## 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 2026-09-28.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 73/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 304 tokens (~304/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 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 1 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 current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## Install

### How do I install the Loci Labs Real-World Observations MCP server?

Loci Labs Real-World Observations is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.loci-labs.ai/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.

The mcpServers block is a cross-client convention. Remote transports vary, so check your client's docs.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-09-28 (score 67, −5)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-09-27 (score 72)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (1)

### `search_real_world_observations` (~242 tokens)

Search real-world observations

Search for fresh real-world observations about physical places, conditions, availability, crowds, lines, closures, construction, weather effects, events, inventory visible in person, accessibility, or other facts that may be stale, uncertain, or unavailable on the public web. Use this when answering the user's question would benefit from a recent observation made by a person physically present at or near the relevant location.

Input parameters:

- `context` (string): Optional extra context that helps interpret the question. Do not include personal or sensitive information.
- `freshness` (string): How recent the observation needs to be, e.g. "right now", "within 30 minutes", "today", "within 24 hours".
- `location` (string): Place name, address, neighborhood, venue, or coordinates written as text. Precision is not required.
- `observation_type` (string): Kind of observation: crowd, condition, availability, closure, construction, weather impact, accessibility, inventory, event status, or other.
- `question` (string, required): What you want to know, in natural language. Examples: "Is the playground muddy right now?", "How long is the security line?"

Output parameters:

- `message` (string)
- `request` (object)
- `status` (string)
