## 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.

## Install

### How do I install the Brainiall Web MCP server?

Brainiall Web is a hosted endpoint at https://api.brainiall.com/mcp/web/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 (5)

### `read_page` (~87 tokens)

Read Web Page

Read one known web page as clean Markdown without raw HTML noise.

Use this for documentation, articles, and product pages when the URL is
already known. For an unfamiliar site, use map_site first to choose useful
URLs instead of crawling every page.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): Absolute HTTP(S) URL of documentation, an article, or a product page to read without raw HTML noise

### `search_web` (~59 tokens)

Search the Web

Find relevant web pages when you do not already know their URLs.

Input parameters:

- `max_results` (integer): Maximum results to return (capped at 25)
- `query` (string, required): Search query used to find pages by title, URL, and snippet

### `map_site` (~86 tokens)

Map Site URLs

List a site's URLs so an agent can select pages before reading them.

Prefer this inexpensive discovery step before crawl_site. Map first, then
call read_page for selected URLs unless content from many pages is required.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Maximum URLs to list (capped at 500)
- `url` (string, required): Absolute HTTP(S) site URL whose available URLs should be listed

### `crawl_site` (~109 tokens)

Crawl Site

Read multiple linked pages with strict page and depth limits.

Use only when several pages are required. If you merely need to discover a
site's structure, use map_site first because crawling is slower and costlier.

Input parameters:

- `max_depth` (integer): Maximum link depth from the starting URL (capped at 5)
- `max_pages` (integer): Maximum pages to read (capped at 50)
- `url` (string, required): Absolute HTTP(S) starting URL for a bounded multi-page crawl

### `check_web_service` (~18 tokens)

Check Web Service

Check whether the web reading service is responding.

## Common questions

### What is the Brainiall Web MCP server?

Brainiall Web is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.brainiall/web. Web search, URL content extraction to Markdown, site mapping, and recursive web crawler. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.brainiall.com/mcp/web/mcp).

### Is the Brainiall Web MCP server safe to use?

Brainiall Web scores 36 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Brainiall Web MCP server expose?

Brainiall Web exposes 5 tools: read_page, search_web, map_site, crawl_site, check_web_service. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 359 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Brainiall Web MCP server require authentication?

Yes. Brainiall Web asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

### Is the Brainiall Web MCP server still maintained?

Brainiall Web is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
