## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - 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**: 66/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 661 tokens (~220/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**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `search_games` (~117 tokens)

Resolve games to Steam appids

Resolve one or more game names to their Steam appids on needmoar.games. Call this first to turn a title like "Hollow Knight" into the numeric appid the versus and game_detail tools need. Accepts several names at once — pass every game the user mentioned in a single call and match each to its result.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max matches to return per name (1-10, default 5).
- `queries` (array, required): Game names to look up. Pass every title the user mentioned at once.

### `versus` (~126 tokens)

Compare two games head-to-head

Head-to-head verdict for two games on needmoar.games: which one players like more, each game's community score (the share of a library it beats) and rank, and the full distribution of opinions on both. Use this to answer "do people prefer A or B?". Pass Steam appids — resolve names with search_games first. The response links to the matching /vs page you can cite.

Input parameters:

- `appid_a` (integer, required): Steam appid of the first game (resolve names with search_games).
- `appid_b` (integer, required): Steam appid of the second game.

### `game_detail` (~119 tokens)

How liked is a game

The community consensus for one game on needmoar.games: how liked it is (the share of a typical library it beats), its tier and rank, the full distribution of opinions, and the games players who like it also like or dislike — useful for "how popular / well-liked is X?" and "games similar to X". Pass a Steam appid — resolve names with search_games first. The response links to the game's page you can cite.

Input parameters:

- `appid` (integer, required): Steam appid of the game (resolve names with search_games).
