## 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**: 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**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1024 tokens (~113/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 77/100
  - Stability observed for 23 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 89/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 67% 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 9 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 10 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.

## MCP tools (9)

### `get_site_info` (~77 tokens)

What Bike4Mind is, in machine-readable form: the open-core AI workbench (notebooks, agents, 13 artifact types, image gen, data lakes, MCP host+server), licensing (BSL 1.1 → Apache-2.0 ratchet), deployment modes, and every agent-facing surface this site publishes.

### `list_models` (~121 tokens)

The live Bike4Mind model catalog — synced from the live Bike4Mind models API (the same models the app offers). Filter by type ('text'|'image'), provider, or a substring query. Returns name, provider, context window, max output, cost tier (text models), and a per-entry source for auditing.

Input parameters:

- `provider` (string): e.g. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Amazon Bedrock, Black Forest Labs
- `q` (string): substring match on model name
- `type` (string)

### `get_comparison` (~64 tokens)

The full Bike4Mind vs ChatGPT (OpenAI) vs Claude (Anthropic) vs Microsoft Copilot vs build-it-yourself comparison — the same table rendered at /compare, with the structural argument: a lab can't be model-neutral, a cloud can't be cloud-neutral.

### `get_open_core_facts` (~56 tokens)

The open-core licensing and sovereignty facts: the BSL 1.1 → Apache-2.0 ratchet, the three-ring 'door out' (Usage Policy §0), and why the exit is the trust.

### `search_blog_posts` (~131 tokens)

Search bike4mind.com blog posts. Multi-word queries are matched term by term across title, tags, summary and full body — so natural phrasing works ("open core licensing") and you do not have to guess a post's exact wording. Results are ranked: posts matching every term come first, partial matches follow rather than being discarded. Omit q to list the most recent posts. Returns compact listings with URLs.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): max results (default 10)
- `q` (string): words to search for, in any order; matched across title, tags, summary and body

### `get_blog_post` (~30 tokens)

Fetch a bike4mind.com blog post's full content by slug.

### `whats_new` (~187 tokens)

Dated product updates from Bike4Mind and its products (Paintbox, Tarot, Stocks and Vibes, Bedrock News, K2 Kanji, Manifold, Fleet, Overwatch, Bob), newest first. Each entry is one sentence with a kind (feature, art or fix), a product tag, and any screenshots or demo videos as absolute media URLs. Filter by product slug and/or a start date; omit both for the latest updates.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): max entries (default 10, max 50)
- `product` (string): product slug, one of: bike4mind, paintbox, tarot, stocks-and-vibes, bedrock-news, k2kanji, manifold, fleet, overwatch, bob, 4xciv, one-more-road
- `since` (string): only entries on or after this day, YYYY-MM-DD

### `list_products` (~132 tokens)

Every product in the Bike4Mind ecosystem (Bike4Mind itself, Bedrock News, K2Kanji, Stocks and Vibes, Bob, 4XCiv, Paintbox, Overwatch, Tarot, Manifold, Fleet) plus Friends of Bike4Mind, products other people built with it (tier 'friend', with a creator): name, one-line tagline, status (live, beta or in development), category, public URL where there is one, and the bike4mind.com page for each. Filter by category or status.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string)
- `status` (string)

### `get_product` (~96 tokens)

One product in the Bike4Mind ecosystem by slug: what it is, where Bike4Mind fits in it, status, category, links, and its latest dated updates.
