## 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 2026-09-27.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 3 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 70/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 505 tokens (~168/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**: 83/100
  - Stability observed for 25 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.
- **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 4 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.

## Install

### How do I install the eu.cuttingtoolsai/reference MCP server?

eu.cuttingtoolsai/reference is a hosted endpoint at https://cuttingtoolsai.eu/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.

## MCP tools (3)

### `grade_cross_reference` (~148 tokens)

Cross-reference a carbide insert grade across manufacturers. Given any maker's grade (e.g. GC4325, KC5010, IC807), returns its ISO 513 application position(s) and the grades other manufacturers publish at the same position, each row carrying its verification status (multi-source consensus / confirmed by 2+ manufacturer charts / single-source chart). Comparable-at-ISO-position is a trial starting point, not an interchangeability guarantee.

Input parameters:

- `brand` (string): Optional: the grade's manufacturer, to disambiguate codes used by several makers
- `grade` (string, required): The grade code to cross-reference, e.g. "GC4325" or "KC5010"

### `material_cross_reference` (~175 tokens)

Cross-reference a workpiece material designation across standards (EN, Werkstoffnummer, AISI/ASTM/UNS, JIS) from a curated 77-material set, e.g. "1.4404" -> AISI 316L / X2CrNiMo17-12-2 / SUS316L. Each match includes the ISO 513 machining group, a machining note, and whether the pairing is a same-composition equivalent or a nearest commonly-cited counterpart. Always verify against the material certificate.

Input parameters:

- `designation` (string, required): Any designation: EN name (42CrMo4), Werkstoffnummer (1.7225), AISI/UNS (4140, G41400), JIS (SCM440), or a common name (316L, Inconel 718)

### `speeds_feeds_starting_values` (~111 tokens)

Starting cutting-speed and feed ranges for coated-carbide TURNING by ISO 513 material group (P steel, M stainless, K cast iron, N aluminium, S_TI titanium, S_NI nickel superalloy, H hardened steel). These are deliberately wide practice ranges, not from any one catalog; the maker's data for the exact grade always wins.

Input parameters:

- `iso_group` (string, required): ISO 513 group. Use S_TI for titanium, S_NI for nickel superalloys.
