## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 86/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.

- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 71/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 528 tokens (~88/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - 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.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-03 (score 68, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (6)

### `recommend_mcp_for_task` (~92 tokens)

Recommend the best MCP servers for a natural-language task. Returns top 3 ranked picks with reasoning, install commands, and quality scores. Use this when the user asks for the right MCP server for a task they want to do.

Input parameters:

- `task` (string, required): Natural-language description of the task, e.g. "read PDFs and write to S3" or "search GitHub and open a PR".

### `search_mcp_servers` (~85 tokens)

Keyword + semantic search across every MCP server mcpindex indexes. Use when the user knows what tool category they want but not which server.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Optional category filter (e.g. database, browser, github, productivity).
- `limit` (number): Max results (default 10, max 50).
- `query` (string, required): Search query.

### `get_install_command` (~69 tokens)

Get the exact install command for a given MCP server and client. Returns a JSON block ready to paste into the client config.

Input parameters:

- `client` (string, required): Target client.
- `server_slug` (string, required): Slug of the server (from search_mcp_servers or recommend_mcp_for_task results).

### `compare_servers` (~42 tokens)

Side-by-side comparison of 2-5 MCP servers - quality scores, install paths, env vars.

Input parameters:

- `slugs` (array, required): Server slugs to compare.

### `check_tool_trust` (~163 tokens)

Pre-invocation advisory screen for a specific tool on an MCP server. Returns an advisory verdict object (directive ALLOW | DENY | REVIEW | UNVERIFIED, dimensions, freshness). At v1 the public screen produces REVIEW or UNVERIFIED only - ALLOW/DENY are reserved. Not the in-path gate (mcpindex-gate). Agents SHOULD treat UNVERIFIED as "human review required", never as ALLOW.

Input parameters:

- `server_id` (string, required): Registry slug from search_mcp_servers / recommend results, e.g. "io-github-microsoft-playwright-mcp" (NOT a short name like "github").
- `tool_name` (string, required): Tool name as exposed by the server (e.g. "create_pull_request").

### `assess_server` (~77 tokens)

Aggregated pre-flight trust assessment across all tools on an MCP server. Same verdict shape as check_tool_trust. Use for "is THIS server worth integrating?" decisions. v1 advisory; conformance monitored not enforced; verdicts may be UNVERIFIED if not yet probed.

Input parameters:

- `server_id` (string, required): Server slug to assess.
