## 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 2026-09-25.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - 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 6 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.
  - 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**: 73/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 732 tokens (~122/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 63/100
  - Stability observed for 19 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 87/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 61% 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 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 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 (6)

### `list_backgrounds` (~106 tokens)

List backgrounds

Browse the catalog of background structures. Optionally filter by a free-text query, tag or mood word. Returns name, one-line summary, mood, use cases and a preview URL for each.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `mood` (string): A mood word, e.g. dark, playful, minimal, retro.
- `query` (string): Free text, e.g. "calm waves" or "geometric poster".
- `tag` (string)

### `suggest_backgrounds` (~62 tokens)

Suggest backgrounds for a brief

Rank structures for a natural-language brief ("dark aurora glow for an AI landing page"). Returns why each matched, matching built-in palettes, and a ready-to-run example request for generate_background.

Input parameters:

- `brief` (string, required)
- `limit` (integer)

### `describe_background` (~97 tokens)

Describe a background

Full style card for one structure: what it looks like, mood, where text can go, tips, and every parameter it honours with ranges, defaults and the visual effect of low/high values. Also returns the JSON Schema for a generate request.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): markdown (default) is best for reading; json includes the JSON Schema.
- `name` (string, required): Structure name from list_backgrounds, e.g. "wave".

### `list_palettes` (~66 tokens)

List palettes

Built-in curated colour palettes with their hex colours and derived mood tags (dark, pastel, vivid, warm, cool…). Pass the id as palette.palette to generate_background.

Input parameters:

- `mood` (string): Filter by a mood tag, e.g. "dark" or "pastel".

### `list_brand_kits` (~38 tokens)

List brand kits

Saved brand palettes on this account. Pass a kit's slug as `brand` to generate_background to render on-brand without repeating hex colours.

### `generate_background` (~233 tokens)

Generate a background

Render a background as SVG or PNG. Deterministic: the same structure, options and seed always give the same image, so store the returned seed. Returns a permanent, cacheable image URL you can use directly in <img>/CSS, plus an inline PNG preview. Call describe_background first to learn which shape options the structure honours.

Input parameters:

- `brand` (string): Slug of a saved brand kit (see list_brand_kits); its colours become the palette baseline.
- `format` (string): png (default) returns a viewable image; svg returns the vector source.
- `height` (integer)
- `palette` (object)
- `pngWidth` (integer): Raster width for PNG output/preview. Defaults to the render width, capped for inline previews.
- `seed` (string): Any string. Omit for a fresh random seed (returned in the result).
- `shape` (object): Structure-specific options; call describe_background for the exact keys, ranges and what they do.
- `structure` (string, required): Structure name, e.g. "wave".
- `width` (integer)
