## Common questions

### What is the TrustList MCP server?

TrustList is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.eharain/trustlist. Search TrustList rankings of software, IT services and B2B firms, and cite them. Read-only, no key. This page covers its npm package (@trustlist/mcp).

### Is the TrustList MCP server safe to use?

TrustList scores 75 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the TrustList MCP server expose?

TrustList exposes 3 tools: search_trustlist, get_ranking, get_listing_badges. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 215 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the TrustList MCP server still maintained?

TrustList is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the TrustList MCP server under?

TrustList declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
