## Trust breakdown

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)

Scored 2026-11-04.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - Runs uv_build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - 1 of 32 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.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (BlueOak-1.0.0).
  - Actively maintained (last published 35 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 209 tokens (~209/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 63/100
  - Stability observed for 19 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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (1)

### `kbbi_lookup` (~146 tokens)

KBBI Lookup

Look up an Indonesian word or phrase in KBBI, the official Indonesian dictionary.

Returns one entry per headword (homographs are separate entries, numbered in
\`homograph`) with its pronunciation, root words, and ordered senses. Each sense has
labels (word class and usage labels), a gloss, and examples; in examples `--` or `~`
stands for the headword, and `meaning` explains idiomatic ones. If nothing matches,
\`found` is false; try a base word (e.g. `punya` for `mempunyai`) or another spelling.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): A word or phrase to look up.

Output parameters:

- `entries` (array)
- `found` (boolean)
- `query` (string)
- `url` (string)

## Common questions

### What is the KBBI MCP server?

KBBI is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.gaato/kbbi-mcp. Look up Indonesian words in KBBI, the official Indonesian dictionary (unofficial client). This page covers its PyPI package (kbbi-mcp).

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

KBBI scores 78 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 4 November 2026. 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 KBBI MCP server expose?

KBBI exposes 1 tool: kbbi_lookup. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 146 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the KBBI MCP server still maintained?

KBBI is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 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 KBBI MCP server under?

KBBI declares the BlueOak-1.0.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
