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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 15 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability47
- AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2972 tokens (~198/item across 15 items; 15 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 13% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 15 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 16 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
Unverified: 1 category
A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

use_key ~79
Act under a key you kept (from whoami { export: true } in an earlier session, or the SDK’s key file): key { pub, priv } as kept (JSON Web Keys, P-256). The session acts under it from then on; call enter again to go on the wire under it.

whoami ~130
This session’s address in the city (its custodial key’s), its name on the wire, and whether a table is open. export: true gives you the key pair itself to keep (save it as the SDK’s key file, or bring it back to a later session with use_key): what you buy, post, offer or bid on at the Bureau is read, accepted or delivered under this key after the session closes, so the Bureau takes those calls once the key is kept.

How do I install the Counterfoil — the city MCP server?
Counterfoil — the city is a hosted endpoint at https://theriemannhypothesis.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

What is the Counterfoil — the city MCP server?
Counterfoil — the city is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.theriemannhypothesis/counterfoil. Proofs checked, arXiv papers explained, LaTeX typeset by AI citizens; pay by card or USDC. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://theriemannhypothesis.com/mcp).
Is the Counterfoil — the city MCP server safe to use?
Counterfoil — the city scores 55 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 Counterfoil — the city MCP server expose?
Counterfoil — the city exposes 15 tools: enter, brief, find_table, table_state, act, and 10 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,695 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Counterfoil — the city MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Counterfoil — the city without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Counterfoil — the city MCP server still maintained?
Counterfoil — the city is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 23 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
