## 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 2026-09-26.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - 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 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**: 76/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 720 tokens (~144/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 7/100
  - Stability observed for 2 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)

### `search-huts` (~210 tokens)

Search Alpine mountain huts by country, region, name, access difficulty, minimum elevation or proximity to a point. Returns a page of hut summaries with slugs for get-hut.

Input parameters:

- `difficulty` (string): Access difficulty.
- `min_elevation` (integer): Minimum elevation in metres.
- `near` (string): "latitude,longitude" to search around, e.g. "46.02,7.75".
- `page` (integer): Page number, from 1.
- `per_page` (integer): Results per page (max 100).
- `q` (string): Free-text match on the hut name.

Get Hut Tool

Get the full record for one hut: location, elevation, season, capacity, facilities, booking, contact, access routes, FAQs and photos with credits.

Input parameters:

### `get-hut-availability` (~107 tokens)

Get Hut Availability Tool

Free beds per night for one hut, where we hold data. Most huts have none: the answer then says coverage "none" with a machine-readable reason and the hut's booking link, which is a correct answer to pass on.

- `slug` (string, required): Hut slug from search-huts.
- `to` (string): Last night, YYYY-MM-DD (default 30 days after from).

### `list-guides` (~46 tokens)

List Guides Tool

List published route and region guides (e.g. Alta Via 1, Tour du Mont Blanc, Julian Alps), each with its URL and the slugs of the huts it discusses.
