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 2026-10-05. - **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**: 75/100 - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent). - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 743 tokens (~185/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. - **Stability & Change Management**: 47/100 - Stability observed for 14 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. - Structured output schemas are declared (50% of tools); any adoption earns full credit. - **Tool Safety**: 100/100 - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured. - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation. - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it. - **Capabilities**: 100/100 - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28). ## Install ### How do I install the 905 Trades MCP server? 905 Trades is a hosted endpoint at https://905trades.ca/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally.
