## 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 2026-11-06.

- **Endpoint Security**: 91/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server, and every tool looks verifiably read-only (it declares readOnlyHint: true, starts its name with a read verb and describes no write), so an anonymous caller can read but cannot change anything. We can't see whether a tool returns data specific to one caller, so keep any per-user data behind authorisation.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 283 tokens (~94/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 80/100
  - Stability observed for 24 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 92/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 75% 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

Simple China Trip is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.simplechinatrip/china-attraction-booking. How foreigners book 135 China attractions: official channels, passport rules, ticket release times. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://simplechinatrip.com/mcp).

### Is the Simple China Trip MCP server safe to use?

Simple China Trip scores 88 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Simple China Trip MCP server expose?

Simple China Trip exposes 3 tools: list_cities, search_attractions, get_booking_guide. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 220 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Simple China Trip MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the Simple China Trip MCP server still maintained?

Simple China Trip is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Simple China Trip MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on Simple China Trip, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 9 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
