## 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**: 86/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 723 tokens (~120/item across 6 items; 5 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 100/100
  - No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.
- **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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 73/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

## MCP tools (5)

### `list_tracks` (~87 tokens)

List every country Civica covers (currently 8), each with its test name, status (in_force, or preview_not_in_force for tests that are announced but not yet live), key facts and official source. Use this first when the country is not yet known or you need to check whether a country is supported. Takes no arguments. For depth on one country use get_track_info instead.

Output parameters:

- `disclaimer` (string): Independent-app notice; always show it with the facts.
- `tracks` (array)

### `get_track_info` (~147 tokens)

The default tool for "how does the citizenship test work in <country>?". Returns the test name, format, number of questions, duration and pass mark where officially published (some are not, and those fields say so), status, a short explanation, the six study levels, FAQ, the official source and the Civica guide URL. It already includes the official source link, so call get_official_sources only if that link is all you need. Errors with the list of valid countries if the country is unknown.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Country name or id, e.g. "UK", "United Kingdom", "de", "Germany". Use list_tracks for valid values.

Output parameters:

- `about` (string)
- `country` (string)
- `disclaimer` (string): Independent-app notice; always show it with the facts.
- `facts` (array): Key facts such as format, duration and pass mark.
- `faq` (array)
- `guideUrl` (string): Civica study guide page for this country.
- `id` (string): Track id, usable as the country argument.
- `levels` (array)
- `officialSource` (object): The official government source to verify against.
- `status` (string): in_force, or preview_not_in_force when announced but not yet live.
- `summary` (string)
- `test` (string): Name of the test or exam.

### `get_official_sources` (~127 tokens)

Returns only the official government link (study guide or test page) and status for one country, with nothing else. Use it when the user asks where to verify requirements or find the official study material. Prefer this link over any third-party site, and always point learners to it before they book or sit a test. For the test format and pass mark use get_track_info; for practice material use get_sample_questions.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Country name or id, e.g. "UK", "United Kingdom", "de", "Germany". Use list_tracks for valid values.

Output parameters:

- `country` (string)
- `disclaimer` (string): Independent-app notice; always show it with the facts.
- `officialSource` (object): The official government source to verify against.
- `status` (string)

### `get_sample_questions` (~158 tokens)

Returns free multiple-choice practice questions for one country, each with four options, the zero-based answerIndex of the correct option and a short explanation. Use it when the user wants to practise, be quizzed or see example questions. Clients that support MCP Apps show it as an interactive quiz card. This is a small free sample, not the full question bank (that is on the Civica site, see moreAt), and questions are independent study checks, not official exam questions.

Input parameters:

- `count` (integer): How many questions (default 5, max 10).
- `country` (string, required): Country name or id, e.g. "UK", "United Kingdom", "de", "Germany". Use list_tracks for valid values.

Output parameters:

- `country` (string)
- `disclaimer` (string): Independent-app notice; always show it with the facts.
- `moreAt` (string): Where to find the full question bank.
- `questions` (array)

### `how_to_start` (~127 tokens)

Returns the link a learner can open to start studying for one country: the Civica guide page and a direct start link that opens the free course (no account needed), plus the notice that Civica is operated at citizenleap.com. Use it when the user is ready to begin studying on Civica. It does not return test facts or official sources; use get_track_info or get_official_sources for those.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Country name or id, e.g. "UK", "United Kingdom", "de", "Germany". Use list_tracks for valid values.

Output parameters:

- `country` (string)
- `disclaimer` (string): Independent-app notice; always show it with the facts.
- `guideUrl` (string)
- `note` (string)
- `operator` (string): States the domain Civica is operated at, so the links can be trusted.
- `startUrl` (string): Opens the free course for this country.
- `status` (string)
