Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security46
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability84
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 210 tokens (~210/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 1 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
Unverified: 1 category
A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.
How do I install the Livestock Counterparty Guard MCP server?
Livestock Counterparty Guard is a hosted endpoint at https://usda-ps-counterparty-guard.hwinkler5866.workers.dev/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

verify_livestock_counterparty ~210
Read-only USDA Packers and Stockyards livestock counterparty verification. Call when a user or system needs to check a livestock or cattle buyer, dealer, market agency, or packer before a sale, transaction, procurement decision, vendor onboarding, or recurring review. Searches bonded dealers and market agencies buying on commission, bonded market agencies selling livestock on commission, bonded packers, and current suspension windows. Returns source-attributed match status, bond coverage when published, legal/trade-name match basis, region resolution, suspension evidence, and source dates. Do not use this tool as a credit score, solvency determination, legal conclusion, recommendation to transact, or guarantee of payment. Current expired-registration status is unavailable because the USDA expired-registration source currently available for validation is stale.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| business_name | string | yes | Legal or trade name of the livestock counterparty. |
| region | string | – | Optional U.S. state or Canadian province, as a full name or abbreviation, used to disambiguate matches. |
