## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 69/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1134 tokens (~141/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 60/100
  - Stability observed for 18 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 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 9 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.

## MCP tools (8)

### `games_like_this_earn` (~167 tokens)

What games built like this earn

How released Steam games built like a given game (its core mechanics) or carrying given mechanics did: how many there are, the share that reached 1,000 reviews, and those games' median owners and estimated gross revenue. Pass a game, or mechanics in plain words; optionally a price (defaults to the game's own list price; the group is then games priced 0.7x to 1.4x of it).

Input parameters:

- `game` (string): A Steam game: its name, store link or app id
- `mechanics` (string): Mechanics in plain words, comma separated, e.g. 'deckbuilding, permadeath'
- `price` (string): List price in US dollars, e.g. '$14.99' or 'free'

### `launch_range_for_followers` (~172 tokens)

Launch range for a following

How many concurrent players Steam launches with a similar number of followers (within 3x) reached at their first-week peak: the range 8 in 10 landed in, the middle half and the median, with n. The same rule as SteamMaho's public forecast receipts. Pass followers when the person has them; pass wishlists when they only have wishlists (the two are not the same number).

Input parameters:

- `followers` (string): The game's Steam follower count, e.g. '12000' or '12k'
- `wishlists` (string): The game's wishlist count when the person has that instead of followers, e.g. '20000'; it is turned into followers with SteamMaho's pool ratio (about 23 wishlists per follower) and the answer says so

### `price_bands` (~106 tokens)

Price bands for a design

For released Steam games built like a given game (or carrying given mechanics): how many sit in each price band, the share in each that reached 1,000 reviews, and their median estimated gross; with a game, also the list prices of its 20 closest games. Measured history, not a prediction.

Input parameters:

- `game` (string): A Steam game: its name, store link or app id
- `mechanics` (string): Mechanics in plain words, comma separated

### `failure_story_systems_priors` (~171 tokens)

What games with this failure rule, story shape or systems depth get

How Steam games with a given failure rule (where you restart, what you lose), story structure or depth of interacting systems did against games like them: share of positive reviews in points, reviewer hours, players kept, early negative reviews, replay and repetition mentions. Pass a game (our labels for it) or describe one.

Input parameters:

- `failure_lose` (string): What the player loses on failing
- `failure_restart` (string): Where the player restarts after failing
- `game` (string): A Steam game: its name, store link or app id
- `story_structure` (string): The story's structure
- `systems_depth` (integer): Systems that act on their own: 0 none, 1 one, 2 several that interact, 3 a simulation

### `who_plays_games_like_this` (~90 tokens)

Who plays games like this

How easy to please the reviewers of a game's closest games are, in points of positive reviews against an average crowd (from reviewers we have read across many games), the two harshest and two most lenient by name, and the game's own reviewers or followers when we have read enough of them.

Input parameters:

- `game` (string, required): A Steam game: its name, store link or app id

### `closest_games` (~85 tokens)

Closest games by mechanics

The ten Steam games built most like a given game, each with the mechanics it shares with it. Use it when the person asks for references, competitors, comparables or games similar to a game (including one named earlier in the conversation); it needs that game's name, link or id.

Input parameters:

- `game` (string, required): A Steam game: its name, store link or app id

### `forecast_receipts` (~50 tokens)

SteamMaho's forecast receipts

Every launch forecast SteamMaho logged in public before the launch: the range, the outcome, inside or not, and the ones still open. Use it to judge how far to trust the launch ranges.

### `what_a_game_is` (~63 tokens)

What a game is

SteamMaho's plain sentences about one Steam game: how its story is built, what runs on its own, what happens when you fail, and its core mechanics.

Input parameters:

- `game` (string, required): A Steam game: its name, store link or app id

## Common questions

### What is the SteamMaho MCP server?

SteamMaho is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.steammaho/steammaho. Steam games counted by their mechanics: earnings, launch ranges, price bands, crowds, closest games. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.steammaho.com/mcp).

### Is the SteamMaho MCP server safe to use?

SteamMaho scores 78 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 SteamMaho MCP server expose?

SteamMaho exposes 8 tools: games_like_this_earn, launch_range_for_followers, price_bands, failure_story_systems_priors, who_plays_games_like_this, and 3 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 904 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the SteamMaho MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the SteamMaho MCP server still maintained?

SteamMaho is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
