## 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. 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.
  - 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**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1276 tokens (~212/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 50/100
  - Stability observed for 15 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 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 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 (6)

### `search_parliament` (~178 tokens)

Search the Parliament

Use this when you need to find a European Parliament dossier (legislative or non-legislative procedure), an MEP, a committee, a political group or an EP document by name, topic or reference, and you do not know its id yet. Returns up to 15 matching records with their ids and epvotes.com urls; pass an id to get_dossier or get_mep next. Matches words in titles and names (e.g. "digital euro", "Metsola", "ECON", "2023/0212(COD)"). Do not use it for votes of a day; use list_votes.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Words to match: a dossier title, procedure reference, MEP name, committee code or document number.
- `type` (string): Limit the search to one kind of record.

### `list_votes` (~207 tokens)

List plenary votes

Use this when the user asks what the European Parliament voted on a sitting day, this week, between two dates or on a subject, e.g. "what did Parliament vote today" or "votes on Ukraine in October". Without arguments it returns the latest sitting day; with only a query it searches the last 92 days. Votes are grouped by agenda item; each item has its deciding (final) vote with result and totals and the ids of its other votes for get_vote. Lists at most 40 items.

Input parameters:

- `day` (string): One sitting day, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `from` (string): Start of a date range, YYYY-MM-DD (with to).
- `query` (string): Keep only agenda items whose topic, title or vote labels contain these words, e.g. "psychosocial".
- `this_week` (boolean): All votes of the current week.
- `to` (string): End of a date range, YYYY-MM-DD (with from).

### `get_vote` (~166 tokens)

Get a roll-call vote

Use this when you need the result of one European Parliament roll-call vote: totals, the split by political group and by country, the dossier it belongs to, and optionally how individual MEPs voted. Takes a vote id from list_votes, get_dossier or get_mep (or an epvotes.com/votes/<id> url). Set members to a group (e.g. "EPP", "S&D") or a country code (e.g. "DE", "FRA") to list those MEPs' votes.

Input parameters:

- `members` (string): Optional: list individual MEP votes for one political group or one country. "all" lists every MEP.
- `vote_id` (string, required): The numeric vote id, e.g. "198885".

### `get_dossier` (~138 tokens)

Get a dossier

Use this when the user asks about one European Parliament dossier (procedure): what it is, its type, lead committee, rapporteurs, the steps so far in Parliament, its plenary votes, and the Legislative Observatory summary. Takes a procedure reference such as "2023/0212(COD)" or an id such as "2023-0212" (use search_parliament first if you only know the title).

Input parameters:

- `dossier` (string, required): Procedure reference "2023/0212(COD)" or id "2023-0212".
- `votes_page` (integer): Page of plenary votes, 50 per page.

### `get_mep` (~241 tokens)

Get an MEP's record

Use this when the user asks about one Member of the European Parliament: country, political group, committees, how often they vote with their group, where they broke with it, and their recent roll-call votes. Takes an MEP id or a name. Set topic to keep only votes whose label, agenda item topic or dossier title contains those words (e.g. "digital euro", "Mercosur"). Set from and to to read one period; page through all votes of the term with page.

Input parameters:

- `from` (string): Optional: only votes on or after this day, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `mep` (string, required): The MEP id (e.g. "124834") or name (e.g. "Martin Sonneborn").
- `page` (integer): Page of votes, 25 per page, newest first (400 pages reach 10,000 votes; use from and to for older votes of a busy term).
- `to` (string): Optional: only votes on or before this day, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `topic` (string): Optional: only votes whose label, agenda item topic or dossier title contains these words.

### `compare_groups` (~145 tokens)

Compare political groups

Use this when the user wants to compare how two or three European Parliament political groups voted across recent final votes on texts (amendments left out), e.g. "how often did EPP and S&D vote the same way". Groups: The Left, S&D, Greens/EFA, Renew, EPP, ECR, PfE, ESN.

Input parameters:

- `from` (string): Optional start date, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `groups` (array, required): Two or three group names, e.g. ["EPP", "S&D"].
- `limit` (integer): Newest votes to compare.
- `to` (string): Optional end date, YYYY-MM-DD.
