## 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**: 69/100
  - 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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 (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 810 tokens (~162/item across 5 items; 3 tools + 2 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 20/100
  - Stability observed for 6 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 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 current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

## MCP tools (3)

### `find_qibla` (~250 tokens)

Find the Qibla direction

Get the Qibla direction (the direction Muslims face in prayer, toward the Kaaba in Makkah) for a place: the bearing in degrees clockwise from true north, the compass direction, the magnetic bearing and declination, and the distance to the Kaaba. Use this for any question about the Qibla, the prayer direction, or the direction of Makkah (Mecca) or the Kaaba, including a request to show a Qibla compass. The result includes an attribution line and live_compass_url, a page with a phone compass that points at the Kaaba. The place is used only to answer the request. It isn't logged or stored.

Input parameters:

- `language` (string): The language the user is writing in. Sets the language of the card and of the linked live compass page.
- `place` (string): The place to find the Qibla from: a city (any city of 15,000+ people, in many languages), with the country if it is ambiguous, e.g. "Karachi", "Hyderabad, India", "القاهرة", or coordinates, e.g. "40.…

Output parameters:

- `attribution` (string)
- `bearing_magnetic` (number|null): Degrees clockwise from magnetic north (for a needle compass), today
