Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability67
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 758 tokens (~379/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
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.
How do I install the SelectBNBs Verify MCP server?
SelectBNBs Verify is a hosted endpoint at https://selectbnbs.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
get_permit_record Get one government permit record (South Korea) ~282
Fetch one accommodation permit record from official South Korean government data, by its government management number (e.g. AGCV065100002024000451), or by registered business name together with the Korean issuing region (e.g. name 'Jobs', region '서울특별시 종로구'). SelectBNBs Verify covers South Korea today; more countries are coming. It takes one of these identifiers and does not read text copied from a listing. Returns one record (status, category, permit date, record page link, citation) or says why no single record could be chosen. Never lists or browses records.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | yes | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the country where the stay is, e.g. KR. Only KR (South Korea) is covered today; other countries return 'not covered yet'. |
| management_number | string | – | Full government management number, e.g. AGCV065100002024000451. Send this alone. Urban-homestay and hanok numbers (CDFI...) repeat across districts; for those, send name and region instead. |
| name | string | – | Registered business name (사업장명). Send together with region. |
| region | string | – | Korean issuing region in Korean, e.g. 제주특별자치도 제주시. Send together with name. |

verify_listing_registration Check a stay's government registration (South Korea) ~318
Check whether a short-term rental listing (Airbnb, guesthouse, hanok stay, homestay, pension) is licensed and registered with the government, using official government registry records that are hard to access directly. SelectBNBs Verify covers South Korea today; more countries are coming. Use it when someone asks whether a Korean Airbnb or guesthouse is legal, licensed, registered or real. Pass the listing's 'Registration details' box exactly as shown (Region of issuance, Licence type, Licence number) and/or the listing URL, name or address. Returns the official permit status and its as-of date, the registered business name, permit category and address, a link to the public record page, and what the traveler should compare with their listing. One listing per call; no bulk search.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | yes | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the country where the stay is, e.g. KR. Only KR (South Korea) is covered today; other countries return 'not covered yet'. |
| language | string | – | Language for explanations and next steps: en (default), ja or zh-Hant. |
| listing_details | string | yes | Text copied from ONE listing, as shown: ideally the whole Registration details box (e.g. 'Region of issuance: 서울특별시 종로구 / Licence type: 외국인관광도시민박업 / Licence number: 2025-000006'), and/or the listing… |
