## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - 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 3 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.
  - 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**: 66/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 385 tokens (~128/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `get_starter_file` (~113 tokens)

Get the REAL Brainfile free-tier starter files — the on-ramp that turns generic Claude into a project that remembers you. Full text, no account needed. Files: INTERVIEW-ME.md (first-session interview that personalizes your CLAUDE.md), START-HERE.md (orientation + first prompt), CLAUDE.starter.md (starter operating-system playbook). Omit 'name' to get all three.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string): Which starter file to fetch. Omit for all three.

### `list_pack_contents` (~110 tokens)

List the full Brainfile pack manifest: the v1 pattern files (Autopilot protocol, never-empty backlog, never-forgets ledger, interview onboarding, end-of-run brief template, conversation-history pattern, freshness feed — each with a one-line description; starter files fetchable right here over MCP, the rest via the free no-card trial pull), plus the paid role packs (15) — listed but locked, with the unlock URL. Use this to see everything Brainfile ships before starting a trial.

### `get_freshness_sample` (~76 tokens)

Get the real Brainfile freshness feed entry that ships in the pack — the weekly 'living system' update (the same improvements we run on our own six live businesses + what changed in Claude Code, with how to apply each to your brain/). This is the retention mechanic; a paid license keeps the newest feed flowing.
