## 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 2026-09-21.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - 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 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**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 306 tokens (~306/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 100/100
  - No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.
- **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 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

### `check_ai_visibility` (~261 tokens)

Check AI Visibility

Check whether a business is visible to AI answer engines. Runs each query through a live AI search (Perplexity) and reports whether the business's site is cited, at what rank, and who gets cited instead. Pass 1-5 realistic customer-intent questions — what a potential customer would actually ask an AI (e.g. "best kitchen remodeler in Clearwater FL"). Never include the business's own name in a query. Returns a 0-100 visibility score, a tier, per-query results, the competing sources AI cited, and a shareable branded scorecard link.

Input parameters:

- `business_name` (string): Business name as customers say it (improves mention detection)
- `domain` (string, required): Business website domain, e.g. acme-plumbing.com
- `email` (string): Optional. Justin also offers a free human-run deep-dive fix report (wider query set, drafted the minute they ask, reviewed by Justin, delivered same day). If the user says they want it, ask for their…
- `queries` (array, required): 1-5 customer-intent questions to test (without the business name)

Output parameters:

- `queries_checked` (integer): Queries that completed (errored queries are excluded from scoring).
- `queries_cited` (integer): Queries where the business was cited or named.
- `results` (array): Per-query outcome, in the order the queries were checked.
- `score` (integer): 0-100 visibility score: the share of checked queries where the business was cited.
- `scorecard_url` (string): Shareable branded scorecard page for this result.
- `tier` (string): Plain-language band for the score.
