## 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**: 23/100
  - No malware scan is available for this kind of package: the supply-chain vendors we use do not cover it. This is a permanent gap in our coverage, not a finding about the package.
  - Known CVEs were checked across the 93 of 93 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - 30 of 93 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 4 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 946 tokens (~135/item across 7 items; 7 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**: 94/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 82% 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 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 8 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.

## Install

### How do I install the Google Keyword Planner MCP server?

Google Keyword Planner ships as an MCPB bundle, a single file you download and open in an MCP host that supports MCPB bundles, such as Claude Desktop. The host reads the launch command from the bundle's own manifest, so there is no command to copy. Before opening it, check the file's SHA-256 matches the one the MCP registry declares for it, 4c0352811cf57e54aaefaffa07120a7873f6dff6a6e4ff67cb8d368409e983a0; the commands to do that are on this page. If it does not match, do not open it.

## Common questions

### What is the Google Keyword Planner MCP server?

Google Keyword Planner is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.afeezadebayo/google-keyword-planner. Keyword ideas, search volumes, CPC ranges, trends and forecasts from Google Ads Keyword Planner. This page covers its MCPB bundle (https://github.com/afeezadebayo/google-keyword-planner-mcp/releases/download/v1.1.0/google-keyword-planner.mcpb).

### Is the Google Keyword Planner MCP server safe to use?

Google Keyword Planner scores 45 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. 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 Google Keyword Planner MCP server expose?

Google Keyword Planner exposes 7 tools: generate_keyword_ideas, get_search_volume, forecast_keywords, find_locations, list_languages, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 877 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### What licence is the Google Keyword Planner MCP server under?

Google Keyword Planner declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Google Keyword Planner MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 14 checks on Google Keyword Planner, covering Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health, Source repository and 10 more. 2 items could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about Google Keyword Planner: Malware scan and Stability. One category scores 0 for that reason, because we only credit what we can confirm. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an MCPB bundle, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
