## 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)

  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 828 tokens (~414/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% 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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

### `check_fbc_code` (~490 tokens)

Statically check HTML or JavaScript that reads `fbclid` from the URL and writes Meta's `_fbc` click ID cookie (and optionally `_fbp`). It catches the mistakes that make Meta Events Manager report a modified fbclid or attribute a conversion to the wrong ad: keeping an old click ID when a visitor arrives from a new ad, decoding, re-casing or truncating the click ID, writing creationTime in seconds instead of milliseconds, and hard-coding subdomainIndex. Rules: FBC-01: A new fbclid must overwrite an older _fbc cookie. FBC-02: Do not URL-decode fbclid a second time. FBC-03: Do not change the case of fbclid. FBC-04: Do not truncate fbclid. FBC-05: _fbc creationTime must be in milliseconds. FBC-06: Check that a hard-coded subdomainIndex matches the cookie domain. FBP-01: _fbp creationTime must be in milliseconds. Returns JSON with `status` ("pass", "fail", "unknown" or "not_applicable"), `failed`, `unknown` and `warnings` (rule IDs), and `rules` (one entry per rule with status "pass", "fail", "unknown" or "warn", evidence, what it protects against, severity, and a link to Meta's documentation). "unknown" means no rule failed but at least one could not decide, for example FBC-01 when it cannot tell which variable holds the fbclid from the URL. "not_applicable" means no `_fbc` appeared in the content, so nothing was judged. Neither is a pass. "warn" comes from a warning-level rule (FBC-06) and never changes the overall status. This is static analysis of source text, not execution: minified, bundled or obfuscated code can hide a mistake, so a pass is not proof of correctness.

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): HTML or JavaScript source to check. Include every file that touches fbclid, _fbc or _fbp, concatenated.
- `kind` (string): How to read `code`. "html": analyse the inline <script> bodies. "js": analyse it as JavaScript. "auto": HTML if it starts with "<", JavaScript otherwise.

### `check_fbc_url` (~338 tokens)

Fetch a landing page and run the same checks as check_fbc_code on its HTML plus every same-origin <script src> it loads, so tracking code kept in an external file is included. Cross-origin scripts (tag managers, the Meta Pixel, analytics SDKs) are never fetched and are listed under skipped_scripts. Limits: 30 s timeout per request, at most 20 scripts, 2 MB per file. Uses a mobile Safari user agent. Only public hosts are fetched: URLs that resolve to loopback, private, link-local or other internal addresses are refused, on every redirect hop too (start the server with FBC_GUARD_ALLOW_PRIVATE=1 to check local pages). Returns JSON with `status` ("pass", "fail", "unknown" or "not_applicable"), `failed`, `unknown` and `warnings` (rule IDs), and `rules` (one entry per rule with status "pass", "fail", "unknown" or "warn", evidence, what it protects against, severity, and a link to Meta's documentation). "unknown" means no rule failed but at least one could not decide, for example FBC-01 when it cannot tell which variable holds the fbclid from the URL. "not_applicable" means no `_fbc` appeared in the content, so nothing was judged. Neither is a pass. "warn" comes from a warning-level rule (FBC-06) and never changes the overall status. Also returns final_url (after redirects), scanned_scripts and skipped_scripts.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): http or https URL of the landing page.

## Common questions

### What is the io.github.adsandcode/fbc-guard MCP server?

io.github.adsandcode/fbc-guard is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.adsandcode/fbc-guard. Static checks for Meta _fbc, _fbp and fbclid code that cause modified click ID warnings. This page covers its npm package (mcp-server-fbc-guard).

### Is the io.github.adsandcode/fbc-guard MCP server safe to use?

io.github.adsandcode/fbc-guard scores 63 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 io.github.adsandcode/fbc-guard MCP server expose?

io.github.adsandcode/fbc-guard exposes 2 tools: check_fbc_code, check_fbc_url. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 828 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the io.github.adsandcode/fbc-guard MCP server still maintained?

io.github.adsandcode/fbc-guard 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 io.github.adsandcode/fbc-guard MCP server under?

io.github.adsandcode/fbc-guard declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
