How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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)

- **Supply Chain Security**: 98/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - 31 of 93 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.

  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 64/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 695 tokens (~231/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**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **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 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

### 2026-10-18 (score 68)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (3)

### `deepseek_search` (~342 tokens)

DeepSeek web search

Search the live web with DeepSeek's search engine. Returns ranked results with a model-ready summary per result (capped at 800 chars by default). rerank_score ranges 0-3; >= 1.5 is high quality. Use this to discover sources; then call deepseek_fetch on a URL for the full page, or use deepseek_research to do both in one step. The query is limited to 128 characters including filters and supports operators: "exact phrase", -term, -"phrase".

Input parameters:

- `after` (string): Only pages dated after this: YYYY, YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD.
- `before` (string): Only pages dated before this: YYYY, YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD.
- `count` (integer): Results to return (default 10).
- `exclude_sites` (array): Exclude results from these domains.
- `include_content` (boolean): Also return each page's text (truncated). Costs no extra request but uses much more context.
- `lang` (array): Language codes, e.g. ["en", "es"].
- `localization` (string): Optional IP address used to localize results.
- `min_score` (number): Drop results below this rerank_score.
- `original_question` (string): The user's original question, in their words. Improves ranking; trimmed to 128 chars.
- `query` (string, required): Search query, max 128 chars after filters are added.
- `sites` (array): Only return results from these domains, e.g. ["github.com"].
- `summary_chars` (integer): Max characters of each summary (default 800).

### `deepseek_fetch` (~93 tokens)

DeepSeek fetch page

Fetch a web page through DeepSeek and return its content as Markdown. Long pages are returned in chunks: when the output says to call again with an offset, do so to read further.

Input parameters:

- `max_chars` (integer): Characters to return (default 20000).
- `offset` (integer): Character offset to start from, for paging long pages.
- `url` (string, required): http(s) URL to fetch.

### `deepseek_research` (~260 tokens)

DeepSeek research

Answer-oriented web research in one call: searches, keeps the best-scoring results and returns their full page content with numbered sources for citation. Prefer this over search+fetch when you need to read sources, not just find them.

Input parameters:

- `after` (string): Only pages dated after this: YYYY, YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD.
- `before` (string): Only pages dated before this: YYYY, YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD.
- `exclude_sites` (array): Exclude results from these domains.
- `lang` (array): Language codes, e.g. ["en", "es"].
- `localization` (string): Optional IP address used to localize results.
- `max_chars_per_page` (integer): Content per page (default 6000).
- `max_pages` (integer): Pages to return with content (default 5).
- `min_score` (number): Minimum rerank_score (default 1.5).
- `query` (string): Search query to use instead of the question. Required if the question exceeds 128 chars.
- `question` (string, required): The question to research, in the user's words.
- `sites` (array): Only return results from these domains, e.g. ["github.com"].
