## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation.
  - 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**: 65/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 413 tokens (~413/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 77/100
  - Stability observed for 23 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 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 2 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).

## MCP tools (1)

### `estimate_family_trip_budget` (~317 tokens)

Estimate a family trip budget

Estimate what a family trip costs, broken down by getting there, staying, eating, getting around, parks and activities, and extras, with a low to high range, the source and date behind every figure, and a confidence score. Works for city trips, all-inclusive resorts, cruises and theme parks. Figures come from Endless Travel Plans' verified price data and the observed fares and room rates of real family budgets, never live prices; follow calculator_url for live prices. Places ETP has no data for come back as unsupported rather than a guess.

Input parameters:

- `adults` (integer, required): Adults travelling.
- `children_ages` (array): Age of each child, one entry per child (ages decide seats, tickets and meal prices). Empty for no children.
- `departure_city` (string): Home city or airport the family leaves from, for getting there. Without it, flights use a typical distance and say so.
- `destination` (string, required): Where the family is going: a city ("Chicago"), a theme park ("Walt Disney World"), a beach area for an all-inclusive ("Cancun"), or a cruise ("Royal Caribbean Caribbean cruise").
- `month` (string): Month of travel, as a name ("July") or number ("7"). Defaults to about two months out.
- `nights` (integer, required): Nights away.
- `style` (string): Travel style. Defaults to moderate.
- `trip_type` (string): city, all_inclusive, cruise or theme_park. Inferred from the destination when left out.

## Common questions

### What is the Family Trip Budget MCP server?

Family Trip Budget is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.endlesstravelplans/family-trip-budget. Family trip cost estimates with a sourced, dated range for every line, from Endless Travel Plans. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://www.endlesstravelplans.com/mcp).

### Is the Family Trip Budget MCP server safe to use?

Family Trip Budget scores 82 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 Family Trip Budget MCP server expose?

Family Trip Budget exposes 1 tool: estimate_family_trip_budget. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 317 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Family Trip Budget MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the Family Trip Budget MCP server still maintained?

Family Trip Budget 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 Family Trip Budget MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on Family Trip Budget, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 9 more. 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.
