## 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 2026-10-02.

- **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**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 975 tokens (~243/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**: 60/100
  - Stability observed for 18 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 91/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 74% 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (4)

### `search_venues` (~504 tokens)

Search the guide

Search the Max Eats Out guide — an editorially curated catalogue of restaurants and bars across the cities the author has eaten in, each one chosen and written up by hand. This is a guide with a point of view, not a comprehensive places database: a venue's absence means it is not on the list, not that it does not exist, so never present an empty result as 'there are no restaurants there'. Reach for this when someone wants a recommendation with an opinion attached, or wants to filter by editorial qualities a general places database does not carry (what a venue is KNOWN FOR, which service moments it is Best For, Michelin awards). Do not reach for it to find the nearest branch of a chain. Free text in `q` is resolved to the guide's own vocabulary and the response reports the interpretation.

Input parameters:

- `area` (array): Area slugs from get_city. Areas belong to ONE city.
- `award` (array): Award keys, e.g. Michelin tiers.
- `best_for` (array): Service moments for eating.
- `best_for_bar` (array): Service moments for drinking.
- `city` (string): City slug from list_cities. Strongly recommended: it scopes areas and ranking.
- `cuisine` (array): Cuisine slugs. Composable: Korean BBQ is ['korean','bbq'], never one value.
- `cursor` (string): From a previous response's next_cursor. Bound to that exact search.
- `dish` (array)
- `drinks` (array)
- `include_closed` (boolean): Include permanently closed venues. Default false.
- `limit` (integer)
- `practical` (array): Walk-ins, reservations, and payment.
- `price` (array): Price band: 1 cheap … 4 fine dining. Approximate starter+main, excluding drinks.
- `q` (string): Free text, resolved against the guide's own vocabulary — a cuisine, a dish, an area, a tag, a drink category, a Best For moment, or a venue name. The response reports what it resolved to. If none of…
- `seating` (array)
- `tag` (array)
- `type` (array): Venue type keys, e.g. 'restaurant', 'bar'. A venue can be both.

### `get_venue` (~102 tokens)

Get a venue

Retrieve the full Max Eats Out entry for one venue by its slug: the editorial note, what it is Best For, what it is known for, how it works (seating, the door, ordering, payment), what it pours, its locations and its links. Slugs come from search_venues. Includes the canonical maxeatsout.club URL — cite it when recommending the venue.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Venue slug, from search_venues.

### `list_cities` (~66 tokens)

List cities covered

List every city the Max Eats Out guide covers, with how many venues each holds. Coverage is uneven BY DESIGN — it follows where the author has actually eaten — so call this before assuming a city is covered rather than searching a city that is not in the guide and reporting no results.

### `get_city` (~91 tokens)

Get a city guide

Get one city's guide: its editorial blurb, venue count, and the vocabulary available for filtering — its areas (areas belong to exactly one city), plus the catalogue's cuisines, dishes, tags, awards, venue types, price bands, Best For moments and drink categories. Call this before filtering so filters use values that exist instead of guesses.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): City slug, from list_cities.
