## 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**: 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**: 71/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 411 tokens (~137/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**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `getComponentVersion` (~113 tokens)

Returns detailed analysis of a specific dependency or multiple dependencies with metadata about quality, license
and security. Dependencies can be referred to as packages, components or libraries. They
can be transitive (brought in by other dependencies) or direct (explicitly added to the
project).

Input parameters:

- `packageUrls` (array, required): Package URL (PURL) or list of PURLs identifying the component(s). Maven requires namespace (groupId). Version is required. When providing multiple package URLs, limit to 20 maximum.

### `getLatestComponentVersion` (~112 tokens)

Returns the latest version of a dependency or multiple dependencies with quality, license and security data.
Dependencies can be referred to as packages, components or libraries. They can be
transitive (brought in by other dependencies) or direct (explicitly added to the
project).

Input parameters:

- `packageUrls` (array, required): Package URL (PURL) or list of PURLs identifying the component(s). Maven requires namespace (groupId). Version is optional. When providing multiple package URLs, limit to 20 maximum.

### `getRecommendedComponentVersions` (~186 tokens)

Returns top dependency version recommendations ranked by Developer Trust Score with
security, licensing, and quality analysis. Developer Trust Score is a measure of quality,
security, licensing, and maintainability. Use this when selecting a new component to add
to a project (without version) or when upgrading an existing component (with version).
Dependencies can be referred to as packages, components or libraries. They can be
transitive (brought in by other dependencies) or direct (explicitly added to the
project).

Input parameters:

- `packageUrls` (array, required): Package URL (PURL) or list of PURLs identifying the component(s). Maven requires namespace (groupId). Version is optional: omit for new component recommendations (returns the best versions to start w…
