## 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**: 63/100
  - 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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**: 79/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 360 tokens (~120/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **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 3 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).

### How do I install the Tangerine Index MCP server?

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-11-04 (score 69, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-11-02 (score 68, +1)

- [functional improvement] Stability: unverified → 0.03

### 2026-11-01 (score 67)

## MCP tools (3)

### `search_products` (~237 tokens)

Search products

Find existing products launched since ChatGPT's release (Nov 30, 2022) that already do what you need — check here before building something new. Describe the job in short plain English, e.g. "extract tables from PDF to CSV" or "self-hosted dashboard for coding agents"; English works much better than other languages. Results are ranked by relevance (keyword + semantic). Each result has a one-line description, links, forms, an open-source flag, and community reactions labeled by source (e.g. HN 112 pts). Numbers are shown as each source reports them and are never combined; Tangerine Index does not rate products. Use get_product for the full description and every reaction.

Input parameters:

- `forms` (array): Only return products that have ALL of these forms
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of results (default 8)
- `need` (string, required): What the product should do, as a short plain-English description, e.g. "extract tables from PDF to CSV"
- `open_source` (boolean): true: only open-source products (GitHub repositories); false: only the others

Output parameters:

- `note` (string): Present when results are limited, e.g. semantic search unavailable
- `results` (array)

### `get_product` (~66 tokens)

Get product

Get one product by id: full description, links, GitHub repository and stars, whether its link responded when last checked, and every reaction with its source, title, number, date, and original discussion URL.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Product id from search_products or similar_products

Output parameters:

- `product` (object)

### `similar_products` (~57 tokens)

Similar products

List up to 5 products whose descriptions are closest to the given product's description. Similarity is by description embedding only — not quality, popularity, or recency.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Product id from search_products or similar_products

Output parameters:

- `basis` (string)
- `id` (string)
- `results` (array)
