## 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**: 11/100
  - TLS not yet verified: we couldn't open a connection to check the certificate.
  - Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS not yet verified: we couldn't read the response headers to check for it.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but we couldn't connect to verify it.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema, or could read only part of its tool list.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.

- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's capabilities.

**Unverified: 5 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

Text stats + token estimate

Count characters, words, sentences, lines and paragraphs, estimate LLM tokens, reading time and readability (Flesch), and pull out every URL, email, @handle, #tag, number and crypto address.

## Common questions

### What is the A.U.G.U.R Synapse · Utils MCP server?

A.U.G.U.R Synapse · Utils is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as art.maddegen.agent/synapse-util. Exact local utils: QR, hashing/encoding, JSON Schema, cron, markdown, diff, units, JWT, random. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://augur-trade.com/hub/mcp/util).

### Is the A.U.G.U.R Synapse · Utils MCP server safe to use?

A.U.G.U.R Synapse · Utils scores 59 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 A.U.G.U.R Synapse · Utils MCP server expose?

A.U.G.U.R Synapse · Utils exposes 10 tools: qr_code, hash_encode, json_schema_validate, cron_explain, markdown_convert, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,926 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the A.U.G.U.R Synapse · Utils MCP server require authentication?

Its publisher declares no required credentials for A.U.G.U.R Synapse · Utils. We have not been able to confirm that against the live endpoint, and a server can require authorisation without declaring it here.

### Is the A.U.G.U.R Synapse · Utils MCP server still maintained?

A.U.G.U.R Synapse · Utils is marked deprecated in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 2 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
