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 Security46
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 12 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability58
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1961 tokens (~163/item across 12 items; 12 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage72
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 17% 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 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 12 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities20
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

These are gaps on our side, not findings about this hosted endpoint. We only credit what we can confirm, so a category made up entirely of them scores 0.
- Authorization in Endpoint SecurityAuthorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 12 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.

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.

How do I install the com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder MCP server?
com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder is a hosted endpoint at https://qualify.dropwatchhq.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.

What is the com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder MCP server?
com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder. Find federal and public grants a business may qualify for, with eligibility and links. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://qualify.dropwatchhq.com/mcp).
Is the com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder MCP server safe to use?
com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder scores 65 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 com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder MCP server expose?
com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder exposes 12 tools: qualify_check, grail_value, grail_appraise, missed_credits_scan, realtor_copilot, and 7 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,961 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

No. We connected to com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder MCP server still maintained?
com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What did VerifyMCP test on the com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder MCP server?
VerifyMCP ran 12 checks on com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder, covering TLS certificate, HTTPS, HSTS header, DNSSEC and 8 more. One item could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about com.dropwatchhq/grant-finder: Authorization. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
