## 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 2026-10-01.

- **Endpoint Security**: 83/100
  - 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 is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **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 871 tokens (~174/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**: 63/100
  - Stability observed for 19 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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **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 current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (5)

### `get_pricing` (~34 tokens)

Get pricing

What a Jobherder search costs and how to pay for it, in card and stablecoin terms. No auth required.

Output parameters:

- `card_checkout` (string): URL for card payment
- `credits_are_per_product` (boolean): Always true: a quick credit cannot pay for a full search
- `free_searches` (boolean): Always false: registration grants no credits
- `packs` (array): Buyable credit packs
- `products` (array): The two things Jobherder sells
- `service` (string): Service name
- `x402`: Stablecoin payment terms, null if x402 is not configured

### `register_agent` (~85 tokens)

Register for an API key

Create an agent identity and receive an API key. Registration is free and includes no free searches.

Input parameters:

- `email` (string, required): Email that will own the account and receive results. Must be the job seeker's own address, and must match cfg_email on every later search
- `name` (string): Display name for the account. Optional; the profile name is used on documents regardless

Output parameters:

- `api_key` (string): Bearer token for every later call. Shown once and never again
- `email` (string): The address the account is registered to
- `error` (string): Present only on failure, e.g. "unauthorized" or "payment_required"
- `message` (string): What to do about the error, when one is present
- `next` (string): Suggested next call
- `note` (string)
- `owner_action_url` (string): Present only on account_owned_by_human. A person already owns this address, so no key can be issued here. Send them to this page to create one and paste it back

### `start_job_search` (~263 tokens)

Start a job search

Spend one credit to run a full search: 7 roles matched to the profile, each with a tailored CV and cover letter returned as markdown by get_search_status and emailed as PDFs. Requires an API key. With no credit left it returns an x402 PaymentRequired; retry the same call with the signed payment in _meta["x402/payment"] to pay in USDC and run immediately.

Input parameters:

- `cv_base64` (string): The job seeker's existing CV as a file, base64 encoded. PDF, DOCX or plain text, up to 10MB. Use cv_json instead if you have the CV as data rather than a file
- `cv_json` (object): The job seeker's existing CV as structured data, in the JSON Resume schema (jsonresume.org): basics, work, education, skills. Prefer this when you hold the CV as data — you do not need to render a fi…
- `cv_type` (string): Format of cv_base64: "pdf", "docx" or "txt". Ignored when cv_json is supplied
- `profile` (object, required): Who the job seeker is and what they want. Every field shapes matching, so guessing is worse than asking

Output parameters:

- `credits_remaining` (number): Credits left for this product after the spend
- `error` (string): Present only on failure, e.g. "unauthorized" or "payment_required"
- `message` (string): What happens next and roughly when, or what to do about the error
- `run_id` (string): Pass this to get_search_status to poll
- `status` (string): Run state at the moment of starting, normally "running"

### `quick_job_search` (~269 tokens)

Quick job match

The single best current role for a profile, with a tailored CV and cover letter, in minutes rather than an hour. $2.50 in USDC. Use this when you want one answer fast; use start_job_search when you want a shortlist of 7 to choose from. With no credit it returns an x402 PaymentRequired; retry the same call with the signed payment in _meta["x402/payment"].

Input parameters:

- `cv_base64` (string): The job seeker's existing CV as a file, base64 encoded. PDF, DOCX or plain text, up to 10MB. Use cv_json instead if you have the CV as data rather than a file

- `cv_type` (string): Format of cv_base64: "pdf", "docx" or "txt". Ignored when cv_json is supplied
- `profile` (object, required): Who the job seeker is and what they want. Every field shapes matching, so guessing is worse than asking

Output parameters:

- `credits_remaining` (number): Credits left for this product after the spend
- `error` (string): Present only on failure, e.g. "unauthorized" or "payment_required"
- `message` (string): What happens next and roughly when, or what to do about the error
- `run_id` (string): Pass this to get_search_status to poll
- `status` (string): Run state at the moment of starting, normally "running"

### `get_search_status` (~60 tokens)

Check a search

Progress of a search, and the matched roles with the reason each was picked once it finishes.

Input parameters:

- `run_id` (string): The run_id returned by start_job_search or quick_job_search. Omit to get the most recent run for this account

Output parameters:

- `done` (boolean): True once the run has finished, whether or not it found anything
- `error` (string): Present only on failure, e.g. "unauthorized" or "payment_required"
- `finished_at`
- `matches` (array): The delivered roles, each with its tailored documents. Absent until the run succeeds
- `message` (string): Progress in plain language while running, or what to do about the error
- `plan` (string): Which product this run was: one_off or agent_quick
