## 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**: 60/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 1 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 53/100
  - 35% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 2570 tokens (~85/item across 30 items; 4 tools + 26 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**: 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 (25% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-03 (score 64, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27.

## MCP tools (4)

### `hf_whoami` (~35 tokens)

Hugging Face User Info

Hugging Face tools are being used anonymously and may be rate limited. Call this tool for instructions on joining and authenticating.

### `hub_repo_search` (~208 tokens)

Repo Search

Search Hugging Face repositories with a shared query interface. You can target models, datasets, spaces, or aggregate across multiple repo types in one call. Include links to repositories in your response.

Input parameters:

- `author` (string): Organization or user namespace to filter by (e.g. 'google', 'meta-llama', 'huggingface').
- `filters` (array): Optional hub filter tags. Applied to each selected repo type (e.g. ["text-generation"], ["language:en"], ["mcp-server"]).
- `limit` (number): Maximum number of results to return per selected repo type
- `query` (string): Search term. Leave blank and specify sort + limit to browse trending or recent repositories.
- `repo_types` (array): Repository types to search. Defaults to ["model", "dataset"]. space uses keyword search via /api/spaces.
- `sort` (string): Sort order (descending): trendingScore, downloads, likes, createdAt, lastModified

### `hub_repo_details` (~279 tokens)

Get details for one or more Hugging Face repos (model, dataset, or space). Auto-detects type unless specified. For datasets, use operations: overview, dataset_structure, dataset_preview. Use dataset_structure first to discover configs, splits, sizes, and schema. Use dataset_preview only when config and split are known, unless the dataset has a single config/split.

Input parameters:

- `config` (string): Dataset Viewer config. Required for dataset_preview when the dataset has multiple config/split options. Discover via dataset_structure.
- `limit` (integer): Row count for dataset_preview. Defaults to 5 and is clamped to 1-100.
- `offset` (integer): Row offset for dataset_preview. Defaults to 0.
- `operations` (array): Details to return. Defaults to ["overview"]. For datasets, prefer ["overview", "dataset_structure"] first; then call ["dataset_preview"] with config and split.
- `repo_ids` (array, required): Repo IDs for (models|dataset/space) - usually in author/name format (e.g. openai/gpt-oss-120b)
- `repo_type` (string): Specify lookup type; otherwise auto-detects
- `split` (string): Dataset Viewer split. Required for dataset_preview when the dataset has multiple config/split options. Discover via dataset_structure.

### `hf_fs` (~745 tokens)

Hugging Face Hub: Find, use and view models, datasets, spaces, buckets, papers, documentation and collections. Get daily papers reports, and browse trending content.

Use to access the Hugging Face Hub. Navigate resources with ls, cat, find, stat, and search over hf:// URIs. Roots: hf://models, hf://datasets, hf://spaces, hf://buckets, hf://collections, hf://papers, hf://docs. For papers, ls hf://papers/ARXIV_ID to discover related resources; cat hf://papers/ARXIV_ID/paper.md or metadata.json. Documentation paths include the current version from each product's llms.txt manifest.

Grammar; each token below is one args array element:
  ls     URI [(-R|-r|-lR|-laR|--recursive)] [(-l|-a|-la|-al|--long)] [--glob GLOB]
             [(-type|--type|--entry-type) TYPE] [--sort SORT] [(-limit|--limit) N]
  cat    URI [RELATIVE_PATH] [(-offset|--offset) N] [(-max-bytes|--max-bytes) N]
  stat   URI [RELATIVE_PATH]
  find   URI [(-R|-r|--recursive)] [(-name|--name|--glob) GLOB] [(-path|--path) GLOB]
             [(-type|--type|--entry-type) TYPE] [(-limit|--limit) N]
  search URI [QUERY...] [(-type|--type|--entry-type) TYPE] [--sort SORT]
                        [--tag TAG] [--kind mcp] [(-limit|--limit) N]

TYPE = file|dir|repo|bucket|collection|paper|link.
Type aliases: f=file, d=dir, l=link, model|dataset|space=repo.
SORT = createdAt|downloads|likes|lastModified|likes30d|trendingScore|mainSize|id|trending|upvotes.
URI starts with hf://. QUERY and GLOB are each one string token.
Search URI: hf://models|datasets|spaces[/OWNER], hf://collections[/OWNER], any hf://docs scope, or exactly hf://papers; not hf://.
Repository and collection searches may omit QUERY to browse or filter; documentation and paper searches require it.
Search joins multiple positional QUERY tokens with spaces. Cat and stat join one RELATIVE_PATH token to URI.
Long-list flags are accepted for compatibility; hf_fs listings are already structured, so they do not alter output.
Find is already recursive, so recursive flags are accepted without altering behavior.
Space search: hf://spaces uses semantic search; repeat --tag to require tags, or use --kind mcp for --tag mcp-serve…
