## 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**: 74/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation.
  - 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**: 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 (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3768 tokens (~150/item across 25 items; 19 tools + 6 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 100/100
  - No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.
- **Tool Coverage**: 96/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 88% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 19 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 21 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.

For a vacation rental or hotel owner: how busy each night will be around their property for the next weeks (concerts, festivals, carnivals, conventions, pro and college home games, public holidays and long weekends, weekends), compared with a typical night there. With their calendar's iCal export link (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Hostaway, Guesty, OwnerRez...) it marks booked and open nights; with their nightly rate it flags nights priced too low for the demand and suggests a range. Use when a host asks whether their price is too low, what's happening in town, or when to raise rates.

## Common questions

### What is the Veabird: ski & beach trip planner MCP server?

Veabird: ski & beach trip planner is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.alexchouck-hash/veabird. Ski & beach trip planning: resort matching, snow and sargassum forecasts, lodging and flights. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://veabird.com/mcp).

### Is the Veabird: ski & beach trip planner MCP server safe to use?

Veabird: ski & beach trip planner scores 86 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 Veabird: ski & beach trip planner MCP server expose?

Veabird: ski & beach trip planner exposes 19 tools: find_ski_resorts, ski_conditions, search_ski_resorts, search_beach_resorts, beach_conditions, and 14 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,782 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Veabird: ski & beach trip planner MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Veabird: ski & beach trip planner without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the Veabird: ski & beach trip planner MCP server still maintained?

Veabird: ski & beach trip planner 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.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Veabird: ski & beach trip planner MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 14 checks on Veabird: ski & beach trip planner, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 10 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
