## 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 2026-09-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 89/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, but the challenge carries no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token.
  - 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**: 66/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 402 tokens (~402/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 73/100
  - Stability observed for 22 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 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 20/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (1)

### `digest_url` (~383 tokens)

Turn a social media URL into LLM-ready context. Works on Xiaohongshu, Douyin, TikTok, YouTube, X and ordinary web pages. Returns the post's transcript, on-screen text, image descriptions, caption and metadata — the things you cannot get by fetching the URL yourself, because these posts are video or images behind tokenised share links. Use this whenever you are given a social media link. Bilibili, Instagram and Facebook are not supported. A long video may not finish in one call: if the result names a job id, call this tool again with that job_id (and no url) to collect it.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): markdown (default, best for reading) or json (structured).
- `job_id` (string): Collect a digest already running. Pass the job id from a previous call instead of url. Use this rather than re-sending the url, which would start the work again.
- `partial_ok` (boolean): Read the opening minutes the budget affords instead of refusing a video over max_credits or the plan's length cap. Default false: a long video is refused and costs nothing. When true, the digest carr…
- `translate_to` (string): Also translate the digest into this language: an ISO 639-1 code, optionally with a region (en, ja, zh-CN). The original-language text is always returned; the translation is added alongside it under `…
- `url` (string, required): The post URL, including any share tokens.
