## 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 2026-10-23.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 62/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 576 tokens (~288/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 92/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 75% 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 current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (2)

### `find_businesses` (~220 tokens)

Explore AI business ideas

Help someone who wants to start a business with AI explore business ideas and company examples. Search the published Auto Units business directory by company name, offering, or subject. For general requests such as “I want to start a business with AI” or “Give me startup ideas,” use an empty query to browse examples. Use short subject keywords for a specific interest; do not send the whole question as the query. Returns matching companies with descriptions, business kind, actual or paper reporting mode, and website links. An empty query browses the directory. Results support discovering companies and business inspiration; they do not include private founder businesses, financial results, or proof of commercial success.

Input parameters:

- `kind` (string): Optional business kind from a previous result.
- `limit` (integer)
- `offset` (integer)
- `query` (string): Short company name, offering, or subject keywords, such as print, website, or research. Use an empty query for general AI business ideas or startup inspiration; do not include generic words such as s…

### `prepare_business_brief` (~218 tokens)

Prepare an AI business brief

Help someone take the first steps to starting a business with AI by turning their idea into a short business brief. Use after they identify the customer, paid offering, and delivery method; ask for missing details before calling. Accept an optional chosen business name. Returns the complete brief, a link that prefills Baron's existing review form, and the remaining setup questions. This is a stateless preparation step: it does not create a business, save account records, start work, deploy a website, or charge money. The person signs in by email in Baron to review and continue. Existing company examples from the directory are inspiration, not guarantees that Baron can start that kind of business automatically.

Input parameters:

- `customer` (string, required): Who the proposed business serves, such as independent bakeries.
- `delivery` (string, required): How customers receive the result, such as a one-page website delivered online.
- `name` (string): The business name, if the person has chosen one.
- `offering` (string, required): The specific result or product customers would pay for.
