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 4 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 Usability84
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 536 tokens (~76/item across 7 items; 4 tools + 3 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management50
- Stability observed for 15 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. 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 →
compare_destinations Compare two destinations ~45
Two cities side by side: daily cost at each tier, plus currency, language and best months to visit.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cities | array | yes | Exactly two city names or slugs. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
destination_costs Daily cost by budget tier ~95
What a day costs in a city at budget, mid-range and luxury, broken down into accommodation, food, transport and activities, with the editorial overview for each tier. Figures come from a hand-written catalogue of 110 cities. If the city is not in the catalogue this returns an error — it never estimates.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | string | yes | City name or slug, e.g. "lisbon" or "Lisbon". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
find_destinations Find destinations in the catalogue ~71
List which cities this server knows about, optionally filtered by country, continent or a name fragment. Call this first when a city might not be covered — the other tools fail rather than guess.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | – | Optional filter: a country, continent or name fragment. Omit for all 110. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
walking_route Self-guided walking route ~111
A curated stop-by-stop walking route for a city: each stop in order with what to know there, real coordinates, distance on foot and total time. Distance excludes tram, metro and ferry legs, which are flagged separately. Nine cities deliberately have no route because a self-guided walk is the wrong format there.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | string | yes | City name or slug. |
| hours | integer | – | Optional route length. Only 3, 6 and 12 exist; omit to get whatever the city has. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
How do I install the TieredTravel MCP server?
TieredTravel is a hosted endpoint at https://tieredtravel.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.
