## 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 665 tokens (~221/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**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 93/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 78% 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.

## 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.

### 2026-11-04 (score 73, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-11-03 (score 72, +1)

- [security] The server rewrote its instructions, which are the text every model session reads
- [functional improvement] Stability: unverified → 0.03
- [functional] Schema quality: good → excellent

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (3)

### `search_prep_centers` (~298 tokens)

Search verified FBA prep centers

Use this when the user wants to find, compare, or filter Amazon FBA prep centers by name, US state, country, operator type, hazmat capability, or sales-tax-free location. Returns editorially verified centers with the date each was last verified and a link to its full profile. Do not use this for general Amazon FBA policy questions, FBA fee calculations, or for finding Amazon fulfillment centers.

Input parameters:

- `accepting_new_clients_only` (boolean)
- `country` (string): Country code. Defaults to all countries.
- `hazmat_confirmed_only` (boolean): Only centers we have positively confirmed accept hazmat. Most records are unconfirmed rather than negative, so this narrows results sharply.
- `limit` (integer)
- `operator_type` (string): prep_specialist is prep only, multi_service adds adjacent services, full_3pl is a full fulfillment provider. Small Amazon-only sellers usually want prep_specialist.
- `q` (string): Case-insensitive name search. Use this when the user names a specific prep center, for example 'Urva'. Matches anywhere in the center name.
- `state` (string): Two-letter US state or Canadian province code the user explicitly named, for example 'TX'. Do not infer this from the user's location.
- `tax_free_state_only` (boolean): Only centers in US sales-tax-free states (NH, OR, DE, MT, AK).

### `get_prep_center` (~67 tokens)

Get one prep center profile

Use this to look up the full verified record for a single Amazon FBA prep center by its slug, after search_prep_centers has returned that slug. Do not guess slugs.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): The center slug exactly as returned by search_prep_centers.

### `get_directory_summary` (~51 tokens)

Directory coverage summary

Use this when the user asks how many Amazon FBA prep centers exist in this directory, what countries or operator types are covered, or how current the verification is. Returns published counts by country and operator type.
