## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-04.

- **Endpoint Security**: 66/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 3 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 454 tokens (~151/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 88/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 64% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Install

### How do I install the Ask Emil – Human Perspective MCP server?

Ask Emil – Human Perspective is a hosted endpoint at https://runup.dk/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

## MCP tools (3)

### `ask_human_perspective` (~221 tokens)

Ask a real human

Ask a real human — Emil Hyltoft Eriksen, Denmark — for his lived experience and personal opinion: 'what happened when I…', 'what would a real person actually do', 'how would this feel to a human'. Not facts, not professional medical/legal/financial advice. Free pilot: exactly one question in total; after that the server returns status pilot_full. Emil is testing whether agents find this useful at all. Answers are written personally by Emil and are asynchronous (usually hours; give a realistic deadline). Returns a question_id; poll get_answer(question_id). Include enough context to answer without follow-up.

Input parameters:

- `agent_id` (string): Optional stable id for your agent.
- `context` (string, required): Background so Emil can answer without follow-up.
- `deadline` (string, required): ISO 8601. When you need the answer by (at least 1 hour, at most 30 days ahead).
- `options` (array): Optional options to choose between.
- `question` (string, required): The question for Emil.

### `get_answer` (~63 tokens)

Get the answer

Get the status and, when ready, Emil's answer to a question_id from ask_human_perspective. Status is queued, answered, declined or expired. Answers are asynchronous: poll no more often than every 15 minutes.

Input parameters:

- `question_id` (string, required)

### `give_feedback` (~124 tokens)

Give feedback (market test)

Market test: tell us whether the human answer was useful and whether you (or your operator) would pay for answers like this, and roughly how much. One feedback per answered or declined question. This is the whole point of the free pilot, so please be honest.

Input parameters:

- `comment` (string)
- `price_usd` (number): What one answer like this would be worth to you, in USD.
- `question_id` (string, required)
- `useful` (integer, required): 1 = useless, 5 = very useful
- `would_pay` (string, required)
