## 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 2026-10-25.

- **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**: 81/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 826 tokens (~118/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**: 37/100
  - Stability observed for 11 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 8 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 (7)

### `bithot_get_latest` (~145 tokens)

Get the latest BITHOT items for a 24-hour or 7-day briefing. Prefer selected mode unless the user explicitly asks for every public item. Do not use this for named-topic search or multi-source event context.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Optional category: projects, memecoins, products, markets, investment, industry, security, tip, opinion.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of results, from 1 to 30.
- `mode` (string): selected returns editorial picks; all returns every public item.
- `window` (string): Time window. Use 24h for a current briefing and 7d for a weekly view.

### `bithot_search` (~135 tokens)

Search BITHOT's latest 7 days by a 2–200 character topic, company, model, product, or person. It searches editorial picks first and automatically expands to all public items only when picks have no result.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Optional category: projects, memecoins, products, markets, investment, industry, security, tip, opinion.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of results, from 1 to 30.
- `q` (string, required): Search query, 2 to 200 characters.
- `window` (string): Search window. Defaults to the latest 7 days.

### `bithot_get_hot_topics` (~82 tokens)

Get the current BITHOT Top 10 with each event's one-based rank. Use this for 'what is hot now' and to discover valid story public IDs; use bithot_get_latest for a chronological news list. Internal heat scores are not returned.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of current topics, from 1 to 10.

### `bithot_get_story` (~103 tokens)

Get the evolving timeline, latest development, AI digest, and related events for one public story. Only pass a public_id obtained from bithot_get_hot_topics links.story; never invent or infer IDs.

Input parameters:

- `public_id` (string, required): Opaque story public ID. Obtain it from the final path segment of bithot_get_hot_topics links.story; never guess it.
- `report_limit` (integer): Maximum number of timeline reports, from 1 to 50.

### `bithot_get_daily` (~71 tokens)

Get BITHOT's edited daily overview, either the latest issue or a real YYYY-MM-DD date. Use this when the user asks for a daily report rather than a raw chronological list.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Optional real calendar date in YYYY-MM-DD. Omit for the latest daily report.

### `bithot_get_weekly` (~86 tokens)

Input parameters:

- `week` (string): Optional real ISO week such as 2026-W39. Omit for the latest weekly report.

### `bithot_get_monthly` (~87 tokens)

## Common questions

### What is the BITHOT MCP server?

BITHOT is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.ifcode/bithot. Read-only MCP for curated crypto, Web3, and memecoin picks and reports. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://bithot.news/api/mcp).

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

BITHOT scores 77 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. 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 BITHOT MCP server expose?

BITHOT exposes 7 tools: bithot_get_latest, bithot_search, bithot_get_hot_topics, bithot_get_story, bithot_get_daily, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 709 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the BITHOT MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to BITHOT without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the BITHOT MCP server still maintained?

BITHOT is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
