## 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 2026-10-24.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 86/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 10168 tokens (~54/item across 185 items; 20 tools + 165 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 67/100
  - Stability observed for 20 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 88/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 65% 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 20 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 22 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 (20)

### `search_tools` (~129 tokens)

Find proxy tools and integrations

Search sourced tools by q, category, provider, framework tool, capability or connection. Same response as GET /api/v1/tools. Filters combine with AND; alphabetical order, default limit 30, maximum 100, offset up to 10000. Documentation evidence is distinct from live testing. No external tool is executed.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required)

### `search_mcp_servers` (~149 tokens)

Find provider MCP servers

Search the reviewed MCP directory. Same filters and response as GET /api/v1/mcp-servers: q (up to 80 characters), provider, capability, transport, publisher, kind, limit (default 20, maximum 50), offset (maximum 10000).

Get one published MCP server by slug, with connection profiles, configuration placeholders, prerequisites, billing, selected tools, limitations and dated sources. Same record as GET /api/v1/mcp-servers/{slug}. Never installs or connects to the listed server.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): MCP server slug from search_mcp_servers, e.g. workingproxysites.

### `list_providers` (~50 tokens)

List proxy providers

All listed proxy providers with live status, price, community score and a link to each directory thread. Optionally filter by proxy type.

Input parameters:

- `type` (string): Only providers that sell this proxy type.

### `get_provider` (~100 tokens)

Get provider details

One provider: the full database record (per-type products with USD prices, pool, countries, targeting and protocols; trial, refund, KYC, payment, provenance), live status, 24-hour hourly history, the 20 latest reports, its incidents and the 20 most recent data changes. Same as GET /api/v1/providers/{slug}.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Provider slug, e.g. "bright-data". See list_providers.

### `search_providers` (~569 tokens)

Search the provider database

Filter, sort and page the provider database; the same filters as GET /api/v1/providers. Returns {total, limit, offset, filters (as applied), warnings, providers}. Default listing_status is active and the default limit here is 20 (max 200). max_price is in each matching product's own price_unit (per GB, per IP…), so combine it with type and pricing_model. Product filters (pricing_model, max_price, min_countries, min_pool, targeting, country, rotation, unlimited_bandwidth) must all hold for the same product and never match unknown values, so they only match providers whose structured products are known; see warnings. Unknown prices, pools and country counts sort last.

Input parameters:

- `api` (boolean): Offers a self-service API.
- `auth` (string): Proxy authentication method offered.
- `certification` (string): Certification or membership (ISO 27001, SOC 2, EWDCI, IWF).

- `min_countries` (integer): Minimum number of countries (for the given type when type is set).
- `min_pool` (integer): Minimum advertised pool size in IPs.
- `offset` (integer)
- `order` (string): Default asc for price and name, desc otherwise.
- `payment` (string): Accepted payment method.
- `pricing_model` (string)
- `protocol` (string): Protocol supported (for the given type when type is set).
- `q` (string): Case-insensitive match on name, slug, alias, domain or legal entity.
- `rotation` (string): A product offering this rotation mode.
- `sort` (string): Default "rank" (featured, community score, staff rank).
- `support_24_7` (boolean): Claims 24/7 support.
- `targeting` (string): Targeting option offered.
- `type` (string): Proxy type sold.
- `unlimited_bandwidth` (boolean): A product whose traffic is (true) or is not (false) unmetered.

### `quote_price` (~461 tokens)

Quote a price

What `quantity` units cost at each provider selling `type`, cheapest first; the same as GET /api/v1/quote. quantity counts GB for per_gb, IPs for per_ip, ports for per_port, thousands of requests for per_request, ports or plans for unlimited; per_ip, per_port and unlimited are priced for `months` months of monthly billing (quarterly or yearly billing too when months is a multiple of 3 or 12). Default pricing_model is the type's usual one (per_gb for residential and mobile, per_ip for datacenter and ISP). Graduated ladders are summed band by band; trial and once-only offers are never used. ip_version (default ipv4 for datacenter and ISP, where tiers without an IP version count as IPv4; any for residential and mobile) and shared (default any) choose which tiers count, and providers with no matching tier are left out (see warnings). Each quote names the tier used with its ip_version and shared; estimate: true means no usable price ladder (price_from_usd × quantity, a lower bound). List prices in USD, excluding taxes and promotions: confirm on the provider's site.

Input parameters:

- `ip_version` (string): Which tiers to price: ipv4 (tiers without an IP version count as IPv4), ipv6 or any. Default ipv4 for datacenter and isp, any for residential and mobile.
- `limit` (integer): Default 50.
- `listing_status` (string): Default "active".
- `months` (integer): For per_ip, per_port and unlimited: months of service (default 1); multiples of 3 or 12 also use quarterly or yearly prices. Ignored for per_gb and per_request.
- `pricing_model` (string): Default: the usual model for the type.
- `quantity` (number, required): Units to buy, in the pricing model's unit (whole numbers for per_ip, per_port and unlimited).
- `shared`: true: shared IPs only; false: dedicated IPs only; "any" (default): every tier. Tiers that do not say whether they are shared match only "any".
- `type` (string, required): Proxy type to price.

### `compare_providers` (~89 tokens)

Compare providers

Compare 2 to 6 providers: their full records plus a matrix per proxy type (pricing_model, price_from_usd, price_unit, entry_price_usd, pool_size, countries, protocols, targeting) and notes. Same as GET /api/v1/compare.

Input parameters:

- `slugs` (array, required): Provider slugs, e.g. ["bright-data", "oxylabs"].
