## 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 2026-10-23.

- **Endpoint Security**: 83/100
  - 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 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**: 61/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1600 tokens (~320/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**: 20/100
  - Stability observed for 6 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 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 (5)

### `find_business` (~571 tokens)

Find Business

Find businesses on ServeCounter that take bookings from assistants: by name (`query`, at least 3 letters, such as "studio noord"), by trade (`trade`, such as "barber" or "nail-salon"; the trade's key or its English or Dutch name), by place (`city`, or `latitude` and `longitude` with `radiusKm`, 10 by default and at most 50) and, with `freeOn` (YYYY-MM-DD), only those with a free time that day. Give at least one of name, trade, city or coordinates. Needs no sign-in. Answers up to 20 businesses a page with their address, which the other tools take as `business`; ask again with the answer's `nextCursor` for the next page. How results are ordered, always the same way: nearest first when coordinates are given, then the earliest free time on `freeOn` when it is given, then name A to Z. A `city` alone only limits the results to that city: ServeCounter does not measure from a city's centre, so give coordinates for distance. A city alone is ordered by first free time, then name (the free time needs `freeOn`; without it, by name). There is no paid placement: no business can pay to be listed higher, and the answer says how it was ordered in `orderedBy`. Only businesses whose booking page is live and that allow assistants are listed.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): The city, as it is written in the business's address, such as "Amsterdam". Limits the results to it; it does not rank by distance.
- `cursor` (string): The `nextCursor` of the previous page of this same search.
- `freeOn` (string): A day, YYYY-MM-DD: only businesses with a free time then, the earliest first after distance. At most 40 businesses are checked, in order of distance, then name, and the answer says when a request's l…
- `latitude` (number): Where you are looking from, WGS 84 degrees; needs `longitude`. Results are then the nearest first.
- `limit` (integer): How many businesses a page: 20 by default and at most 20.
- `longitude` (number): WGS 84 degrees; needs `latitude`.
- `query` (string): Part of the business's name or booking address, at least 3 letters.
- `radiusKm` (number): How far from the coordinates, in kilometres: 10 by default, at most 50.
- `trade` (string): The trade: its key ("barber", "hairdresser", "nail-salon") or its English or Dutch name ("Kapsalon").

### `get_business` (~114 tokens)

Get Business

A business's locations, services, prices, add-ons and what it asks to be paid up front, the same as its booking page shows and nothing else. Needs no sign-in. With more than one open location, answer again with its `locationId` to see its services.

Input parameters:

- `business` (string, required): The business's address from find_business, such as "studio-noord", or its booking page link.
- `locationId` (integer): A location's id, when the business has more than one open location.

### `get_free_times` (~194 tokens)

Get Free Times

The free times for one service at one location, day by day, as the booking page offers them: at most 14 days a request. Needs no sign-in. Times are in the location's own time zone.

Input parameters:

- `addOnIds` (array): Add-ons chosen with the service.
- `business` (string, required): The business's address, such as "studio-noord".
- `from` (string, required): The first day, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `locationId` (integer, required): The location's id from get_business.
- `personId` (integer): Who it is with, from get_business people; leave out for no preference.
- `serviceId` (integer, required): The service's id from get_business.
- `until` (string, required): The last day, YYYY-MM-DD, at most 14 days from `from`.
- `variantId` (integer): A variant of the service, when it has them.

### `prepare_booking` (~429 tokens)

Prepare Booking

Prepares a booking for the person who allowed you, for a free time. Nothing is booked yet: it returns a link (`orderUrl`) to give to the person. They read who the seller is and the terms, tick two boxes and press the button, and only then is it booked. Needs the person's own ServeCounter sign-in (OAuth). The booking is always for that person, whatever name or email you send; their phone number and full name are needed only when their account has none. Send an `idempotencyKey` (a new random value for each booking you mean to make) so that asking again after a lost answer is safe: the same key with the same arguments, within 24 hours, gives the first answer again and makes no second order; the same key with other arguments is refused with `idempotency-key-reused`.

Input parameters:

- `addOnIds` (array): Add-ons chosen with the service.
- `business` (string, required): The business's address, such as "studio-noord".
- `date` (string, required): The day, YYYY-MM-DD, from get_free_times.
- `idempotencyKey` (string): A value you make up once per booking, at most 255 characters, such as a UUID. Send the same one again only to repeat this same call.
- `locationId` (integer, required): The location's id from get_business.
- `name` (string): The person's full name, if their account has none.
- `payment` (string): Only where the business lets the customer choose: pay the full amount now, or pay at the business with a deposit now. Defaults to the deposit.
- `personId` (integer): Who it is with; leave out for no preference.
- `phone` (string): The person's phone number, if their account has none.
- `serviceId` (integer, required): The service's id from get_business.
- `start` (string, required): The start time, HH:MM, from get_free_times.
- `variantId` (integer): A variant of the service, when it has them.

### `get_booking_status` (~96 tokens)

Get Booking Status

Where an order you prepared stands: `open` (the person has not ordered yet), `booked` (with a link to manage it) or `ended` (expired). Only for orders of the person who allowed you. Needs their sign-in.

Input parameters:

- `business` (string, required): The business's address.
- `order` (string, required): The order's code, the last part of the orderUrl, or the whole link.
