## 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**: 80/100
  - 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 is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - 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**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 386 tokens (~128/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 80/100
  - Stability observed for 24 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.
- **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 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `search_places` (~150 tokens)

Search places in their time

Find the places Yore has researched: each is a sourced study of what one town, county or city was like in one decade (work, faith, law, money, dangers, news, year by year). Search by any words from the place's name or region ("Wilkes-Barre", "Luzerne Pennsylvania", "Essex England"), optionally in one decade. With no query it lists everything.

Input parameters:

- `decade` (integer): A decade as its first year, e.g. 1880.
- `limit` (integer): At most this many (default 25, most 100).
- `query` (string): Words from the place name or region. Leave out to list all.

### `get_place` (~118 tokens)

Read one place in one decade

The full study of one place in one decade as Markdown: a look around, work, faith, law and power, money, what people feared, a year-by-year list, what each source says, and the numbered sources with links.

Input parameters:

- `decade` (integer, required): The decade as its first year, e.g. 1820.
- `place` (string, required): A place name (e.g. "Mauch Chunk"), or the place id a search result gives (e.g. "mauch-chunk-carbon-county-pennsylvania").

### `about_yore` (~46 tokens)

About Yore and its sources

What Yore is, how its place studies are researched and from what kinds of source, what its certainty labels mean, what the studies do not cover, and how to cite them.
