## 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 2026-11-05.

- **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**: 69/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2290 tokens (~190/item across 12 items; 12 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 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 13 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).

### `search` (~141 tokens)

Search Players & Teams

Use this when you need a player_id or team_id, or the user names a player or team you have not resolved yet ('Jokic', 'Lamar Jackson', 'BOS'); it is accent- and typo-tolerant.

Input parameters:

### `find_game` (~210 tokens)

Find a Team’s Game

Use this when the user asks about one team's game on a date, its next or last game, or a specific meeting ('Lakers next game', 'Cowboys vs Eagles on November 23') and you need its game_id. Returns the team's game on that date, or its last three finished and next three games, with game_id, start time, state, week (NFL), score, page url and the pair's matchup page. Not for the whole slate (tonight_slate) or the history of a pair (head_to_head).

Input parameters:

Returns the pair's record over every meeting we hold and by season, this season's series, the last ten meetings with each one's top player, the series leaders, and the next game with its projected chance and margin. Not for a single game's preview: use game_projection with the game_id it returns.

Input parameters:

- `league` (string, required): League ("nba" or "nfl").

Returns season averages, efficiency (NBA: TS%, eFG%, USG%, BPM; NFL: yards, touchdowns, EPA), Keel Impact with its rank, current injury status and the last ten games. Not for on/off or teammate splits (player_splits_and_on_off) or prop lines (props_research).

Input parameters:

- `league` (string, required): League ("nba" or "nfl").
- `player_id` (integer, required): Numeric player ID from the search tool.

Returns the record, offensive/defensive/net rating (NFL: EPA per play and success rate) with league ranks, the roster and the last and next games with their game_id. Not for the whole league's standings (rankings_and_ratings) or two teams' history (head_to_head).

Input parameters:

- `league` (string, required): League ("nba" or "nfl").
- `season` (integer): Optional season year. Defaults to the current season.
- `team_id` (integer, required): Numeric team ID from the search tool.

Rankings, Standings & Player Ratings

Use this when the user asks for a league-wide list: standings, NBA Keel Impact player ratings, NFL EPA per play for offenses and defenses, or weekly power rankings ('top 10 NFL defenses by EPA'). Returns the ranked list with the url of its table (Pro adds the ratings' offense/defense, box prior, RAPM and on/off parts). Not for one team or player: use their profile.

Returns the league injury report, or for a player_id the shift in his team's win probability and spread and the teammates whose minutes or target/carry share rises. Not for a player's own injury status alone (player_profile has it).

Input parameters:

- `league` (string, required): League ("nba" or "nfl").
- `player_id` (integer): Optional numeric player ID to inspect his absence consequences (who absorbs his minutes/targets and how the projection moves). Omit for the league injury report.

### `game_projection` (~206 tokens)

Game Projection & Matchup Breakdown

Use this when the user asks who is favoured in one game, by how much, or how the two sides compare for it. Returns the pre-game win probability and projected margin, the sportsbook spread and total with the market's vig-free chance and the model against the line, recent ATS form, the teams compared, leaders, form, meetings and the injury report; a Pro account also gets factor weights, absence costs, position matchups and ATS records. Needs a game_id from tonight_slate or find_game. Not for picks or betting advice: Keel Stats gives neither.

Input parameters:

- `game_id` (integer, required): Numeric game ID (from tonight_slate, find_game or team_profile).
- `include_breakdown` (boolean): Set true (requires Keel Stats Pro) to include model factor weights, player absence costs, position matchups, and ATS records. Defaults to true when signed in with Pro.

### `defense_vs_position` (~205 tokens)

Defense vs Position & Pace

Use this when the user asks which teams allow the most or fewest to a position ('best matchups for centers', 'defenses vs TE'). Returns what every NBA or NFL team allows per game to each position group (NBA: G, F, C, with pace; NFL: QB, RB, WR, TE) with league ranks (1 = allows the most); window 'recent' (last 10 games) needs Pro. Not for one player's matchup (player_profile's next game).

Input parameters:

- `league` (string, required): League ("nba" or "nfl").
- `position` (string): Optional position group filter (NBA: "G", "F", "C"; NFL: "QB", "RB", "WR", "TE").
- `season` (integer): Optional season year. Defaults to the current season.
- `window` (string): Sample window: "season" (free) or "recent" (last 10 games, requires Pro).

### `props_research` (~295 tokens)

Player Props Research, Model & Cheat Sheet (Pro)

Use this when the user asks about a player's prop lines, how often he clears a line, book-by-book prices, or today's prop board. Returns, for a player_id, his upcoming lines, book-by-book odds and moves, line comparisons (averages, L5/L10/L20/season hit rates, model probability), his over/under/push record against closing lines and alternate ladders; without one, today's prop board (model probability and market edge, optionally for one game_id) and the daily cheat sheet. Requires Keel Stats Pro. Research only: it never gives a pick.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Optional date (YYYY-MM-DD) for the NBA daily prop board.
- `game_id` (integer): Optional numeric game ID to filter the daily prop board to a single game.
- `league` (string, required): League ("nba" or "nfl").

Keel Stats is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.keelstats/keel-stats. NBA and NFL stats: profiles, head-to-head, schedules, ratings, EPA, injuries, projections. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.keelstats.com/mcp).

### Is the Keel Stats MCP server safe to use?

Keel Stats scores 73 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Keel Stats MCP server expose?

Keel Stats exposes 12 tools: search, tonight_slate, find_game, head_to_head, player_profile, and 7 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,137 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
