## 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 2026-11-04.

- **Endpoint Security**: 83/100
  - 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 is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 84/100
  - 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 2809 tokens (~255/item across 11 items; 11 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Tools include usage examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 47/100
  - Stability observed for 14 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.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 12 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).

## MCP tools (11)

### `app_tracker_charts` (~278 tokens)

Read a top chart with movers

Use this when the user asks what is on or climbing the App Store top free or top paid chart, such as "top free apps in the US" or "what is climbing the top paid chart?". Pass country, chart (free or paid) and limit. Returns ranked entries with price, rating, rating count and change since an earlier snapshot, plus movers (gainers, losers, new entries, dropped) and apps released in the last 7 days. movers.since is the time of the snapshot compared against; null means there is none yet. Google Play, grossing and genre charts answer source_off: no allowed source publishes them.

Input parameters:

- `chart` (string): Which top chart: free (default) or paid. grossing answers source_off: no allowed source publishes it.
- `country` (string): Two-letter store country, such as us, gb or jp. Default us.
- `genre` (string): Omit for the overall chart. A genre answers source_off: no allowed source publishes genre charts.
- `limit` (integer): How many rows to return, 1 to 100. Default 25. The whole chart is always scanned.
- `store` (string): apple (App Store, default). play answers source_off: Google Play charts load only through a path its robots.txt disallows.

Output parameters:

- `as_of` (string): ISO 8601 time the data was published by its source or fetched from it. A cached answer keeps the time of its fetch.
- `chart` (string)
- `country` (string)
- `day` (string|null)
- `entries` (array)
- `fetchedAt` (string)
- `genre` (object|null)

- `note` (string)
- `source` (object): Who the data comes from, to cite and to check it against.
- `stale` (object): Present only when Apple's feed failed and the newest stored copy of the chart, up to 3 days old, was served instead. fetchedAt is that copy's time.
- `store` (string)
- `untrusted_source` (boolean)

### `app_tracker_opportunities` (~276 tokens)

Score a chart for Stale Winners

Use this when the user wants app ideas or weak incumbents on a top chart, such as "which popular apps on the top free chart are badly rated or abandoned?". Pass the chart inputs and min_score. Scans all 100 chart apps and returns each with a Stale Winner score (0 to 100, 75 or more is high), its reasons, flags (low_rating, stale) and a download and revenue estimate range. Scores rank opportunities; they do not prove a market.

Input parameters:

- `chart` (string): Which top chart: free (default) or paid. grossing answers source_off: no allowed source publishes it.
- `country` (string): Two-letter store country, such as us, gb or jp. Default us.
- `genre` (string): Omit for the overall chart. A genre answers source_off: no allowed source publishes genre charts.
- `limit` (integer): How many rows to return, 1 to 100. Default 25. The whole chart is always scanned.
- `min_score` (integer): Only apps scoring at least this much. 75 or more is a high opportunity. Default 0.
- `store` (string): apple (App Store, default). play answers source_off: Google Play charts load only through a path its robots.txt disallows.

Output parameters:

- `as_of` (string): ISO 8601 time the data was published by its source or fetched from it. A cached answer keeps the time of its fetch.

- `stale` (object): Present only when Apple's feed failed and the newest stored copy of the chart, up to 3 days old, was served instead. fetchedAt is that copy's time.
- `store` (string)
- `untrusted_source` (boolean)

### `app_tracker_lookup` (~338 tokens)

Read one app or a few

Use this when the user asks about one competitor app, such as "how many installs does this Play app have?" or "when was this app last updated?". Pass app (an App Store id or link, or a Google Play package name or link) and country, or apps with up to 5 of them to compare competitors in one call. Returns the price, rating, rating count, update date, an estimate and a Stale Winner score; for Google Play also exact installs, the rating split and the in-app price range. warnings names each part that is off: App Store IAP tiers, version history and privacy labels, and reviews on both stores. With apps, the answer is reports (one such report per app, in the order asked) and failed (each app that could not be read, with its error code).

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): Two-letter store country, such as us, gb or jp. Default us.
- `reviews` (boolean): Ask for complaint themes from recent 1 and 2 star reviews. Default true. No allowed source carries reviews, so warnings says so and themes stay empty.
- `store` (string): Force apple or play when the app value is ambiguous, such as an App Store bundle id.

Output parameters:

- `app` (object)
- `as_of` (string): ISO 8601 time the data was published by its source or fetched from it. A cached answer keeps the time of its fetch.
- `cadence` (object)
- `complaints` (object)

App Store search results (off)

Off: always answers source_off. App Store search results and suggestions sit under robots.txt Disallow lines on apps.apple.com, search.itunes.apple.com and itunes.apple.com, so they are not read. Say that search results are not available from an allowed source, and offer app_tracker_charts instead.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): Two-letter store country, such as us, gb or jp. Default us.
- `term` (string, required): The words a person types in the App Store search box.

Output parameters:

### `app_tracker_abandoned` (~197 tokens)

Abandoned apps in search (off)

Off: always answers source_off. The scan behind it reads App Store search results, search suggestions, reviews and HTML chart pages, which robots.txt or Apple's terms do not allow, so it does not run. Say that this scan is off, and offer app_tracker_opportunities, whose stale flag marks chart apps with no update for over 180 days.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): Two-letter store country, such as us, gb or jp. Default us.
- `genre` (string): Apple genre id such as 6007 (Productivity) or a genre name. Default 6007.

Pass app (id or link), keywords (1 to 20) and countries (up to 10, default us). Per keyword and country: rank is the app's place in the iTunes Search API's top 200 (not_ranked past it, never guessed); volume 0-100 is the top 50 names' match to the phrase (whole phrase 1, else half the word share), summed over 50; difficulty 0-100 is the top 10 rating counts on a log scale (10 ratings 0, a million 1), summed over 10; weakMarket: not ranked while 10 other apps are. fetchedAt is the read time. A call waits about 8 s; cells not read by then are pending and keep being read: call again after retryAfterSeconds while pending falls. warnings says why reads fail.
