## 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 2026-08-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 60/100
  - 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 is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 65/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 889 tokens (~296/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**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **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**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

### 2026-08-20 (score 62)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (3)

### `search_domains` (~351 tokens)

Searches domains listed for sale on the Nameshift marketplace. Returns a page of matching domains with pricing, plus pagination cursors and TLD facet counts on the first page.

Input parameters:

- `buyNowOnly` (boolean): When true (default), only return domains with a buy-now price — the ones buy_domain can purchase.
- `cursor` (string): Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response (nextCursor or previousCursor). Pass it back unchanged to fetch that page.
- `limit` (integer): Results per page (max 25).
- `locale` (string): Locale used for the returned landing-page URLs, e.g. "en" or "nl-nl".
- `maxLength` (integer): Maximum domain name length, excluding the TLD.
- `maxPrice` (integer): Maximum buy-now price in major currency units (each seller's own currency).
- `minPrice` (integer): Minimum buy-now price in major currency units (each seller's own currency).
- `noDigits` (boolean): Exclude domains containing digits.
- `noHyphens` (boolean): Exclude domains containing hyphens.
- `query` (string): Free-text search over domain names and descriptions. A full domain name (e.g. "coffee.com") boosts exact matches.
- `semantic` (boolean): When true, also matches the query semantically against domain descriptions (e.g. "a name for a coffee brand"). Only useful together with query.
- `sort` (string): Sort order. "relevance" uses the search score, or domain authority when no query is given.
- `tlds` (array): Only include these TLDs, e.g. ["com", "io"].

### `get_domain_details` (~85 tokens)

Returns sale details for one domain listed on the Nameshift marketplace: pricing, availability and whether it can be bought instantly with buy_domain.

Input parameters:

- `domainName` (string, required): Full domain name including the TLD, e.g. "example.com".
- `locale` (string): Locale used for the returned landing-page URL, e.g. "en" or "nl-nl".

### `buy_domain` (~346 tokens)

Creates a real purchase order for a domain with a buy-now price and returns a checkout URL where the buyer completes billing details and payment in a browser. Nothing is charged until the buyer pays there. Only the email is required; name, address and company details are optional and prefill the checkout page — pass only details the buyer explicitly provided or confirmed, never guessed ones. Always confirm the exact domain name, its price (see get_domain_details) and the buyer email address with the user before calling this tool.

Input parameters:

- `addressCity` (string): City of the billing address.
- `addressCountryCode` (string): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code of the billing address, e.g. "NL". This drives tax calculation and available payment methods.
- `addressLine1` (string): First line of the billing address.
- `addressLine2` (string): Second line of the billing address.
- `addressPostalCode` (string): Postal or ZIP code of the billing address.
- `addressStateCode` (string): State or province code of the billing address, when applicable.
- `company` (object): Company billing details when the buyer purchases as a business. Omit entirely for private buyers.
- `domainName` (string, required): Full domain name including the TLD, e.g. "example.com".
- `email` (string, required): Email address of the buyer. Order updates and the payment confirmation are sent here.
- `firstName` (string): Buyer first name.
- `lastName` (string): Buyer last name.
- `locale` (string): Locale for the checkout page and buyer emails, e.g. "en" or "nl-nl".
