## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - 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 7 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.
  - 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**: 61/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 187 tokens (~26/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 67/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% 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 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

### What is the Betting Edge — NFL Elo Research MCP server?

Betting Edge — NFL Elo Research is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.FedX19/betting-edge. NFL Elo forecasts, odds comparisons, archived games, ratings and calibration. Research only. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://bettingedge.app/mcp).

### Is the Betting Edge — NFL Elo Research MCP server safe to use?

### What tools does the Betting Edge — NFL Elo Research MCP server expose?

Betting Edge — NFL Elo Research exposes 7 tools: get_week_shortlist, get_game_prediction, get_elo_rankings, get_player_props, get_calibration, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 187 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Betting Edge — NFL Elo Research MCP server require authentication?

### Is the Betting Edge — NFL Elo Research MCP server still maintained?

Betting Edge — NFL Elo Research 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 did VerifyMCP test on the Betting Edge — NFL Elo Research MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 12 checks on Betting Edge — NFL Elo Research, covering TLS certificate, HTTPS, HSTS header, DNSSEC and 8 more. One item could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about Betting Edge — NFL Elo Research: Authorization. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
