What the official claim actually rests on: a vendor capability page and a Microsoft-certified connector, neither of which is a repo or a callable endpoint. The finder searched GitHub (\"Responsive mcp\" and \"RFPIO mcp\", owners responsive-io, responsiveio and rfpio), npm, PyPI and the official registry and probed https://mcp.responsive.io/ and /mcp with no result. A human should decide whether official survives law 1.",
