Nobody here has read this server's code, because it publishes none. The description above is the maker's own, from the registry. A connection test shows whether it answers and what tools it says it has; it never calls a tool, so it cannot show what one does with your data.

| Source published | held at 0 | No entry here publishes source: that is what puts it in this directory. |
| Licence stated | held at 0 | With no files, there is nothing for a licence to be stated in or held against. |
| Advisory state | held at 0 | Advisory databases index packages, and these entries publish none, so there is nothing to look up. |
| Auth declared | 0 of 15 | The registry entry declares no key. That is what it declares, not a finding that it has no protection. |

The tools it lists (4, as of 9 hours ago)
The tool-description rules found nothing in these descriptions. They look for instructions aimed at a model and for hidden characters; they cannot see what a tool does when it runs.
find_addressesStep 1. Lists the properties the council knows at a UK postcode and names the input get_collections needs (required_input). Show the user the candidates and let them choose, unless what they told you matches exactly one candidate. Rules: never guess or choose a property for the user; if their address is not in the list, say so. Use only the dates returned: never extend a pattern, move a date for a bank holiday or work out a weekday yourself (read by_date). Say when a result is provisional or is not the user's exact property. Offer opt-in evening check-ins only if your host can schedule them. A
get_collectionsStep 2. Looks up collection dates for the one property the user chose. Send the postcode and the field find_addresses named in required_input (normally property_id, from the chosen candidate). Waits up to about 45 seconds. status is done, partial (provisional dates), still_working (use check_lookup; never call this again for the same property) or failed. What goes in the containers is summarised in collections[].contents when present. If contents is null, say the council has not published contents in the evidence held; never guess from colour or name. accepted combines council labels across co
check_lookupReads a lookup that get_collections started, by its lookup_id. Waits up to about 30 seconds. Same statuses as get_collections. What goes in the containers is summarised in collections[].contents when present. If contents is null, say the council has not published contents in the evidence held; never guess from colour or name. accepted combines council labels across containers: use appearance_occurrences items for each container and condition, especially when varies_by_date is true. Rules: never guess or choose a property for the user; if their address is not in the list, say so. Use only the d
get_scheduleFor a repeat check. Reads the stored schedule for a property_id that an earlier done lookup returned. It starts no new lookup; if it reports no_schedule, run find_addresses and get_collections again. What goes in the containers is summarised in collections[].contents when present. If contents is null, say the council has not published contents in the evidence held; never guess from colour or name. accepted combines council labels across containers: use appearance_occurrences items for each container and condition, especially when varies_by_date is true.

How this entry becomes a listing
For the maker. The catalogue lists what it can read, and this server publishes nothing to read yet. There are two routes, and only the first is open today.
Publish the source Open today
- Put the server's source in a public repository on github.com, with a licence.
- Keep a server.json in that repository naming this server,
com.whenisbins/bin-collections, and declare the repository in it:"repository": { "url": "https://github.com/owner/repo", "source": "github" }, adding"subfolder"when the server lives in a folder. - Publish that version to the official MCP registry.
- The nightly registry sweep records the declaration. This page stays, dated, and says the source is declared but not yet read.
- The catalogue reads declared repositories at a pinned commit, in batches run by hand, and lists the servers that meet the batch's rules (among them a server.json at that commit naming the server, an https endpoint and a licence). When it lists this server, this page links to the listing. There is no schedule, so no date can be promised.
