## 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**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation.
  - 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**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1002 tokens (~111/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 23/100
  - Stability observed for 7 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 9 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 10 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.

## MCP tools (9)

### `etsy_listing_check` (~108 tokens)

Check an Etsy listing

Reads one Etsy listing from Etsy's API: title, the 13 tags, photo count and sizes, video, when it expires and whether it auto-renews, favorites, and whether the description mentions AI. Applies Etsy's published title/tag rules and returns the first thing to fix. Use for 'is my listing set up right?' and 'when does my listing expire?'.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): Etsy listing link (etsy.com/listing/<number>) or the listing number

### `etsy_shop_audit` (~110 tokens)

Audit an Etsy shop

Reads up to 100 active listings of an Etsy shop from Etsy's API and checks each one against Etsy's published title, tag and photo rules. Returns the shop's first problem and how many listings have it, per-listing issues, and Etsy's shop sales count (the shop's lifetime total, not per listing). Use for 'why is my Etsy shop not getting sales?' and 'what should I fix first?'.

Input parameters:

- `shop` (string, required): Etsy shop name or shop link

### `etsy_shop_sales` (~89 tokens)

Etsy shop sales count

Etsy's own sales count (transaction_sold_count: total sales of the shop, not per listing), active listings, favorites and opening year for up to 5 Etsy shops. No revenue estimate. Use for 'how many sales does this Etsy shop have?' and comparing competitors.

Input parameters:

- `shops` (required): Up to 5 Etsy shop names or links, as an array or a comma-separated string

### `etsy_top_shops` (~104 tokens)

Shops behind an Etsy search

Runs one Etsy search (first 100 active listings, relevance order) and returns the shops behind it: how many of those listings each shop has, Etsy's shop sales count and opening year. Use for 'who sells <product> on Etsy?' and 'who are my competitors?'.

Input parameters:

- `physical` (boolean): Drop digital downloads/patterns from the results
- `query` (string, required): What the seller sells, e.g. 'ceramic mug'

### `etsy_niche_check` (~101 tokens)

Etsy niche facts

Facts from one Etsy search: Etsy's active listing count for the phrase, the middle half and median of USD-priced listing prices (other currencies counted, not converted), tags and title phrases the listings share, and the shops behind them. No demand or saturation verdict and no search volume (Etsy's API does not provide it).

Input parameters:

- `physical` (boolean): Drop digital downloads/patterns
- `query` (string, required): Product or niche phrase

### `etsy_rank_check` (~116 tokens)

Etsy listing position for a search

Position of a listing (or a shop's listings) in the first 100 active listings Etsy's API returns for a search phrase, in relevance order, and which words of the phrase are missing from its title and tags. Beyond 100 it says 'not in the first 100'. etsy.com search can differ per shopper.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Search phrase
- `shop` (string): Etsy shop name (give url or shop)
- `url` (string): Etsy listing link (give url or shop)

### `etsy_shop_name_check` (~79 tokens)

Etsy shop name check

Checks up to 6 shop names against Etsy's shop name rules and whether an Etsy shop already uses each name. 'No shop found' does NOT mean available: Etsy does not reuse names of closed shops and closed shops do not show up.

Input parameters:

- `names` (required): Up to 6 names, as an array or a comma-separated string

### `etsy_tag_ideas` (~66 tokens)

Etsy tags real listings use

The tags and title phrases the first 100 Etsy listings for a phrase actually use, each counted once per listing, plus a 13-tag starting set. No search volume (Etsy's API does not provide it).

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): What the seller sells

### `etsy_fee_calculator` (~110 tokens)

Etsy fees for one sale

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Seller country: ISO code (US, GB, TR…) or name
- `price` (number, required): Item price in USD
- `shipping` (number): Shipping charged to the buyer in USD (default 0)
