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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability80
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1840 tokens (~184/item across 10 items; 8 tools + 2 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management90
- Stability observed for 27 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 10 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
check_mover_licence Check a mover's licence record ~161
Looks a moving company up in the official register: for the United States, the FMCSA census by USDOT, MC, or legal name, with live operating authority, insurance on file, and safety rating when available; for the United Kingdom, Companies House by name or number. Returns the official record URL to confirm on. For Canada it explains the provincial checks instead. Use it before anyone pays a deposit or when a quote names a USDOT.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| market | string | – | us (FMCSA, default), uk (Companies House), or ca (guidance only; Canada has no federal mover licence). |
| query | string | yes | USDOT number, MC number, or company legal name (US); company name or number (UK). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
estimate_moving_cost Estimate moving cost ~267
Returns Haulest's research planning range (low and high, with currency) for a household move in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom, from home size and distance. Pass a distance band, a mileage, or an origin and destination; the tool resolves the distance from stored route data where it can. The range is compiled from published industry tables and public quotes, not a bid from a mover. Use it when someone asks what a move might cost.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| distanceBand | string | – | Distance band when known: local (under 50 mi; UK under 20), regional, mid, long, cross-country. |
| from | string | – | Origin city or town, or a ZIP or postcode, e.g. "Austin, TX", "78701", or "London". |
| homeSize | string | yes | Home size: studio, 1bed, 2bed, 3bed, or 4bed (4bed covers larger homes). |
| market | string | – | Country: us, ca, or uk. Inferred from the places when omitted; defaults to us. |
| miles | number | – | Driving distance in miles when the user already knows it. |
| to | string | – | Destination city or town, or a ZIP or postcode. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
find_movers Find movers near a place ~246
Lists moving companies Haulest holds dated, attributed reviews for in a city, state, province, or country (US, Canada, UK), with the average rating, the number of reviews on record, the newest review date, the USDOT number where there is one, and the profile URL. Ratings are means of real reviews on record; Haulest does not rank companies by payment. Use it when someone wants movers in a place; follow with the profile tool for one company.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | How many companies to return, up to 10 (larger values return 10). Default 6. |
| market | string | – | Country to prefer when a place name exists in more than one: us, ca, or uk. |
| minReviews | integer | – | Only companies with at least this many dated reviews on record. |
| place | string | yes | City, state or province, country, or a ZIP or postcode, e.g. "Denver, CO", "Ontario", "Manchester", "Canada", "80202", "M5V". |
| sort | string | – | recommended (default), newest review, highest rating, or lowest rating. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_mover_profile Get a mover's profile ~129
One moving company in detail from its Haulest profile: rating and review counts, the three newest dated reviews, licence identifiers (USDOT, MC) with the live FMCSA authority and insurance summary when available, the company's own phone number from a public record, what reviewers paid, short checkable strengths and questions to ask, and the profile URL. Use it after find_movers or when someone names a company that has a Haulest page.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | yes | The company slug from find_movers, or the last part of a haulest.com/movers/... URL. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_moving_checklist Get a moving checklist ~83
Returns one of Haulest's checklists in full, grouped by section: the 8-week countdown, moving day, the first-night box, change of address for the US, Canada, or UK, or the 12-week international list. Use it when someone wants a to-do list for a move.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| list | string | yes | Which checklist. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_route_facts Get route facts ~120
Facts about a city-to-city moving lane that Haulest has a route page for: driving miles and hours, the research cost range by home size, how many households moved between the two states in the latest Census flow, and the page URL. Covers the main US, Canadian, and UK lanes. Use it when someone names both ends of a move; returns a clear not-covered message otherwise.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| from | string | yes | Origin city, e.g. "Austin" or "Austin, TX". |
| to | string | yes | Destination city. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
request_moving_quotes Request moving quotes ~409
Submits a quote request to Haulest so licensed movers can call and email the person with written estimates for the move. Haulest is not a carrier; it introduces the request to movers through its lead desk, and in the US and UK the desk may phone within minutes. Call this only after the person has given their name, phone, and email for this purpose and has explicitly agreed to be contacted (consent must be true); confirm the details back to them first. Each call creates one request; a repeat with the same phone or email within a day is recognised and not duplicated. Returns a request reference and what happens next.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| callWindow | string | – | Best time to call. |
| consent | boolean | yes | Must be true: the person has explicitly agreed that Haulest may share these details with licensed movers who will call and email about this move. |
| dateFlex | string | – | How fixed the date is. |
| string | yes | Their email. | |
| excludeMoverSlug | string | – | Haulest slug of a company the person does NOT want quotes from, e.g. one they already have a quote from. |

| homeSize | string | yes | studio, 1bed, 2bed, 3bed, or 4bed. |
| moveDate | string | yes | Planned move date, YYYY-MM-DD, today or later. |
| moveType | string | – | local, distance (long distance), or international. |
| name | string | yes | The person's name. |
| notes | string | – | Anything else the movers should know: stairs, piano, elevator booking, access. |
| packing | string | – | Packing wanted: full pack, fragile only, or self pack. |
| phone | string | yes | A phone number the movers may call. |
| storage | boolean | – | Storage needed. |
| to | string | yes | Where it ends. |

search_moving_guides Search Haulest guides ~142
Searches Haulest's written guides, calculators, and checklists about hiring movers, estimates, deposits, consumer rights (US interstate rules, UK and Canadian practice), packing, and timing. Returns each match's title, one-paragraph answer, and URL. Use it for how-to and what-does-this-mean questions about moving.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | How many results, up to 8 (larger values return 8). Default 5. |
| query | string | yes | What the person wants to know, e.g. "binding estimate", "tipping movers", "deposit", "damage claim", "when to book". |
