## 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 2026-10-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - 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 4 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.
  - 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**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 681 tokens (~170/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**: 100/100
  - No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.
- **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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 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.

## Install

### How do I install the Netstate MCP server?

Netstate is a hosted endpoint at https://netstate.co/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

## MCP tools (4)

### `search_companies` (~271 tokens)

Search companies

Full-text search across 128 million registered companies in official US and Canadian state registers — by legal name, officer or director name, phone number, email or website. Contact-shaped queries (phone/email/website) resolve through the official records carrying that exact value; the response's matched_by field says which channel matched. Filters mirror the website's facet rail; the response carries up to 25 matching profiles plus facet counts. Facet counts describe every name match (not just the filtered set), so they show which filter values would widen or narrow the search. Records are for human review — not for automated decisions covered by the FCRA.

Input parameters:

- `has` (array): Only companies with this data on file (multi-select)
- `naics` (string): Two-digit NAICS sector
- `query` (string, required): Company name or name fragment, an officer/director name, or an exact phone number, email or website
- `sort` (string): Result order
- `state` (string): Registration jurisdiction slug: "us-" or "ca-" plus the two-letter state/province code, e.g. "us-ca", "us-de", "ca-on"
- `status` (string): Registry status
- `type` (string): Entity type
- `year` (string): Formation decade

### `list_jurisdictions` (~82 tokens)

List jurisdictions & industries

The taxonomy for building queries: countries with regions (and cities when a country+region is given), industries, statuses, and total company count. Call this first to find valid slugs for the other tools.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): Limit to one country slug
- `region` (string): Also list the cities of this region (requires country)

### `get_site_info` (~40 tokens)

About Netstate

What Netstate is, its pricing plans, API endpoints, FAQ and usage restrictions. Call this to learn what the site offers before using the data tools.

### `register_agent` (~144 tokens)

Register for an API key

Self-register as an agent and receive a working Netstate API key in the response — no human step. The key authenticates the REST API at /v1: send it as the x-api-key header. Search and taxonomy are free; premium endpoints (e.g. court records) spend 1 credit per company and need a paid plan (from $15/mo, see /pricing) — new keys start with no credits. Idempotent per email: registering the same email again returns a fresh key.

Input parameters:

- `agent_name` (string): A name identifying your agent (optional, for your own reference)
- `email` (string, required): Contact email for the agent's account
