## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 83/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, but the challenge carries no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - 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**: 66/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 282 tokens (~94/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `get_congress_trades` (~160 tokens)

U.S. Congress stock trades from official STOCK Act Periodic Transaction Reports (House Clerk + Senate eFD). Each row: member, chamber, state, ticker, company, type (purchase/sale/exchange), disclosed dollar range, transaction & disclosure dates, AND per-trade performance (price at trade, latest price, % move since). Filter by ticker, member (substring), chamber, or type. Newest transaction first. CAVEAT: PTRs are disclosed up to ~45 days after the trade — read as 'recent weeks', not real-time.

Input parameters:

- `chamber` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `member` (string)
- `ticker` (string)
- `type` (string)

### `get_congress_member` (~74 tokens)

All disclosed trades for one member of Congress plus a performance summary (trade count, buys/sells, average per-share return on disclosed buys). Pass the member_slug returned by get_congress_trades (e.g. 'nancy-pelosi').

Input parameters:

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

### `get_congress_stats` (~48 tokens)

Aggregate Congress-trading stats: total trades/members/tickers, buy vs sell counts, latest transaction & disclosure dates, and the most-traded tickers over the last 90 days.
