## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 71/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 893 tokens (~223/item across 4 items; 3 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 37/100
  - Stability observed for 11 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **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.
  - 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 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.
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

## Install

### How do I install the INITE Directory MCP server?

INITE Directory is a hosted endpoint at https://inite.ai/api/mcp/directory, 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)

### `find_business` (~323 tokens)

Find a business by what it does and where

Businesses that confirmed their own facts at INITE and proved their domain, found by what they do and where, in English, Russian, Portuguese or Spanish ("a dentist in Lisbon", "кафе в Москве"). Each answer gives the name, what it does in its own words, its city, its first services with prices as confirmed, its site, and its company facts server (MCP and A2A) for hours, every service and questions, or to send it a request. For which AI tool or app to use, call match_tools or atlas_lookup on the INITE Atlas, not this. Ordered by how well the words match and how complete the confirmed facts are; no business can pay for a place. Free, no account.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): Only businesses with a location in this city, in any spelling ("Lisboa", "Lisbon")
- `country` (string): Only businesses with a location in this country: a name in any of the four languages, or its two-letter code
- `language` (string): A language the business serves in, as a code ("pt") or a name; businesses that name none come after the rest
- `limit` (integer): How many to return, default 5
- `offset` (integer): The nextOffset of the previous answer
- `query` (string): What the business is or does, or what the person wants from it, e.g. "dentist", "wedding photographer", "corte de cabelo masculino". A place in it counts too.

Output parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `matched` (integer)
- `matching` (integer)
- `nextOffset` (integer|null)
- `offset` (integer)

- `totalIsAtLeast` (boolean)

### `business` (~162 tokens)

One business, by slug or domain

One business that confirmed its facts at INITE, by its INITE slug (the name before .inite.ai) or its domain: what it does, how to reach it, its services with prices as confirmed, hours and whether it is open now, its locations, its company facts server (MCP and A2A) and whether it takes contact or booking requests from agents there. For which AI tool or app to use, call match_tools or atlas_lookup on the INITE Atlas, not this. Free, no account.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string): The business's own domain, e.g. "acme.com"
- `slug` (string): The business's slug at INITE, e.g. "acme" for acme.inite.ai

Output parameters:

- `atlas` (object|null)
- `found` (boolean)
- `name` (string)
- `servers` (object|null)
- `servicesTotal` (integer)
- `slug` (string)
- `takesRequests` (object)

### `inite_connect` (~115 tokens)

Connect another INITE server

How to add another INITE MCP server to this client, when the person wants something this one does not do. With no argument, the server beside this one; `for`, the one that does a job; `all: true`, every server. Returns the URL, the Claude Code command and the custom-connector step.

Input parameters:

- `all` (boolean): true: every server, with install links. Ignored with `for`.
- `for` (string): What the person wants next; returns the server that does it

Output parameters:

- `doors` (array)
- `more` (object)
- `others` (array)

### Is the INITE Directory MCP server safe to use?

INITE Directory scores 78 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. 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 INITE Directory MCP server expose?

INITE Directory exposes 3 tools: find_business, business, inite_connect. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 600 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the INITE Directory MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to INITE Directory without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the INITE Directory MCP server still maintained?

INITE Directory 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.
