## 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**: 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 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 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 2944 tokens (~117/item across 25 items; 25 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 30/100
  - Stability observed for 9 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 25 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 26 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

### `web_read` (~228 tokens)

Paid $0.05 per call: read one public web page and get it back as clean text — title plus paragraph blocks, markup/script/style/iframe removed, capped at 12,000 characters and honest about it in `truncated`. The Indonesian entity dictionary and sentiment lexicon behind indonesia_sentiment then run over that text and come back with their matched terms (no LLM; sentiment is null with a reason when the page declares a non-Indonesian lang rather than a invented score). Safe by construction: only public http/https targets — any host whose DNS answer includes a loopback, private, CGNAT, link-local, cloud-metadata or reserved address is refused, connections go to that validated IP, redirects are never followed, the body is cut at 1.5 MB and only text/html, text/plain, text/markdown, application/json and application/xml are parsed.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): Absolute public http(s) URL. No credentials in the URL, no ports other than 80/443, no private or metadata targets — all refused before payment.

## Common questions

### What is the app.vercel.indo-news-api/news MCP server?

app.vercel.indo-news-api/news is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as app.vercel.indo-news-api/news. Indonesian news for AI agents: headlines, keyword search, coverage summaries. Free MCP tools. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://indo-news-api.vercel.app/mcp).

### Is the app.vercel.indo-news-api/news MCP server safe to use?

app.vercel.indo-news-api/news scores 69 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the app.vercel.indo-news-api/news MCP server expose?

app.vercel.indo-news-api/news exposes 25 tools: indonesia_headlines_preview, indonesia_new_since, indonesia_trending, indonesia_search_preview, indonesia_data_preview, and 20 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,429 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the app.vercel.indo-news-api/news MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to app.vercel.indo-news-api/news without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the app.vercel.indo-news-api/news MCP server still maintained?

app.vercel.indo-news-api/news is marked deprecated in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the app.vercel.indo-news-api/news MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 12 checks on app.vercel.indo-news-api/news, covering TLS certificate, HTTPS, HSTS header, DNSSEC and 8 more. One item could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about app.vercel.indo-news-api/news: Authorization. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
