## 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 2026-09-25.

- **Endpoint Security**: 69/100
  - 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 404, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 524 tokens (~262/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Tools include usage examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 33/100
  - Stability observed for 10 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.
  - 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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## Install

### How do I install the FilmRightsProof MCP server?

FilmRightsProof is a hosted endpoint at https://filmrightsproof.davisvillelabs.com/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.

### 2026-09-25 (score 76, +1)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-09-23 (score 75, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-09-21 (score 74, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 17 to 20. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 5 days of observed history at the previous scan, 6 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (2)

### `filmrightsproof.search_public_records` (~200 tokens)

Search public copyright records

Search likely U.S. Copyright Office public records for a film, television, or underlying creative work. Use this free bounded search to identify candidates or evaluate applicability. If you need reconciled evidence, source-supported relationships, provenance, ambiguity, and freshness in one dossier, use filmrightsproof.trace_public_rights instead.

Input parameters:

- `creator` (string): Optional creator, author, writer, director, producer, or other credited name used to disambiguate similarly titled works.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of candidate public-record matches to return or inspect.
- `title` (string, required): Film, television, or underlying creative-work title to search in U.S. Copyright Office public records.
- `workType` (string): Optional work-type hint, such as motion picture, television, screenplay, book, or other underlying creative work.
- `year` (integer): Optional release, publication, creation, or registration year used to narrow candidate matches.

Output parameters:

- `candidates` (array)
- `coverage` (object)
- `evidenceGaps` (array)
- `freshness` (object)
- `legalNotice` (string)
- `query` (object)
- `schemaVersion`

### `filmrightsproof.trace_public_rights` (~224 tokens)

Trace public rights evidence

Trace a bounded film or television public-record rights dossier when an agent needs more than candidate lookup. Resolve the work, reconcile maintained Copyright Office evidence, build only source-supported relationships, and return provenance, ambiguity, and bounded freshness. $2 per completed authorized invocation. For candidate lookup or free applicability evaluation, use filmrightsproof.search_public_records instead. Not legal clearance, definitive ownership, exhaustive chain of title, or private-contract analysis.

Input parameters:

- `creator` (string): Optional creator, author, writer, director, producer, or other credited name used to disambiguate similarly titled works.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of candidate public-record matches to return or inspect.
- `title` (string, required): Film, television, or underlying creative-work title to search in U.S. Copyright Office public records.
- `workType` (string): Optional work-type hint, such as motion picture, television, screenplay, book, or other underlying creative work.
- `year` (integer): Optional release, publication, creation, or registration year used to narrow candidate matches.

Output parameters:

- `candidates` (array)
- `canonicalRequest` (object)
- `corpusVersion` (integer)
- `coverage` (object)
- `dossierId` (string)
- `edges` (array)
- `evidence` (object)

## Common questions

### What is the FilmRightsProof MCP server?

FilmRightsProof is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.davisvillelabs.filmrights/filmrightsproof. Film/TV public-record rights intelligence for AI agents with provenance and bounded verification. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://filmrightsproof.davisvillelabs.com/mcp).

### Is the FilmRightsProof MCP server safe to use?

FilmRightsProof scores 76 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 FilmRightsProof MCP server expose?

FilmRightsProof exposes 2 tools: filmrightsproof.search_public_records, filmrightsproof.trace_public_rights. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 424 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the FilmRightsProof MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to FilmRightsProof without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the FilmRightsProof MCP server still maintained?

FilmRightsProof is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
