What your AI can do with Tipping Rules
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “search_countries”: Search Tipping Rules destinations by name or region. Returns matching countries with status and canonical country page URLs.”
“Use “get_tipping_rules”: Get concise tipping guidance for a country: status, summary, key service recommendations, last reviewed date, and the canonical country URL.”
“Use “calculate_tip”: Calculate a suggested tip and total for a bill using Tipping Rules country norms (percent or round-up). Returns amounts plus canonical count.”
How secure is the Tipping Rules MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Tipping Rules holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Tipping Rules (tippingrules.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Tipping Rules adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps
