## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 2 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS not yet verified: we couldn't determine whether a plaintext access path exists.
  - 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**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1213 tokens (~173/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
- **Capabilities**: 40/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (7)

### `convert_file` (~191 tokens)

Convert File

Convert a file from one format to another. Pass EITHER a publicly accessible URL (source_url) OR base64-encoded file contents (base64_content + source_format) — exactly one is required. Returns a temporary download URL (valid 1 hour; file deleted within 24 hours).

Input parameters:

- `base64_content` (string): Base64-encoded file content (for small files; max ~5MB)
- `filename` (string): Optional filename hint for auto-detection (e.g. "document.docx")
- `source_format` (string): Source format extension (e.g. "docx", "mp4"). Auto-detected from URL if omitted.
- `source_url` (string): Publicly accessible URL of the file to convert (preferred for large files)
- `target_format` (string, required): Target format extension (e.g. "json", "mp3", "pdf"). Required.

### `list_conversions` (~58 tokens)

List Supported Conversions

List all supported conversion routes. Optionally filter by source format to see what you can convert FROM a specific format.

Input parameters:

- `source_format` (string): Filter by source format (e.g. "docx" returns all DOCX target options)

### `translate_file` (~192 tokens)

Translate Document (paid, free preview)

Translate a document into another language with the original layout and formatting preserved (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF, TXT, MD, SRT, VTT). The job runs immediately and returns a FREE preview of the first pages plus a secure Stripe checkout link — the full translated file unlocks after payment ($4.99, one-time, no account needed). Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension.

Input parameters:

- `base64_content` (string): Base64-encoded file content (for small files)
- `filename` (string): Filename WITH extension (e.g. "report.pdf"). Required when the format cannot be inferred from source_url.
- `source_url` (string): Publicly accessible URL of the input file (preferred for large files)
- `target_language` (string, required): Target language name, e.g. "Spanish", "Japanese", "Brazilian Portuguese"

### `extract_tables` (~156 tokens)

Extract Tables to Excel (paid, free preview)

Extract every table from a PDF or image (PNG, JPG, WebP) into a clean multi-sheet Excel file. The job runs immediately and returns a FREE preview of the first table plus a secure Stripe checkout link — the full .xlsx unlocks after payment ($3.99, one-time, no account needed). Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension.

Input parameters:

- `base64_content` (string): Base64-encoded file content (for small files)
- `filename` (string): Filename WITH extension (e.g. "report.pdf"). Required when the format cannot be inferred from source_url.
- `source_url` (string): Publicly accessible URL of the input file (preferred for large files)

### `compress_file` (~195 tokens)

Compress File to Exact Size (free)

Compress a file (PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP, MP4, MOV, WebM) down to an exact target size — e.g. "under 5MB for an upload form". FREE (daily limit applies). Returns a download URL on success; if the target is physically unreachable it fails honestly and reports the smallest achievable size. Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension.

Input parameters:

- `base64_content` (string): Base64-encoded file content (for small files)
- `filename` (string): Filename WITH extension (e.g. "report.pdf"). Required when the format cannot be inferred from source_url.
- `source_url` (string): Publicly accessible URL of the input file (preferred for large files)
- `target_size_kb` (integer, required): Target maximum size in kilobytes (e.g. 5120 for 5MB). Min 50KB.

### `do_file_job` (~189 tokens)

Do Something to a File (natural language)

Describe what you want done to a file in plain language — e.g. "translate this contract to German", "pull every table out of this PDF into Excel", "shrink this video to under 25MB", "convert this to PDF". The instruction is routed to the right job automatically; if the request is not supported yet you get an honest explanation of what is. Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension.

Input parameters:

- `base64_content` (string): Base64-encoded file content (for small files)
- `filename` (string): Filename WITH extension (e.g. "report.pdf"). Required when the format cannot be inferred from source_url.

- `source_url` (string): Publicly accessible URL of the input file (preferred for large files)

### `check_job` (~71 tokens)

Check the status of a previously submitted file job (translate_file, extract_tables, compress_file). Returns the current status, preview + checkout link for completed paid jobs, or the download URL for completed free/paid-and-unlocked jobs.

Input parameters:

- `job_id` (string, required): The job_id returned by a job tool
