## 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. 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.
  - 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**: 64/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 586 tokens (~146/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 67/100
  - Stability observed for 20 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 90/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 70% 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 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).

## MCP tools (4)

### `size_recommendation` (~298 tokens)

Motorcycle gear size recommendation

Requires the rider's own free Yardstick Outfitters account: call with their signed-in session; otherwise it returns status requires_account and a free sign-up link (https://yardstickoutfitters.com/account/signin/?new=1) to pass on. Recommend a size for a motorcycle jacket, pants, boots, helmet or gloves, using only the brand's own official size chart (for example Alpinestars, Klim, Dainese, Aerostich, Sidi, Forma and some Bell, Klim, Nexx, Shark and Alpinestars helmets; see /fit-confidence/). If we have no verified official chart for that brand and item (for example REV'IT!, Shoei, Gaerne), it returns status no_chart with no size and the how-to-measure guide; it never uses a generic chart and never invents sizing. Uses chest (jacket), waist (pants), head circumference (helmet), hand circumference (gloves) or foot length (boots).

Input parameters:

- `brand` (string, required): Brand, e.g. Klim, Alpinestars, Shoei
- `measurements` (object, required): Rider measurements
- `product_name` (string): Exact model, e.g. Klim Krios Pro or Bell MX-9 Adventure (needed for per-model helmet charts)
- `product_type` (string, required)
- `units` (string): Units for all measurements (default: guessed from values)

### `list_fit_guides` (~27 tokens)

List Yardstick fit guides

List Yardstick Outfitters' motorcycle gear fit guides with URLs and one-line summaries.

### `current_deals` (~145 tokens)

Current verified motorcycle gear deals

Verified motorcycle gear deals for every riding style, with price, retailer's listed price (the store's own comparison price, not verified by us), percent below that listed price, retailer link, as-of time, and optional made_in_usa (official-source only). Optional filters including made_in_usa.

Input parameters:

- `brand` (string)
- `category` (string): e.g. helmet, jacket, pants, boots
- `limit` (integer)
- `made_in_usa` (boolean): If true, only return deals tagged Made in USA from official brand sources (FTC all-or-virtually-all; never inferred)
- `max_price` (number): USD

### `about_yardstick` (~25 tokens)

About Yardstick Outfitters

Short description of Yardstick Outfitters, waitlist link and policy links.

## Common questions

### What is the Yardstick Outfitters MCP server?

Yardstick Outfitters is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.yardstickoutfitters/mcp. Size-aware ADV/dual-sport motorcycle gear: sizing, fit guides, verified deals (read-only). This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://yardstickoutfitters.com/mcp).

### Is the Yardstick Outfitters MCP server safe to use?

Yardstick Outfitters 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 Yardstick Outfitters MCP server expose?

Yardstick Outfitters exposes 4 tools: size_recommendation, list_fit_guides, current_deals, about_yardstick. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 495 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Yardstick Outfitters MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the Yardstick Outfitters MCP server still maintained?

Yardstick Outfitters 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.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Yardstick Outfitters MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on Yardstick Outfitters, 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.
