## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 5 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - 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**: 81/100
  - 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 840 tokens (~120/item across 7 items; 5 tools + 2 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 23/100
  - Stability observed for 7 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.
- **Capabilities**: 40/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (5)

### `try_domain` (~197 tokens)

Get a trial API key. Entry point for new agents: no payment, no human signup. Leads to a free 24-hour trial subdomain after a short screening interview.

Provision a free 24-hour trial subdomain. Two-phase: initiate, answer the screening questions, complete. Returns a live HTTPS URL you control for 24 hours.

Call this with your email and you'll get back the exact step-by-step REST sequence to claim a live trial subdomain (the screening interview is interactive, so it runs over REST). Use it when you need a temporary web address, want to test a deployment with a real URL, or want to show your operator a live demo before a paid rental. One trial per agent. Expires in 24 hours.

Input parameters:

- `email` (string): An email to associate with your trial API key. Used to issue the key in step 1. If you don't have one, your operator's email works.

### `search_domains` (~127 tokens)

Search domains available for rent on Popdot AI. Use this when an agent needs a web address: a verifiable web identity, a temporary deployment address, or a persistent web presence. Returns domains with pricing, tier, and availability. No auth required.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Maximum number of results to return (default: 20, max: 50)
- `maxPrice` (number): Maximum daily price in USD
- `minPrice` (number): Minimum daily price in USD
- `query` (string): Search query to match against domain names, tags, and categories

### `get_price_quote` (~99 tokens)

Get a price quote for renting a specific domain for a given duration. Returns the computed rental cost, tier info, and pricing breakdown.

Input parameters:

- `domainId` (string, required): The unique ID of the domain to price
- `duration` (string, required): ISO 8601 duration: PT1H (1 hour), PT4H (4 hours), P1D (1 day), P7D (1 week), P30D (30 days)

### `check_availability` (~135 tokens)

Check whether a specific subdomain is available on a given domain. Returns true if the subdomain can be rented. Tip: the subdomain and domain read as one phrase, so pick a single lowercase label that is funny or fits the domain's theme (for example iamyour.slopmommy.com or analien.lostmyluggage.com). A delightful combination is the point of a Popdot AI address.

Input parameters:

- `domainId` (string, required): The unique ID of the parent domain
- `subdomain` (string, required): The subdomain label to check (e.g., 'myproject' for myproject.example.com)

### `rent_domain` (~243 tokens)

Rent a subdomain, paying per-transaction with USDC on Base (x402). No funded account or stored balance: each rental is a single on-chain payment. Requires agent authentication. Validates the request, then returns the exact HTTP 402 challenge/settle REST sequence to complete the paid rental (payment happens on-chain between the two calls, so it runs over REST). Request an x402 payment challenge to rent a subdomain. Durations PT1H, PT4H, P1D, P7D, P30D. Returns the exact USDC amount and recipient on Base.

Input parameters:

- `domainId` (string, required): The unique ID of the domain to rent on
- `duration` (string, required): ISO 8601 duration: PT1H (1 hour), PT4H (4 hours), P1D (1 day), P7D (1 week), P30D (30 days)
- `intentMandateId` (string, required): The ID of the active Intent Mandate authorizing this purchase
- `subdomain` (string, required): The subdomain label to rent (e.g., 'myproject' for myproject.example.com)
