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 Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- 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 Usability64
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1112 tokens (~222/item across 5 items; 5 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
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 5 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 per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

china-1688-supplier-monitor 1688 Supplier Price & MOQ Monitor ~291
Compare buyer-owned, merchant-authorized, or licensed 1688 offer exports for price, MOQ, stock, supplier, badge, and promotion changes. Each delivered row adds stable identity, freshness, evidence gaps, review priority, and a human action—with no 1688 login, scraping, API call, or URL fetch. — $0.02/call, x402 (USDC on base).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| authorization | string | – | Required for offers. This is a buyer attestation, not independent verification by the Actor. |
| maxChanges | integer | – | Stop before delivering more changed comparisons after this count. Baseline/no-change rows already delivered still count as paid rows. |
| offers | array | – | One to 50 closed previous/current records. Unknown or malformed records are counted invalid. Duplicate offerId values are delivered once. |
| productUrls | array | – | Migration-only legacy input. URLs are never fetched and produce one free diagnostic row. |
| proxyConfiguration | object | – | Accepted only for backward compatibility and ignored. The current Actor makes zero network requests. |
| schemaVersion | string | – | Closed public input contract version. |
| sourceContext | string | – | Required buyer-attested origin category for the authorized export. |
| watchName | string | yes | Stable buyer label for this comparison. It is returned in every row and OUTPUT receipt; the Actor does not persist a cross-run source baseline. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
china-fdi-flow-position-monitor China FDI Flow & Position Monitor ~206
Monitor official OECD China FDI financial flows and positions by assets and liabilities, with paid-delivery-safe deltas. — $0.02/call, x402 (USDC on base).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cacheMaxAgeMinutes | integer | – | Reuse a validated official OECD response for 0-120 minutes. Set 0 to disable cache reads. Cache state never changes the paid-delivery baseline. |
| datasets | array | – | Official OECD aggregate financial flows (quarterly), positions (annual), or both. Values use the assets/liabilities accounting principle; they are not inbound/outbound labels. |
| endYear | integer | – | Inclusive last year, not later than the current UTC year. |
| startYear | integer | – | Inclusive first year. Runtime validation enforces 2005 or later and a maximum 10-year window. |
| watchName | string | – | Stable private baseline scope. Reuse it in scheduled runs to compare only against a previously confirmed paid delivery. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
china-lei-entity-change-monitor China LEI Entity Change Monitor ~245
Monitor official GLEIF LEI records for entity, registration and parent-relationship changes in mainland China and Hong Kong. — $0.02/call, x402 (USDC on base).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| countries | array | yes | Mainland China (CN) is the default. Add Hong Kong (HK) when required. |
| includeRelationships | boolean | – | Resolve direct and ultimate accounting parents when GLEIF publishes a relationship. |
| leis | array | – | Optional exact 20-character Legal Entity Identifiers. |
| maxConcurrency | integer | – | Bounded concurrency for official GLEIF requests. |
| maxResults | integer | – | Hard cap across all searches after deterministic LEI de-duplication. |
| nameMatchMode | string | – | Fuzzy uses GLEIF full-text matching. Exact additionally requires a normalized legal or alternate-name match. |
| names | array | – | Optional bounded entity-name searches. Searches are restricted to the selected countries. |
| replayBaseline | boolean | – | Emit a paid replay row for unchanged records. Keep disabled for change-only scheduled monitoring. |
| watchName | string | yes | Stable private baseline scope. Reuse this value on scheduled runs. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
china-macro-revision-monitor China Macro Revision Monitor ~142
Monitor bounded China macro observations and historical revisions from the official World Bank WDI source=2 API. — $0.02/call, x402 (USDC on base).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| endYear | integer | – | Inclusive last year, not later than the current UTC year. |
| indicators | array | – | Approved World Development Indicators. Arbitrary codes and other World Bank datasets are rejected. |
| startYear | integer | – | Inclusive first year. Runtime validation enforces 1960 or later and a maximum 10-year window. |
| watchName | string | – | Stable private baseline scope. Reuse it in scheduled runs to identify new observations and revisions. |

No. We connected to China Macro & Supply Signals without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the China Macro & Supply Signals MCP server still maintained?
China Macro & Supply Signals is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What did VerifyMCP test on the China Macro & Supply Signals MCP server?
VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on China Macro & Supply Signals, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 9 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
