## 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 2026-10-18.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 5 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, 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**: 76/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 468 tokens (~93/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - 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**: 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 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 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 (5)

### `find_cat_breed` (~111 tokens)

Match a cat description to likely breeds from furriq.com's curated database of 61 breeds. Describe what the cat looks like or how it behaves (coat pattern, body shape, ears, temperament) and get the top candidates with the specific markers that matched. Deterministic — no AI guessing.

Input parameters:

- `description` (string, required): Description of the cat, e.g. "large fluffy cat with a bushy tail and lynx-like ear tufts" or "small hairless wrinkly cat".

### `get_breed` (~75 tokens)

Get the full profile of one cat breed from furriq.com: physical identification markers, temperament traits, size/weight/lifespan/origin, health notes, and links to similar breeds.

Input parameters:

- `breed` (string, required): Breed slug or name, e.g. "norwegian-forest" or "Norwegian Forest Cat".

### `compare_breeds` (~75 tokens)

Compare two cat breeds side by side (identification markers, temperament, care) and, when the breeds are commonly confused, return furriq.com's "how to tell them apart" guidance.

Input parameters:

- `breedA` (string, required): First breed slug or name.
- `breedB` (string, required): Second breed slug or name.

### `list_breeds` (~31 tokens)

List all 61 cat breeds in the furriq.com database with size, origin, and category.

### `analyze_cat_photo` (~109 tokens)

Analyze a cat photo with AI vision and estimate the most likely breeds, with honest uncertainty. Provide a public image URL (or a data: URL). Limited to 10 analyses per day; a lighter deterministic alternative is find_cat_breed with a text description. For a full report, https://www.furriq.com/identify-cat-by-photo

Input parameters:

- `image_url` (string, required): Publicly fetchable http(s) or data: URL of a cat photo (JPEG/PNG/WebP).
