## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 66/100
  - 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 5 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 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**: 80/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 635 tokens (~127/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**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

## MCP tools (5)

### `search_models` (~181 tokens)

Search models

Search the live LLM pricing database by model name, provider, or id. Returns matching models with current input/output prices (USD per 1M tokens), context window, modality, and category. Use this to answer 'how much does <model> cost' or 'what models does <provider> offer'.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Filter by category, e.g. flagship, reasoning, budget, coding, embedding, fast, mid-tier.
- `limit` (number): Max results (default 20, max 50).
- `open_source` (boolean): If true, only open-source/open-weight models; if false, only proprietary.
- `query` (string): Free-text match against model name, provider, or id (e.g. 'claude', 'gpt-5', 'gemini flash'). Omit to list all.

### `get_model_pricing` (~103 tokens)

Get model pricing

Get full pricing and capability details for one model by its id (from search_models). Returns input/output/cached price per 1M tokens, blended cost, context window, modality, release date, and the modelpricewatch.com page URL.

Input parameters:

- `model_id` (string, required): The model id, e.g. 'anthropic-claude-opus-4-8' or 'openai-gpt-5-5'. Get ids from search_models.

### `compare_models` (~66 tokens)

Compare models

Compare 2–5 models side by side on price, context window, and capabilities, with a verdict on which is cheapest for input, output, and a typical blended workload.

Input parameters:

- `model_ids` (array, required): List of 2–5 model ids to compare (from search_models).

### `cheapest_models` (~164 tokens)

Find cheapest models

Find the cheapest current models, ranked by input price, output price, or a blended cost. The generic ranking covers generative text models (embeddings, OCR and realtime models are excluded — they price different work); pass category to rank a specific pool instead, e.g. 'embedding'. Use to answer 'what is the cheapest model for <use case>'.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Filter by category, e.g. flagship, reasoning, budget, coding, embedding.
- `limit` (number): How many to return (default 10, max 50).
- `open_source` (boolean): If true, only open-source models.
- `sort_by` (string): Ranking metric: 'input', 'output', or 'blended' (default 'blended').

### `list_providers` (~35 tokens)

List providers

List all tracked AI model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) with a short description and their pricing page.
