## 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 2026-08-09.

- **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 7 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**: 60/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 800 tokens (~114/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 67/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-09 (score 52)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (7)

### `search_corpus` (~107 tokens)

Semantic search across fojin's Buddhist corpus (10K+ texts, 30+ langs).

    Returns the most relevant passages, each with a `urn`, title, snippet and
    similarity score. `lang` optionally filters by language code
    (lzh=Classical Chinese, pi=Pali, sa=Sanskrit, bo=Tibetan, en=English).

Input parameters:

- `lang`
- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required)

### `read_passage` (~82 tokens)

Read the full content of one fascicle (卷) of a text, with its `urn`.

    Use the `text_id`/`juan_num` from a search_corpus hit. Returns the actual
    canonical text — quote from this, not from memory.

Input parameters:

- `juan_num` (integer, required)
- `text_id` (integer, required)

### `get_parallels` (~89 tokens)

Cross-canon parallel passages aligned to a fascicle.

    fojin's alignment moat: given a Chinese fascicle, returns the aligned
    Pali/Tibetan/Sanskrit parallels (each with its own `urn`) so you can compare
    how a passage is rendered across traditions.

Input parameters:

- `juan_num` (integer, required)
- `text_id` (integer, required)

### `lookup_dictionary` (~39 tokens)

Look up a Buddhist term across fojin's dictionaries (748K+ entries).

Input parameters:

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

### `lookup_entity` (~47 tokens)

Search fojin's knowledge graph for entities — people, places, works,
    doctrinal terms — matching `query`.

Input parameters:

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

### `resolve_urn` (~62 tokens)

Resolve a fojin URN (e.g. fojin:cbeta/T0001.1) to a reader URL and confirm
    it exists in the corpus. Use to verify or dereference a citation.

Input parameters:

- `urn` (string, required)

### `verify_quote` (~264 tokens)

Verify that a Buddhist-canon quote exists VERBATIM in the corpus.

    Call this before presenting any quoted scripture to a reader: LLMs
    routinely invent plausible-looking quotes. Returns `verbatim` (bool),
    where it was found (`matches`, each with a resolvable `urn`), or the
    closest near-miss window when it wasn't. `cite` optionally narrows the
    search — a CBETA id ("T0374") or fojin URN ("fojin:cbeta/T0374.13") —
    and `cite_matched` reports honestly whether the quote is where you
    claimed (a hit in a different fascicle does NOT confirm your citation).
    Quote must be ≥4 CJK chars after normalisation; Classical Chinese only.
    Short quotes are answered but say less: a four-character phrase recurs
    across the canon, so read `cite_matched` rather than `verbatim`, and check
    `matches_capped` before treating the list as complete. Each match carries
    an absolute `reader_url` — cite that, not a reconstructed third-party link.

Input parameters:

- `cite`
- `juan`
- `quote` (string, required)
