## 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 2026-10-23.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - 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 4 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 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**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 549 tokens (~137/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-10-23 (score 68, +1)

## MCP tools (4)

### `search_docs` (~202 tokens)

Search Claude documentation (the guides and the API reference together) by keyword or phrase. Returns matching pages and API endpoints ranked by relevance, with snippets showing context around matches.

Input parameters:

- `kind` (string): Only return results of one kind: "prose_page" (guide pages), "api_sdk_method" (one API method, such as "Create a Message"), or "api_sdk_resource" (a group of endpoints, such as Messages).
- `limit` (number): Maximum results to return (default: 10, max: 50)
- `query` (string, required): Search query (keywords or phrase)
- `sdk_language` (string): Search this SDK's API reference together with the guides. Accepts an SDK language such as "python" or "typescript", or "http" (default — the language-neutral REST reference); unrecognized values fall…

### `get_navigation` (~66 tokens)

Get the documentation navigation structure. Returns tabs, groups, and pages organized hierarchically. Useful for browsing available documentation topics.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): Output format (default: markdown)
- `tab` (string): Filter to specific tab (e.g., developer-guide, api-reference)

### `get_doc` (~112 tokens)

Get the full content of a documentation page. Returns the page title, description, URL, and cleaned markdown content.

Input parameters:

- `path` (string, required): Documentation path (e.g., /docs/en/intro or intro) or a result URL from search_docs (e.g., https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/intro). For fuzzy lookup, use search_docs.
- `sdk_languages` (array): Only include code examples in these languages. Without it, pages include the examples in every language and are much longer.

### `get_api_endpoint` (~52 tokens)

Get detailed information about a specific API endpoint including parameters, request body, and responses.

Input parameters:

- `method` (string, required): HTTP method
- `path` (string, required): API path (e.g., /v1/messages)
