## 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**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 59/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2523 tokens (~315/item across 8 items; 8 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**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (8)

### `explain_guard_product` (~58 tokens)

Explain Guard Product

Explain the Guard product using CurrencyGuard's approved product and FAQ content. Covers: what the Guard is, how it works, who it is for, how it compares to forwards or options, and legal, regulatory, accounting, or eligibility questions.

### `get_forward_rate` (~215 tokens)

Get Forward FX Rate

Get an indicative forward FX rate for a currency pair at a specific tenor. Rates are derived from interest rate differentials, rounded, and for illustration purposes only — not for execution. Returns: forwardRate (indicative mid outright = spot + forward points), forwardPoints (in pips, e.g. -3.1 means the forward rate is 3.1 pips below spot), spotMid (indicative spot mid rate for comparison), settlementDate (the resolved business date for the tenor). Negative forward points mean the forward rate is below spot; positive means above. Example: base=GBP, quote=USD, tenor=3M returns the 3-month GBPUSD indicative forward rate.

Input parameters:

- `base` (string, required): Base currency ISO code, e.g. GBP
- `quote` (string, required): Quote currency ISO code, e.g. USD
- `tenor` (string, required): Tenor period, e.g. 1W, 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y

### `get_historic_best_worst` (~310 tokens)

Historic Best/Worst FX Performance

Analyze historic best/worst FX performance for a currency pair over a Guard's duration. Uses Bank of England historic rates. Returns a 'performances' array with 6 entries — BEST and WORST for each of three lookback periods (5, 10, 25 years). Each entry contains: type, lookbackYears, startDate/endDate, startRate/endRate, performancePercentage, startAmount, finalAmount, deltaAmount. For Guard-Pay: negative delta = cost decreased = BEST; positive delta = cost increased = WORST. For Guard-Receive: positive delta = receipt increased = BEST; negative delta = receipt decreased = WORST. Parameters must match the values used in the preceding price_guard call, including payReceive (PAY or RECEIVE).

Input parameters:

- `foreignAmount` (number, required): Amount in foreign currency — MUST match foreignAmount from price_guard
- `foreignCurrency` (string, required): Foreign currency ISO code — MUST match foreignCurrency from price_guard
- `guardAmount` (number, required): Guard amount in base/home currency from the Guard quote (the guardAmount field from the price_guard response)
- `guardCurrency` (string, required): Home/base currency ISO code — MUST match guardCurrency from price_guard
- `payReceive` (string, required): MUST be the exact same payReceive value you used in price_guard (PAY or RECEIVE). Do NOT change it.
- `settlementDate` (string, required): Settlement date in ISO format YYYY-MM-DD — MUST match settlementDate from price_guard

### `get_spot_rate` (~86 tokens)

Get Spot FX Rate

Get an indicative spot FX rate for a currency pair. Returns rounded bid, ask, and mid rates for illustration purposes only — not for execution. Example: base=GBP, quote=USD returns the GBPUSD rate.

Input parameters:

- `base` (string, required): Base currency ISO code, e.g. GBP
- `quote` (string, required): Quote currency ISO code, e.g. USD

### `list_supported_currencies` (~31 tokens)

List Supported Currencies

List all supported currency pairs available for Guard pricing: GBPUSD, GBPEUR, and EURUSD.

### `price_guard` (~219 tokens)

Price a Guard

Price a Guard — CurrencyGuard's FX protection product for real future payments or receipts. If a tenor like '3 months' is given, call resolve_settlement_date first to get the exact date, then call this tool. Returns: guardType (Guard-Pay or Guard-Receive), guardRate, guardFee, guardFeePercent, effectiveRate, guardAmount (home currency equivalent), foreignAmount, spotRate, settlementDate, settlementWindowOpens, valid, errors. All quotes are indicative.

Input parameters:

- `foreignAmount` (number, required): Amount in foreign currency to protect
- `foreignCurrency` (string, required): Foreign currency ISO code, e.g. USD
- `guardCurrency` (string, required): Home/base currency ISO code, e.g. GBP
- `guardRate` (number): Optional fixed guard rate (strike) — if set, prices at this rate instead of current market
- `payReceive` (string, required): PAY if paying foreign currency, RECEIVE if receiving it
- `settlementDate` (string, required): Settlement date in ISO format YYYY-MM-DD

### `price_guard_extension` (~249 tokens)

Price Guard Extension

Get an indicative price for extending a Guard to a later settlement date. Estimates the additional cost using: (1) the guard fee difference between extended and original expiry, (2) the guard spread cost from the roll, and (3) the CurrencyGuard extension margin. Returns a breakdown: extensionCost = feeDifference + guardSpreadCost + extensionMargin. Both the original and extended quotes are priced at the same guard rate (the original quote's strike), so the fee difference reflects purely the longer tenor, not market movement. Use this when a customer asks 'how much would it cost to extend my Guard by X months?' Parameters match price_guard plus the two dates.

Input parameters:

- `extendedSettlementDate` (string, required): Extended (new) settlement date in ISO format YYYY-MM-DD
- `foreignAmount` (number, required): Amount in foreign currency to protect
- `foreignCurrency` (string, required): Foreign currency ISO code, e.g. USD
- `guardCurrency` (string, required): Home/base currency ISO code, e.g. GBP
- `originalSettlementDate` (string, required): Original settlement date in ISO format YYYY-MM-DD
- `payReceive` (string, required): PAY if paying foreign currency, RECEIVE if receiving it

### `resolve_settlement_date` (~185 tokens)

Resolve Settlement Date

Resolve a relative time period (tenor) to a valid business settlement date for a currency pair. Use this when a user says '3 months', '6 months', '1 year', etc. instead of an exact date. The tenor format is: 1D (days), 1W (weeks), 1M (months), 1Y (years). Examples: '3M' = 3 months, '6M' = 6 months, '1Y' = 1 year. The returned date accounts for weekends and public holidays in both currencies' financial centres. Use the returned settlementDate as the exact date parameter for price_guard.

Input parameters:

- `currencyPair` (string, required): Currency pair, e.g. GBPUSD
- `tenor` (string, required): Tenor string, e.g. 3M, 6M, 1Y
