## 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 check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP.
  - 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**: 74/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1097 tokens (~84/item across 13 items; 13 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 30/100
  - Stability observed for 9 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 67/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% 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 13 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 14 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-09-20 (score 56)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (13)

### `etf_search` (~77 tokens)

Find US listed ETFs by ticker, fund name, or a word from the name. Use this FIRST when the user names a fund loosely, then etf_profile with the ticker it returns. Refuses rather than returning a near match.

Input parameters:

- `desk` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required)

### `etf_profile` (~55 tokens)

Everything ETFIQ publishes about one fund: issuer, desk, and each figure with its source and as-of date, plus a one sentence verdict on how it did against what its own label promises.

Input parameters:

- `ticker` (string, required)

### `etf_holdings` (~70 tokens)

What a fund holds, by weight, and how old that is. ALWAYS read lag_days before presenting it: an issuer file read today and a filing from two months ago both come back here and are not the same answer.

Input parameters:

- `ticker` (string, required)
- `top_n` (integer)

### `etf_theme` (~82 tokens)

Every US listed fund in a theme, largest first, with what each charges and how much of it is already in the S&P 500. USE THIS for any "what X ETFs are there" or "top X ETFs" question: it returns the whole published set rather than a sample.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `theme` (string, required)

### `etf_themes` (~36 tokens)

Every theme ETFIQ publishes and how many funds each holds. Call when unsure what a theme is called, then etf_theme.

### `etfiq_page` (~97 tokens)

Read ANY published ETFIQ page as text: a theme hub, a ranking, a comparison of two funds, an issuer, a methodology note, a dated study. Takes a path like /themes/cyber or a full etfiq.com URL. This reaches all 40,000 pages, including everything the typed tools above do not cover, and returns the page content rather than its navigation.

Input parameters:

- `path` (string, required)

### `etfiq_sections` (~47 tokens)

What ETFIQ publishes, section by section, with a page count for each. Start here when the question is not about one fund: it names every section and what is in it.

### `etfiq_list` (~82 tokens)

The pages inside one section, optionally filtered to those whose address contains a word. Use after etfiq_sections to find a page, then etfiq_page to read it. The count returned is the whole matching set even when the list is capped.

Input parameters:

- `contains` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `section` (string, required)

### `etf_screen` (~120 tokens)

Every fund matching some filters, largest first, each with its net assets and the source and date that figure came from. Use for "find me all X" questions rather than repeated searches. Fees are percentages, not basis points. Funds with no published size are set aside from a size filter and counted in no_size_figure rather than treated as small.

Input parameters:

- `desk` (string)
- `issuer` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `max_fee_pct` (number)
- `min_assets_usd` (number)

### `etf_overlap` (~83 tokens)

How much of their weight two funds hold in common, as ETFIQ published it on the comparison page for that pair. Use when asked whether two ETFs are the same thing, or whether owning both adds anything. Refuses rather than estimating when the pair is not compared or either holdings book is incomplete.

Input parameters:

- `a` (string, required)
- `b` (string, required)

### `etfiq_as_of` (~92 tokens)

What ETFIQ published on a given date, from its frozen dated archive. Use when a question is about a past date, or when a figure needs to stay true after it is quoted: every other tool here answers about today and today moves overnight. Takes YYYY-MM-DD. Covers the pieces written that night, not an arbitrary per-fund figure on an arbitrary day.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string, required)

### `etf_holders` (~115 tokens)

Which US listed ETFs hold a given company, ranked by how much of each fund it is. USE THIS for any "which ETFs hold X", "which fund holds the most X", or "how do I get exposure to X" question, where X is a company rather than a fund. Takes a company name or its ticker. Returns every holder with the weight its issuer published and the date that book was filed. Covers 31,019 companies.

Input parameters:

- `company` (string, required)
- `limit` (integer)

### `etf_rankings` (~79 tokens)

The ranked lists ETFIQ publishes, or one of them. Each ranks ONE published figure inside a stated set: the cheapest funds in a theme, the leveraged funds furthest from their stated multiple, the buffer funds closest to their cap. Call with no argument for the list.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `slug` (string)

## Common questions

### What is the ETFIQ MCP server?

ETFIQ is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.etfiq/etfiq. Independent US ETF data: holdings, fees, overlap, returns, each with its source and date. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.etfiq.com).

### Is the ETFIQ MCP server safe to use?

ETFIQ scores 66 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 ETFIQ MCP server expose?

ETFIQ exposes 13 tools: etf_search, etf_profile, etf_holdings, etf_theme, etf_themes, and 8 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,035 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the ETFIQ MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the ETFIQ MCP server still maintained?

ETFIQ is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 29 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
