Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability64
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 695 tokens (~231/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management87
- Stability observed for 26 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage92
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 75% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the DiscoverSeniorBenefits MCP server?
DiscoverSeniorBenefits is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.discoverseniorbenefits.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.

The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
find_programs_by_zip Find benefit programs by ZIP code ~133
List the federal, state, and county senior-benefit programs that apply where a person lives, from their 5-digit ZIP code. Each program includes its cited government source URL, a last-verified date, and an apply-guide link on discoverseniorbenefits.com. Optionally filter by jurisdiction level or category keyword.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Case-insensitive keyword matched against each program's category (e.g. 'food', 'property tax', 'utilities'). |
| level | string | – | Only return programs at this jurisdiction level. |
| zip | string | yes | 5-digit US ZIP code. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_program_details Get benefit program details ~101
Full public details for one program by its id (ids come from find_programs_by_zip or run_eligibility_scan): description, cited government source, how to apply, documents required, and the apply-guide link on discoverseniorbenefits.com.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| program_id | string | yes | Program id, e.g. 'fed.msp.qmb'. |
| state | string | – | 2-letter state code; resolves state-specific application channels for federal programs. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
run_eligibility_scan Run a benefits eligibility check ~359
Check which senior-benefit programs a person likely qualifies for, using a deterministic rule engine tied to cited .gov sources — no AI guessing. Only age and zip_code are required; every extra field provided turns needs-more-info programs into definite answers. Include marital_status whenever known — many programs' income limits depend on it, so it resolves far more programs than most fields. The full guided check at https://discoverseniorbenefits.com/scan covers additional signals.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| age | integer | yes | Age of the person the check is for. |
| disability_status | boolean | – | – |
| has_cognitive_impairment | boolean | – | Memory loss, dementia, or a cognitive condition affecting daily judgment. |
| homeownership | string | – | – |
| household_income_annual | integer | – | Approximate annual household income in dollars. |
| household_size | integer | – | – |
| is_blind | boolean | – | – |
| is_us_citizen | boolean | – | – |
| marital_status | string | – | High-leverage: several income limits are set per single vs. couple, so those programs stay needs-more-info until this is provided. |
| needs_personal_care_assistance | boolean | – | Needs regular help with daily activities (bathing, meals, mobility). |
| resources_estimate | integer | – | Approximate countable savings/assets in dollars. |
| va_disability_rating | integer | – | VA disability rating (lower bound of the bucket). |
| veteran_status | string | – | Whether the person, spouse, or deceased spouse served. |
| wartime_service | boolean | – | 90+ days active duty with at least one day in a VA wartime period. |
| zip_code | string | yes | 5-digit US ZIP code. |
