Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security89
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, but the challenge carries no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 15243 tokens (~258/item across 59 items; 45 tools + 14 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management17
- Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage84
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 44% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (91% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 45 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 47 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the AstroWay Forecasting MCP server?
AstroWay Forecasting is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.astroway.info/mcp/forecast, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

What is the AstroWay Forecasting MCP server?
AstroWay Forecasting is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as info.astroway/forecast. Transits, progressions, directions, returns, cosmobiology and evolutionary technique. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.astroway.info/mcp/forecast).
Is the AstroWay Forecasting MCP server safe to use?
AstroWay Forecasting 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 AstroWay Forecasting MCP server expose?
AstroWay Forecasting exposes 45 tools: astroway_account_status, astroway_cost_estimate, astroway_agent_tools, astroway_mcp_ai_chat, astroway_mcp_ai_comparison_coach, and 40 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 14,347 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the AstroWay Forecasting MCP server require authentication?
Yes. AstroWay Forecasting asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the AstroWay Forecasting MCP server still maintained?
AstroWay Forecasting is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 11 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
