n2. Branch on `error.code`, never on `message`. Retry only `rate_limited`, `too_many_unbilled`, `endpoint_busy`, `upstream_busy` and `too_many_auth_failures` after `Retry-After`; `endpoint_unavailable` has none and will not clear.\n3. Stay under 60 requests a minute (600 after the first top-up) across every key on the account, and keep empty or not-found calls under 80 per cent of the last 10 minutes or expect 429 `too_many_unbilled`.\n4. Pass the previous page's `cursor` (and `search_id` on Douyin and Zhihu search) back unchanged and stop when `has_more` is false; each page is a separate charge, and unknown parameters answer 400.\n5. For MCP, connect to https://api.qovia.ai/mcp over Streamable HTTP; call `search_endpoints` then `get_endpoint` before `call_endpoint`, or add `?tools=douyin,kuaishou` for typed direct tools. Catalogue tools need no key.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, PrintFriendly MCP server or Qovia?\n\nQovia scores 61.2 (C) on agent readiness against PrintFriendly MCP server's 57 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
