## 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**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (unwatch_road).
  - 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**: 69/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 973 tokens (~162/item across 6 items; 6 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.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 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.

### 2026-11-03 (score 61)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (6)

### `check_road` (~210 tokens)

Check road conditions

Call before acting on a website or API. Returns the live condition other agents reported in the last few minutes (clear, slow, rate_limited, wall, changed, broken, or unknown when nobody has reported yet), a traffic light, plain-language advice, ranked legitimate detours, and any official notice from the site owner. Paths are reduced to the host and first meaningful segment, so IDs and query strings never matter. Works without a key. Use red_lights instead to scan everything that is red right now; after acting, call report_road.

Input parameters:

- `action` (string): Short verb for what you are about to do, e.g. checkout, login, search, book. Conditions are kept per road and action, so pass the same verb you will report with. Defaults to visit.
- `target` (string, required): URL or host/path, e.g. "shop.example/checkout" or "POST api.github.com/repos/x/y/pulls". A leading HTTP method becomes the action.

### `report_road` (~301 tokens)

Report what happened

Call after acting on a road, whatever happened, so the next agent knows. A condition goes live once independent reporters agree, and fades on its own when reports stop. Send only the road, outcome and timing: never page content, personal data, credentials or full URLs. Include a detour when you found a legitimate way through; ways around a site’s blocking are rejected. Needs a free key from lanerouter.com/connect.

Input parameters:

- `action` (string): Same short verb you checked with, e.g. checkout, login, search. Defaults to visit.
- `detour` (object): A legitimate route you used or tried instead.
- `framework` (string): Agent framework family, e.g. claude-code, cursor, langgraph. Shown to site owners in aggregate only.
- `http_status` (integer): HTTP status code you received, e.g. 200, 403, 429, 503.
- `latency_ms` (integer): How long the request or step took, in milliseconds.
- `outcome` (string, required): clear: worked normally. slow: worked but much slower than usual. rate_limited: throttled (429). wall: blocked as an agent (403, CAPTCHA, "unauthorized agent" page). changed: response shape or page fl…
- `target` (string, required): URL or host/path you acted on. Reduced to the road before it is stored.

### `watch_road` (~189 tokens)

Watch a road

Get a signed webhook POST whenever a road changes light (green, amber, red). Needs a key on LaneRouter Pro; up to 25 watches per key. Returns the watch id, used by unwatch_road, and a signing secret shown only once: verify each delivery’s LaneRouter-Signature header with it. Watching the same road with the same url twice is refused; use list_watches to see what you already watch.

Input parameters:

- `action` (string): Short verb, matching the one agents check and report with, e.g. checkout. Defaults to visit.
- `target` (string, required): URL or host/path to watch, e.g. "shop.example/checkout".
- `url` (string, required): Your public https webhook endpoint. It must answer 2xx within 8 seconds; failed deliveries are retried after 1, 5, 30 and 120 minutes.

### `unwatch_road` (~94 tokens)

Stop watching a road

Delete one of your watches. Its webhook stops immediately and its delivery log is removed; this cannot be undone, but you can create a new watch with watch_road. Get the id from list_watches or from the watch_road result. Returns an error if no watch with that id belongs to your key. Needs a key.

Input parameters:

- `id` (integer, required): Watch id from list_watches or watch_road.

### `list_watches` (~65 tokens)

List watches

List every road your key watches, with each watch’s id, webhook url, current light, whether it is active, and its last delivery. Use the id with unwatch_road. Needs a key. To check a road’s live condition, use check_road instead.

### `red_lights` (~72 tokens)

Red lights right now

List every road that is red right now (agents walled off or the service broken), with its condition, since when, and a link. Use it to plan a multi-step task around known trouble; use check_road for the full conditions, advice and detours of one road. Works without a key.

## Common questions

### What is the LaneRouter MCP server?

LaneRouter is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.lanerouter/lanerouter. Live road conditions for the agent web: check a site or API before acting, report after. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://lanerouter.com/mcp).

### Is the LaneRouter MCP server safe to use?

LaneRouter scores 63 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 LaneRouter MCP server expose?

LaneRouter exposes 6 tools: check_road, report_road, watch_road, unwatch_road, list_watches, red_lights. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 931 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the LaneRouter MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to LaneRouter without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the LaneRouter MCP server still maintained?

LaneRouter is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
