## 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**: 94/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token.
  - 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.
  - The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1245 tokens (~69/item across 18 items; 18 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 18/100
  - Stability check failed: schema churn in the 8 days we've observed: 1 tool removals, 1 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 1 additions.
- **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.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (18)

### `get_rates` (~181 tokens)

Get current rates

List current rates across providers, optionally filtered by symbol, category, or provider. For "what is the best yield on BTC right now?" style questions, ALWAYS pass category="lending"/"borrowing"/"staking" — an unfiltered call mostly returns spot prices (category="price"), not yields.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Filter by product category. IMPORTANT for yield questions: without this filter, most returned rows are category="price" (spot prices), not yields. Pass category="lending", "borrowing", or "staking" t…
- `limit` (integer): Max results, default 100
- `provider` (string): Filter by provider slug, case-insensitive
- `symbol` (string): Filter by coin symbol, case-insensitive (e.g. "btc" or "BTC")

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)

### `get_rate_by_symbol` (~125 tokens)

Get rates for a single symbol

Fetch all provider rates for a specific coin symbol. Optionally filter by category — pass category="lending"/"borrowing"/"staking" for yield questions, since unfiltered results mix in spot prices (category="price").

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Filter to a single product category. Without it, results mix spot prices (category="price") in with yields — pass "lending"/"borrowing"/"staking" for yield-only results.
- `symbol` (string, required): Coin symbol, case-insensitive (e.g. "btc" or "eth")

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)

### `get_rate_history` (~164 tokens)

Historical rates

Historical rate timeseries for a symbol. Recent history (~30 days) is per-tick; older history is daily granularity. Depth is clamped to your plan (up to 365 days on Pro) and bounded by how far back data has been recorded. (Current plan: up to 1825 days of history.)

Input parameters:

- `days` (integer): Days of history. Clamped server-side to your plan (Free 7, Starter 30, Growth 90, Pro 365, Enterprise 1825) and bounded by available data. Points within ~30 days are per-tick; older points are daily.
- `provider` (string): Provider slug to scope to, case-insensitive
- `symbol` (string, required): Coin symbol, case-insensitive

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)

### `list_providers` (~46 tokens)
