## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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 2026-08-03.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 87/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (96 of 100), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (96 of 100), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (AGPL-3.0-or-later).
  - Actively maintained (last published 48 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 573 tokens (~143/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**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-03 (score 68, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (4)

### `search_mcp_servers` (~242 tokens)

Call this first whenever the user needs a capability you do not already have. Use it when the user mentions an external service, a database, a filesystem, a SaaS tool, or asks "can you connect to X?". Examples: "connect to postgres" -> query "postgres"; "read my Slack" -> query "slack"; "browse local files" -> query "filesystem". If results are weak, retry with a broader term. After choosing a candidate, call get_server_details before recommending or installing it.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Maximum results to return (default: 10, max: 50)
- `query` (string): Search query — a keyword (e.g., "filesystem"), use case ("query databases"), or technology ("postgres"). Common aliases work: "gh" → github, "pg" → postgres, "k8s" → kubernetes, "db" → database. Leav…
- `registrySource` (string): Filter by registry source
- `registryType` (string): Filter by package registry type
- `transportType` (string): Filter by transport type

Output parameters:

- `next_actions` (array)
- `query` (string)
- `results` (array)

### `get_server_details` (~105 tokens)

Always call this before recommending or installing a server. It returns the metadata you need to judge safety and fit: install method, transport, environment variables, source count, trust signals, warnings, and any discovered tools/capabilities. Use it to warn the user about secrets, stale projects, or weak metadata before calling get_install_config.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): Server name (e.g., "io.modelcontextprotocol/filesystem") or slug (e.g., "filesystem")

Output parameters:

- `found` (boolean)
- `name` (string)
- `next_actions` (array)
- `server` (object)

### `get_install_config` (~96 tokens)

Use this after get_server_details to generate a ready-to-paste JSON config snippet for the target client. Returns structured config, file paths, required env vars, restart guidance, and safety flags like requires_user_secrets and safe_to_autoinstall.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): Server name or slug (e.g., "filesystem", "io.modelcontextprotocol/filesystem")
- `platform` (string): Target platform for install config

Output parameters:

- `autoInstallable` (boolean)
- `config` (object)
- `configFilePath` (object)
- `envVarsNeeded` (array)
- `found` (boolean)
- `installType` (string)
- `name` (string)
- `next_actions` (array)
- `platform` (string)
- `requires_user_secrets` (boolean)
- `safe_to_autoinstall` (boolean)
- `server` (string)
- `warningFlags` (array)

### `browse_categories` (~130 tokens)

Single-call category browser for broad discovery. Call with no `category` to list all categories with counts; call with a `category` to get the highest-signal servers in that category. Prefer search_mcp_servers when the user names a concrete technology like Slack, Postgres, GitHub, or Notion; use this when discovery is domain-driven (database, filesystem, communication, security, ai, etc.).

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Optional category name; omit to list all categories
- `limit` (number): Maximum results when category is provided (default: 20, max: 50)

Output parameters:

- `categories` (array)
- `category` (string)
- `next_actions` (array)
- `results` (array)
