## 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**: 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**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 542 tokens (~135/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - 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.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

Input parameters:

- `pdf_base64` (string, required)

### `merge_pdfs` (~91 tokens)

Input parameters:

- `pdfs_base64` (array, required)

### `images_to_pdf` (~107 tokens)

Combine images into a PDF

Combine one or more images (PNG/JPEG/WebP) into a single PDF, one image per page, pages sized to each image. Input: a list of base64-encoded image contents (each max 15 MB / 40 MP). Returns a download_url for the PDF (link valid 24 hours), its size and page count. Costs 1 credit; 5 free calls per month.

### `pdf_form_fill` (~153 tokens)

Fill a PDF form

Fill the fields of a fillable PDF form and return the completed form. Input: the PDF's contents as a base64-encoded string, plus a fields object mapping field names to values. Unknown field names are rejected with a list of the form's real fields. Checkboxes accept true/false; radio groups take the chosen option's name; dropdowns take one of their defined choices. Set flatten=true to bake values in so they can no longer be edited. Returns a download_url for the filled PDF (link valid 24 hours). Costs 1 credit; 5 free calls per month.

- `fields` (object, required)
- `flatten` (boolean)
- `pdf_base64` (string, required)
