## 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 2026-09-21.

- **Endpoint Security**: 89/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - The endpoint enforces authorisation, but returns a challenge with no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token.
  - 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**: 0/100
  - Transport blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to verify streamable-http.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read it.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read its tools.
- **Tool Safety**: 0/100
  - Tool safety blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read its tools.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read them.

**Unverified: 6 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (3)

### `pdf_to_markdown` (~151 tokens)

Convert PDF to Markdown

Convert a PDF into readable Markdown for analysis and retrieval.

Use this when an agent needs the text, headings, tables, and document
structure from a PDF. Supply exactly one source: a public URL or base64
PDF bytes. The optional page range is useful for large documents.

Returns:
    Markdown text on success, or an actionable error object on failure.

Input parameters:

- `page_range`: Optional pages to convert, such as '1-5'. Omit to convert the entire PDF.
- `pdf_base64`: Base64-encoded PDF bytes. Provide this or url, never both.
- `url`: Public URL pointing directly to a PDF. Provide this or pdf_base64, never both.

### `extract_document_fields` (~164 tokens)

Extract Document Fields

Extract structured fields and full text from a document image.

Use this for invoices, receipts, forms, and similar PNG or JPEG images
when the agent needs named fields rather than Markdown. PDF input is
intentionally rejected; use pdf_to_markdown for PDFs.

Returns:
    A dictionary containing request metadata, extracted fields, and text,
    or an actionable error object on failure.

Input parameters:

- `doc_type` (string): Document type that guides field extraction, such as 'invoice' (default), 'receipt', or 'form'.
- `image_base64`: Base64-encoded PNG or JPEG bytes. Provide this or url, never both.
- `url`: Public URL pointing directly to a PNG or JPEG document image. Provide this or image_base64, never both.

### `check_document_service` (~57 tokens)

Check Document Service

Check whether document conversion and extraction are available.

Use this before a workflow or when another document tool reports a
temporary availability problem. No document input is required.

Returns:
    A dictionary with status='healthy', or an actionable error object.
