## 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**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 59/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 768 tokens (~192/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 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**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% 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 4 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.

## MCP tools (4)

### `search_jobs` (~394 tokens)

Search jobs

Search public active Rocketlist jobs. Returns bounded, non-personal job data only.

All list arguments are arrays of strings; passing a bare string is a validation error.

Filters:
\- query: free-text over job title, company, location and category. Matched as prefix tokens, so 'engineer' also matches 'Engineering'.
\- skills: matched against the job's listed tech stack.
\- domain: exact company industry/vertical, e.g. ['Fintech'].
\- city: substring of the job's city or country.
\- remote_only: keep only remote roles.
\- investor: companies backed by these investors, e.g. ['Index Ventures']. Common aliases resolve ('a16z' finds Andreessen Horowitz). Populated for about 83% of hiring companies, so a company with no recorded investors is never returned when this is set.
\- stage: exact company funding stage from ['Pre-Seed', 'Seed', 'Series A', 'Series B', 'Series C', 'Series D', 'Series D+', 'Series E', 'Series F', 'Series G', 'Growth', 'Public', 'Acquired', 'Bootstrapped'], case-insensitive. About 12% of hiring companies have no stage recorded and are excluded when this is set.
\- min_experience_years / max_experience_years: bounds on the years of experience the role requires at minimum. max_experience_years=5 means 'requires 5 years or fewer'. Only about 56% of jobs state a requirement; the rest are excluded when either bound is set.

Input parameters:

- `city`
- `domain`
- `investor`
- `limit` (integer)
- `max_experience_years`
- `min_experience_years`
- `query` (string)
- `remote_only` (boolean)
- `skills`
- `stage`

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `get_job` (~30 tokens)

Get job details

Get public details for one active Rocketlist job by slug or UUID.

Input parameters:

- `job_id` (string, required)

### `search_companies` (~301 tokens)

Search hiring companies

Search public Rocketlist hiring companies. Returns bounded, non-personal company data only.

Only companies with at least one active job are returned, matching the company list on rocketlist.ai.

All list arguments are arrays of strings; passing a bare string is a validation error.

Filters:
\- query: substring of the company name or slug, or a whole sector word matching the company's industry, vertical or subvertical. 'fintech' finds companies whose industry is FinTech; 'acme' finds Acme Robotics by name. Sector matching is by whole word, so 'ai' matches the AI & ML vertical and not Blockchain.
\- investor: companies backed by these investors, e.g. ['Index Ventures']. Common aliases resolve ('a16z' finds Andreessen Horowitz). Populated for about 83% of hiring companies, so a company with no recorded investors is never returned when this is set.
\- stage: exact company funding stage from ['Pre-Seed', 'Seed', 'Series A', 'Series B', 'Series C', 'Series D', 'Series D+', 'Series E', 'Series F', 'Series G', 'Growth', 'Public', 'Acquired', 'Bootstrapped'], case-insensitive. About 12% of hiring companies have no stage recorded and are excluded when this is set.

Input parameters:

- `investor`
- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string)
- `stage`

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `get_company` (~30 tokens)

Get company details

Get public details and recent active jobs for one hiring company by UUID.

Input parameters:

- `company_id` (string, required)

## Common questions

### What is the RocketList MCP server?

RocketList is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as ai.rocketlist/rocketlist. Search current startup jobs and hiring companies through RocketList's public read-only data. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://rocketlist.ai/mcp).

### Is the RocketList MCP server safe to use?

RocketList scores 69 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 RocketList MCP server expose?

RocketList exposes 4 tools: search_jobs, get_job, search_companies, get_company. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 755 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the RocketList MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the RocketList MCP server still maintained?

RocketList is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 28 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
