Tooling: verification/probe MCP (one-shot serve-path + asset verdict) #2267

Description

@jung-thomas

Problem

Verification is done via multi-step manual round-trips (curl -I → read X-Content-Source, grep both minified+unminified, probe serve path, Playwright when curl is blocked). Each round-trip pulls output into context and costs tokens; the pattern is well-documented in agent memory but re-derived each time.

Proposal

A verification/probe MCP that takes a slug or URL and returns the compact verdict the agent would otherwise assemble by hand:

  • serve-path probe (X-Content-Source: db-current vs db, HTTP status, redirects)
  • deployed asset check (grep both minified and unminified forms)
  • optional Playwright fallback for Akamai-blocked / non-browser-UA paths (Akamai 403s node/axios/Claude-Code UAs)
  • returns { ok, source, status, notes }

Impact

Removes repeated manual curl+grep sequences during "test X in DEV" / "is the fix live" checks.
