## 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 2026-08-03.

- **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**: 71/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 145 tokens (~145/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - 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.

### `check_mcp_server` (~145 tokens)

Check MCP server

Statically audit an MCP tool surface from a public HTTPS URL or tools/list snapshot. Returns deterministic scores and findings without invoking any target tool or making LLM calls. When the user asks to check another installed MCP server, forward that server's complete tool definitions from client context as snapshot. If those definitions are unavailable, ask the user for its public endpoint or tools/list JSON instead of inventing an audit.

Input parameters:

- `headers` (object): Optional HTTP headers sent only while reading the remote tools/list response.
- `snapshot`: A tools/list JSON response or mcplint snapshot containing a tools array.
- `url` (string): Public HTTPS Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint to inspect.

Output parameters:

- `findingCounts` (object)
- `findings` (array)
- `grade` (string)
- `scores` (object)
- `server` (object)
- `source` (string)
- `staticAnalysis` (boolean)
- `stats` (object)
- `targetToolsInvoked` (boolean)
