## 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 2026-11-06.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - 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 (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 428 tokens (~214/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 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.

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-11-04 (score 74, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 17 to 20. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 5 days of observed history at the previous scan, 6 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-11-02 (score 73, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 10 to 13.

## MCP tools (2)

### `check_ai_visibility` (~156 tokens)

AI visibility check

Scores how well AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) can find, read and understand a website. Runs 30 checks in five groups: AI crawler access, what the homepage tells machines, structured data, entity and authority (Wikidata, Wikipedia, linked profiles) and AI-ready content (llms.txt, pricing, proof, docs, comparison pages). Returns a score out of 100, a grade, a score per group and every problem found, with the points it costs. Takes 10 to 30 seconds.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string, required): The website to check, as a domain such as example.com. A full URL also works; only the hostname is used.

### `check_ai_crawlers` (~162 tokens)

AI crawler checker

Shows which of 20 AI crawlers can read a website's homepage: AI search and answer bots (OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Googlebot, Bingbot and more) and AI training bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot and more). Applies the site's robots.txt rules per bot the way RFC 9309 and Google do, tests the firewall by fetching the homepage as a browser and as four AI bots, and reports llms.txt and sitemap lines. Takes about 10 seconds.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string, required): The website to check, as a domain such as example.com. A full URL also works; only the hostname is used.

## Common questions

### What is the Fourward AI visibility tools MCP server?

Fourward AI visibility tools is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.fourwardhq/fourward. Score any website's AI search visibility out of 100 and see which of 20 AI crawlers can read it. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://www.fourwardhq.com/mcp).

### Is the Fourward AI visibility tools MCP server safe to use?

Fourward AI visibility tools scores 75 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 Fourward AI visibility tools MCP server expose?

Fourward AI visibility tools exposes 2 tools: check_ai_visibility, check_ai_crawlers. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 318 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Fourward AI visibility tools MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the Fourward AI visibility tools MCP server still maintained?

Fourward AI visibility tools is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 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 Fourward AI visibility tools MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on Fourward AI visibility tools, 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.
