## 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**: 63/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 64/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 934 tokens (~311/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 check failed: schema churn in the 8 days we've observed: 0 tool removals, 3 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 0 additions.
- **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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

### `get_location_search` (~372 tokens)

Search cities worldwide - Geocoding autocomplete with coordinates and timezone

City autocomplete and geocoding search across 23,000+ locations in 240+ countries, including deep coverage of Indian tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Returns geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude), IANA timezone, and DST-aware UTC offset for each match. Built for birth chart location pickers, horoscope apps, event scheduling, and any feature requiring place-to-coordinates resolution. Partial name matching with intelligent ranking: exact prefix matches first, then sorted by population for relevance. Common alternate names like Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, and Banaras transparently resolve to their canonical entries.

Input parameters:

- `compact` (boolean): Set true to receive the exact same data in a token-optimized shape that is cheaper for you to read: whitespace is stripped and every array of same-shaped objects is encoded columnar as {"__cols":[fie…
- `limit` (integer): Maximum items to return per page. Range: 1-50, default 10.
- `offset` (integer|null): Number of items to skip for pagination. Default 0.
- `q` (string, required): City name to search for. Accepts bare city ("berlin"), city plus country ("berlin germany"), or comma-qualified ("berlin, germany", "springfield, illinois") for disambiguation. Matches against city n…

### `get_location_countries_iso2` (~324 tokens)

Get cities in a country - Geocoding directory sorted by population

Returns all cities for a specific country, identified by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. DE for Germany, FR for France, GB for United Kingdom, US for United States). Each city includes geographic coordinates, IANA timezone, and DST-aware UTC offset for direct use in astrology birth chart, horoscope, transit, and panchang calculations. Cities sorted by population with the largest metropolitan areas first.

Input parameters:

- `compact` (boolean): Set true to receive the exact same data in a token-optimized shape that is cheaper for you to read: whitespace is stripped and every array of same-shaped objects is encoded columnar as {"__cols":[fie…
