- Auth: `none`
- Version: `0.6.2`

## 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**: 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**: 73/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2738 tokens (~391/item across 7 items; 7 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.

## 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.

### 2026-07-26 (score 64)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (7)

### `list_policies` (~28 tokens)

List available decisioning policies (strict, shipping, standard, permissive) with their thresholds.

### `retrieve_address` (~204 tokens)

Resolve a suggestion id from address.suggestions into its full cleansed address components (organisation, sub-building, number, street, city, province, postcode, country). Use this when you need the address itself — to fill a form or show a confirmation — rather than a decision; to verify a chosen suggestion instead, pass 'suggestion_id' to verify_address. CONSUMES A LOQATE CREDIT per call, so resolve only the one suggestion the user chose. The result is reference data, NOT a verification. Requires a Loqate API key.

Input parameters:

- `key` (string): Loqate API key — required unless the server has one configured or the request carries an Authorization: Bearer header
- `suggestion_id` (string, required): Id of a suggestion previously returned in address.suggestions. CONSUMES A LOQATE CREDIT. Ids are not stable over time; a stale one returns SUGGESTION_NOT_FOUND and you must search again rather than r…

### `show_policy` (~34 tokens)

Show full details for a specific decisioning policy.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): Policy name: strict shipping standard or permissive

### `verify_address` (~1147 tokens)

Verify an address against Loqate's global reference data. Returns a confidence score (0-1), verification status, and a policy-driven accept/review/reject recommendation. Set 'suggest' to also get alternative addresses suggested by Loqate whenever the address does not clear the policy; offer them to the user and verify the chosen one in a second call before treating it as good. Suggestions require a separately licensed Loqate feature enabled on the account — without it, verification still succeeds and the problem is reported in suggestions.error. Requires a Loqate API key — pass it via the 'key' field (get one at account.loqate.com).

Input parameters:

- `address` (string): Full address string (free-form — use this OR structured fields below)
- `address2` (string): Second address line

- `suggestion_id` (string): Id of a suggestion previously returned in address.suggestions. The tool retrieves that address's cleansed components from Loqate and verifies those, which is how you confirm a suggestion the user cho…
