## 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**: 46/100
  - 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 2 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 not yet verified: we couldn't determine whether a plaintext access path exists.
  - 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**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 612 tokens (~306/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (2)

### `ping` (~42 tokens)

Simple connectivity test. Returns a greeting to confirm the server is running.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string): Arbitrary label included in the response, e.g. 'healthcheck'

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `search_recipes` (~570 tokens)

Search a database of recipes using hybrid semantic search (dense + sparse) with reranking.

The database contains ~50,000 recipes from Food.com covering a wide
range of cuisines, meal types, and cooking styles. Recipes include
nutritional information, difficulty ratings, and user ratings.

Use natural language in the query to describe what you are looking
for — cuisine, style, main ingredient, occasion, or mood all work
well. Norwegian and English are both supported natively. Examples:
    'quick Italian pasta for weeknight dinner'
    'Swedish meatballs with gravy'
    'healthy high-protein chicken bowl'
    'easy chocolate cake for beginners'
    'something with salmon and lemon'
    'Indian curry chicken'
    'traditional Norwegian kjøttkaker'
    'hurtig pasta med kylling'
    'enkel sjokoladekake'

Args:
    query:       What you are looking for — describe the dish, cuisine,
                 main ingredient, cooking style or mood freely.
                 Any language is supported.
    diet:        Optional — filter by dietary requirement:
                     'vegetarian', 'vegan', 'gluten-free',
                     'dairy-free', 'low-carb', 'keto', 'paleo'
    max_minutes: Optional — maximum total time in minutes, e.g. 30
    difficulty:  Optional — 'easy', 'medium' or 'hard'
    servings:    Optional — not used for filtering (servings vary),
                 but include in query for scaling context,
                 e.g. 'pasta dish for 6 people'
    limit:       Number of results to return after reranking
                 (default 5, max 20)

Returns:
    List of recipes ranked by relevance. Each result includes
    rerank_score, rrf_score (hybrid fusion), title, total_time,
    difficulty, diet labels, ingredients, instructions, nutrition,
    rating, and source URL context.

Input parameters:

- `diet` (string): Optional dietary filter: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, keto, or paleo
- `difficulty` (string): Optional difficulty filter: easy, medium, or hard
- `limit` (integer): Number of results to return after reranking (1–20, default 5)
- `max_minutes` (integer): Optional maximum total cooking time in minutes, e.g. 30. Use 0 for no limit
- `query` (string, required): Natural language description of what you want, e.g. 'quick Italian pasta' or 'enkel sjokoladekake'
- `servings` (integer): Not used for filtering — include serving size context in query instead, e.g. 'pasta for 6 people'

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)
