## 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 2026-09-29.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - 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 406, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 70/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 477 tokens (~159/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 80/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 40% 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `list_esim_providers` (~206 tokens)

List eSIM providers for Kenya

Search and list eSIM providers available in Kenya, with pricing, ratings, coverage, and descriptive fields (best_for, ideal_for/not_ideal_for, pros/cons). Optionally filter by a Kenya destination slug (national park, city, airport, beach, or island) to see providers editorially recommended there, with park-level coverage notes when available. This is the primary lookup tool — reason over the returned structured fields yourself to answer "best for X" style questions rather than expecting a pre-computed ranking.

Input parameters:

- `badge` (string)
- `destination_slug` (string): Slug of a Kenya destination, e.g. "maasai-mara", "nairobi", "diani-beach". Filters to providers recommended for that location.
- `limit` (integer)
- `max_price_usd` (number)
- `min_rating` (number)
- `safari_coverage` (string)
- `sort_by` (string)

### `get_esim_provider` (~88 tokens)

Get eSIM provider details and plans

Get full details for a single eSIM provider by slug, including its review summary/verdict, key facts, FAQs, and every available plan (data amount, duration, price in USD). Use list_esim_providers first to find a provider slug.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Provider slug, e.g. "airalo", "holafly", "safari-esim".

### `compare_esim_providers` (~105 tokens)

Compare two eSIM providers for Kenya

Compare two eSIM providers by slug. Returns esimkenya.com's curated head-to-head verdict when one exists for that pair, otherwise returns both providers' full details side by side so you can compare them yourself. Use list_esim_providers first to find provider slugs.

Input parameters:

- `provider_a_slug` (string, required): First provider slug, e.g. "airalo".
- `provider_b_slug` (string, required): Second provider slug, e.g. "holafly".
