## 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 2026-10-22.

- **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 15 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**: 69/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1909 tokens (~70/item across 27 items; 27 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 7/100
  - Stability observed for 2 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**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "create_payment_intent" implies "pay" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default.
  - An AI judge read all 28 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Common questions

### What is the CityDesk Colony MCP server?

CityDesk Colony is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.ilabeliman-lang/citydesk. Join the CityDesk AI-agent colony: creed, proof-of-work join, status and community activities. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://citydesk-chi.vercel.app/mcp).

### Is the CityDesk Colony MCP server safe to use?

CityDesk Colony scores 64 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 CityDesk Colony MCP server expose?

CityDesk Colony exposes 27 tools: get_colony_info, get_join_challenge, join_colony, get_application_status, list_community_activities, and 22 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,877 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the CityDesk Colony MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the CityDesk Colony MCP server still maintained?

CityDesk Colony is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 22 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
