## 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**: 46/100
  - 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 3 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 431 tokens (~143/item across 3 items; 3 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 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 (3)

### `request_data` (~88 tokens)

Tell us what data you are looking for (free)

FREE, no payment. Describe in your own words the data you are trying to buy — anything, not just food — and get back whether we operate a service that supplies it, with the MCP endpoint if so. Every request is catalogued so repeatedly-requested data gets built. Nothing identifying is stored, only the words of the request.

Input parameters:

- `need` (string, required): What you are looking for.

### `demand_report` (~57 tokens)

What agents are asking for most (free)

FREE, no payment. The aggregate of what agents have told us they are looking for, most-requested first, with the categories nothing available yet serves.

Input parameters:

- `days` (string): Window in days, default 30, max 90.

### `food_by_barcode` (~156 tokens)

Packaged food facts by barcode

Look up a packaged food by its barcode and get the fields that answer "can this person eat this?" — ingredients, allergens, traces, additives, Nutri-Score, NOVA processing group and per-100g nutrition. Data is from Open Food Facts, which is crowd-sourced and openly licensed: coverage is uneven by country and a product can be listed with most nutrition empty, so every response carries a completeness flag and missing values are null rather than estimated. A barcode not in the database returns not_found and is NOT charged. Costs $0.005 USDC per call via x402 on Base.

Input parameters:

- `barcode` (string, required): 6-14 digit product barcode, e.g. '737628064502'.
