## 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 2026-10-18.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - 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**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2444 tokens (~162/item across 15 items; 15 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 93/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 80% 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 15 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 16 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.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

Camp Map Pass: what it adds and how to buy it

What the Camp Map Pass adds over the free map (offline maps, the full scouting list, work-week picks, the full hunting view, more for AI assistants), its prices (CA$55 a year or CA$5 a month), direct purchase links, and how the user gives the pass to an assistant. Also says whether the current request carries a valid pass. Covers offline use, more spots, work-week picks, hunting details and upgrading.

Start buying the Camp Map Pass in this conversation

Begin a Camp Map Pass purchase without leaving the conversation: returns checkout links (CA$55 a year or CA$5 a month, Stripe, no account) tagged with a purchase reference. The user pays in their browser; the reference identifies that payment afterwards.

### `pass_status` (~80 tokens)

Collect the pass key after the user has paid

Input parameters:

- `reference` (string, required): The reference from start_pass_purchase (ag_…).

### `report_conditions` (~170 tokens)

Store a field report (Camp Map Pass)

Confirm what a spot was like (Camp Map Pass)

Stores what the user found at a camping spot (outcome: camped, signal_worked, signal_failed, road_as_described, road_worse, closed, no_camping_sign), read by the next scouting-list build. Needs the user's Camp Map Pass key; shares the daily cap of 10 stored reports.

Input parameters:

- `lat` (number, required): Latitude in decimal degrees (WGS84).
- `lng` (number, required): Longitude in decimal degrees (WGS84), negative west of Greenwich.
- `name` (string): The spot name as the map shows it, if known.
- `outcome` (string, required)

### `trip_feedback` (~112 tokens)

Answer three questions after a trip (Camp Map Pass)

Stores the user's answers after a trip planned with plan_trip (its followup token): camped there or not, whether the signal worked (worked, weak, none) and whether the road was as described (as_described, worse, better). Stored beside the forecast that was given. Needs the user's Camp Map Pass key.

Input parameters:

- `camped` (boolean)
- `road` (string)
- `signal` (string)
- `token` (string, required): The followup.token from the plan_trip answer.

## Common questions

### What is the Cosmic's Camp Map MCP server?

Cosmic's Camp Map is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.brendoncampbell/camp-map. Can I camp here, and will I have signal? Land status, signal, weather and fires in Canada and the US. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://camp.cosmicotter.ca/mcp).

### Is the Cosmic's Camp Map MCP server safe to use?

Cosmic's Camp Map scores 67 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 Cosmic's Camp Map MCP server expose?

Cosmic's Camp Map exposes 15 tools: check_spot, find_spots, plan_trip, work_week, hunting_spots, and 10 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,964 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Cosmic's Camp Map MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Cosmic's Camp Map without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the Cosmic's Camp Map MCP server still maintained?

Cosmic's Camp Map is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 18 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
