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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 847 tokens (~141/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management47
- Stability observed for 14 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
check_stack Check a set of supplements ~139
Adds up each ingredient across several products taken together (up to 12) and compares each daily total with the adult upper limit of the country, with the same rules engine as the Verateca site. For every ingredient: total per day, applicable limit, share of the limit, status ("within the upper limit", "over the upper limit", "no upper limit set" or "not compared"), the products that contribute, and duplicates across products. Limits of other countries follow. Interactions with medicines are not checked.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | The United States is the only market currently available. |
| items | array | yes | Products taken together. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
compare_products Compare products ~135
Puts 2 to 6 published products side by side: daily dose, rounded daily price plus verified exact pack basis where available, and for each ingredient the daily amount, effective comparison denominator and percentage. Canonical reference maxima can differ from the effective denominator when age is unknown.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | The United States is the only market currently available. |
| ids | array | yes | Product ids, e.g. ["US:302778", "US:217710"]. |
| period_days | integer | – | Optional days of consumption, calculated from verified pack and daily-use basis. This is not a whole-pack checkout price. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_ingredient Get ingredient ~121
Returns one substance of the register: its forms with the share of the element where known, the upper limit of the country first, then the limits of other countries with type, source and the date checked, reference sources, and the number of published products that contain it.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | The United States is the only market currently available. |
| id | string | – | Substance id, e.g. "magnesium", "vit_d". |
| name | string | – | Substance name, e.g. "Vitamin D", as an alternative to id. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_product Get product ~161
Returns one published product record: source-recorded composition with printed-disclosure verification status, daily amounts, a cohesive comparison with effective denominator, age policy, scope and percentage, and separate reference limits of other countries, the status in the country, prices per day where published, and the dates of each part.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | The United States is the only market currently available. |
| id | string | – | Verateca product id, e.g. "US:302778", as returned by search_products. |
| period_days | integer | – | Optional days of consumption, calculated from verified pack and daily-use basis. This is not a whole-pack checkout price. |
| url | string | – | Verateca product page address, as an alternative to id. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_selection_link Get the order page address ~167
Returns the address of the Verateca order page for one of its three paid services (quick, full, review), with the price and currency the site shows for the country and a one-line description. The tool takes no payment and creates no order; the order page asks its own questions and takes payment there.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | The United States is the only market currently available. |
| goals | array | – | Optional goals to preselect on the order page (quick: 1, full: up to 3; ignored for review). They travel sealed, not in plain words. |
| service | string | yes | quick: up to three products for one goal; full: one set for up to three goals; review: a written review by a Verateca specialist. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_products Search products ~124
Searches the Verateca register of dietary supplements by product name, brand, ingredient or barcode. Returns up to 10 published products with id, brand, form, page address, lowest price per day where prices are published, number of offers and the date the record was checked. Results are ordered by match, never by payment.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | The United States is the only market currently available. |
| limit | integer | – | Number of results, 1–10. |
| query | string | yes | Product name, brand, ingredient or barcode (UPC/EAN). |
No output schema declared.

How do I install the Verateca MCP server?
Verateca is a hosted endpoint at https://verateca.com/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.
