## 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 2026-10-18.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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**: 60/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 873 tokens (~291/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 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)

### `web` (~330 tokens)

ScrapeMole Search: web search, news search and autocomplete for AI agents: Web search (SERP results)

Returns ranked organic results (position, title, url, domain, snippet; published date or lastCrawled time when the source has one). The top 10 come from Bing's public RSS results; deeper pages (count > 10 or page > 1) come from Brave Search. Supports operators the engines support in q (site:, "exact phrase", -exclude, filetype:). If the primary source is unavailable or off-topic it falls back to Brave Search, then the Mwmbl open index; the response says which source answered (source, sourceUrl, fallbackFrom). Pair with ScrapeMole Reader /v1/read to turn a result URL into Markdown. Empty results = 404, not charged. Paid tool: x402 USDC on Base, $0.001 per successful call; call without payment to receive the PaymentRequired object.

Input parameters:

- `count` (string): Number of results (1-20).
- `market` (string): Market/locale as language-COUNTRY, e.g. en-US, en-GB, de-DE, fr-FR, ja-JP (applied on the Bing source).
- `page` (string): Result page (1-5); each page is "count" results.
- `q` (string, required): Search query (max 400 chars). Operators like site:example.com, "exact phrase", -word work.
- `safe` (string): Safe search level.

### `news` (~307 tokens)

ScrapeMole Search: web search, news search and autocomplete for AI agents: News search (articles)

Returns up to 20 articles with title, direct article url (no redirect wrapper), publisher, published time (ISO 8601), snippet and image when available. sort=date for newest first; freshness=hour|day|week|month to limit age; market for regional editions (en-US, en-GB, de-DE, …). Primary source is Bing News public RSS (retried automatically when Bing answers an empty page), fallback Brave Search News; the response names the source used. Empty results = 404, not charged. Paid tool: x402 USDC on Base, $0.002 per successful call; call without payment to receive the PaymentRequired object.

ScrapeMole Search: web search, news search and autocomplete for AI agents: Search suggestions (autocomplete)

Returns the completions in source order. lang sets the suggestion language (en, de, fr, es, ja, …).
