## 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 2026-09-24.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - 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 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**: 86/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 262 tokens (~131/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 87/100
  - Stability observed for 26 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 2 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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (2)

### `find_trending` (~135 tokens)

What news is ACCELERATING right now — a ranked list of story-events climbing in attention, optionally scoped to a beat/topic. Each returns trend, momentum, acceleration, outlet count, a runway hint (act now vs window closing), why-now, and a link. Use to decide what to ride/publish/watch. ~2h behind live, ~296 mainstream sources, signals + links only.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max results (default 8).
- `topic` (string): Beat or keyword to scope to, e.g. "technology", "crypto", "nvidia". Omit for all beats.

### `whats_changed` (~127 tokens)

The DELTA on an entity — what is new or has shifted in news coverage of a company/person/topic since a given time. Returns new vs updated story-events, trend, importance, and links. This is the stateful "what changed since my last check" that stateless search tools cannot answer. ~296 mainstream sources, signals + links only.

Input parameters:

- `entity` (string, required): Company, person, or topic, e.g. "Nvidia", "OpenAI", "Donald Trump".
- `since` (string): ISO timestamp of your last check. Default: 7 days ago.
