## 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**: 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**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 281 tokens (~140/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 7/100
  - Stability observed for 2 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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (2)

### `check_ai_crawler_access` (~200 tokens)

Check AI crawler access

Checks whether AI crawlers can reach and read a public website or web app: which AI crawlers (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and more) robots.txt allows and the exact rule for each, how much text the homepage HTML carries for crawlers that do not run JavaScript (flags client-rendered app shells, common in apps built with Lovable, Bolt, Base44 or Replit), title/meta description/H1, llms.txt, sitemap, and the platform or host setting to change (Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify). Use it when someone asks why their site or app does not show up in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or other AI answers.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string, required): Public domain or URL, for example example.com
- `lang` (string): Language of the verdict text (default en)

### `list_ai_crawlers` (~54 tokens)

List known AI crawlers

Lists the AI crawler user-agent tokens Atalaya checks, by vendor and purpose (training, search index, user-triggered fetch), so you can write a robots.txt that keeps AI search while opting out of training.
