## 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**: 55/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 934 tokens (~233/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 53/100
  - Stability observed for 16 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 74/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 22% 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 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).

## MCP tools (4)

### `get_server_price_index` (~156 tokens)

Server price index

Current, dated rental price benchmarks. GPUs: on-demand and 12-month reserved median USD per GPU-hour, lowest on-demand listing, reserved price by term, and RentServers.com's published quote medians. Dedicated: entry floors, reference tiers and Hetzner/OVHcloud SKU prices. VPS: cheapest and median by size.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Defaults to gpu, or dedicated when model is a server SKU.
- `model` (string): GPU (h100, h200, b200, gb200, a100, l40s) or server (ax102, ax42, advance-2, scale-a1, game-1).
- `region` (string): Filters published quote medians.

### `calculate_36_month_tco` (~296 tokens)

36-month TCO scorecard

Normalizes server costs over 36 months (or horizon_months): rent with announced price changes and an assumed yearly rise, setup fees, extra IPv4, egress overage, add-ons. Either pass incumbent_sku (an id from audit_2026_provider_repricing, e.g. ovh-advance-2-2026 or hetzner-ax102-1) with quantity, or pass scorecard: a full input with several quotes to compare (role incumbent|bid, units, pricing{base, unit month|gpu_hour, gpusPerUnit, promo}, setupFeePerUnit, extraIPv4, egress, sla, deliveryDays). Anything not stated is flagged and counted as $0.

Input parameters:

- `annual_escalation_pct` (number)
- `egress_tb_per_month` (number)
- `eur_usd` (number): USD per EUR; defaults to the latest ECB reference rate
- `extra_ipv4` (integer)
- `horizon_months` (integer)
- `included_tb_per_server` (number)
- `incumbent_sku` (string)
- `ipv4_monthly_each_usd` (number)
- `overage_usd_per_tb` (number)
- `quantity` (integer)
- `scorecard` (object): Full ScorecardInput, as used by rentservers.com/tools/36-month-tco/

### `audit_2026_provider_repricing` (~111 tokens)

2026 provider repricing

Hetzner (April 1 and June 15, 2026) and OVHcloud (July/August option and configuration changes, renewals from October 1, 2026) price changes by SKU, with renewal rules and when to stay versus switch. Use the returned SKU ids with calculate_36_month_tco.

Input parameters:

- `provider` (string)
- `sku` (string): Optional, e.g. advance-2, scale-a1, ax102

### `request_blind_counter_quotes` (~250 tokens)

Request blind counter-quotes

Opens a counter-quote request with the RentServers.com desk: 3+ providers bid blind against the spec and the reply lays every quote out on one 36-month basis. Only call this when the user asks for quotes and provides their work email; they must click a confirmation link before any provider is contacted. Requests under $100/mo or for a single VPS get self-serve list prices instead of a ticket.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string, required)
- `company` (string)
- `gpu_count` (integer)
- `gpu_model` (string)
- `incumbent_monthly_usd` (number)
- `incumbent_provider` (string)

- `term_months` (integer)
- `work_email` (string, required)

RentServers.com exposes 4 tools: get_server_price_index, calculate_36_month_tco, audit_2026_provider_repricing, request_blind_counter_quotes. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 813 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the RentServers.com MCP server require authentication?

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