## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 50/100
  - Malware scan not yet available for this package.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - 1 of 32 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 84/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to aa0101181514/tw-patent-mcp).
  - License check failed: the license (Elastic-2.0) isn't a recognized OSI-approved license.
  - Actively maintained (last published 14 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 60/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1382 tokens (~115/item across 12 items; 12 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 53/100
  - Stability observed for 16 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## Common questions

### What is the Taiwan Patent MCP server?

Taiwan Patent MCP is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.aa0101181514/tw-patent-mcp. Patent search via Taiwan IPO GPSS and EPO OPS: legal status, families, full text, PDFs. This page covers its PyPI package (tw-patent-mcp).

### Is the Taiwan Patent MCP server safe to use?

Taiwan Patent MCP scores 66 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Taiwan Patent MCP server expose?

Taiwan Patent MCP exposes 12 tools: gpss_codes, gpss_search, gpss_get, gpss_build_url, ops_search, and 7 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,213 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Taiwan Patent MCP server still maintained?

Taiwan Patent MCP is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Taiwan Patent MCP server under?

Taiwan Patent MCP declares the Elastic-2.0 licence, which is not on the OSI-approved list. Read the terms before using it at work, and note this covers the source only, not the cost of any service it calls.
