## 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 2026-09-22.

- **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**: 80/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1877 tokens (~170/item across 11 items; 10 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 97/100
  - Stability observed for 29 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 98/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 92% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 12 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.

### `get_adp_market_gaps` (~217 tokens)

Where the draft room disagrees with production

Players whose consensus average draft position disagrees most with their actual production ranking. A player taken EARLIER than his production is being drafted on expectation (a rookie, a new situation, a bounce-back); one taken LATER is being drafted on doubt. Use this for draft-prep questions about who the room may be mispricing. This is a disagreement, NOT a recommendation: production is last season's, while ADP already prices in injuries, trades and rookies with no NFL snaps.

Input parameters:

- `direction` (string): earlier_than_production: the room drafts him sooner than his production ranks him. later_than_production: the room waits longer. Omit for both.
- `limit` (integer)
- `position` (string): Restrict to one position. Omit for all four.

- `scoring_format` (string)
- `stats_season` (integer): The completed NFL season every figure in this result describes.
- `url` (string): The draftcall.io page these figures came from. This is the citation to use.

### `verify_claim` (~194 tokens)

Check a stated figure against DraftCall data

Check a number you are about to state, or one a user has stated, against DraftCall data for one player: points per game, games played, bye week, positional rank, or any season stat such as rushingYards or receptions. Returns whether the figure matches and the actual value when it does not. Use this before quoting a figure from memory, and whenever a user asserts a stat.

Input parameters:

- `metric` (string, required): Which figure to check. ppg is points per game in scoring_format; rank is positional rank; the rest are season totals.
- `player` (string, required): Player name, e.g. "Puka Nacua".
- `scoring_format` (string): Scoring format. ppr awards 1 point per reception, half_ppr 0.5, standard 0. Defaults to half_ppr, the most common league setting.
- `value` (number, required): The figure being checked.

Output parameters:

- `actual` (number|null): The real figure, or null when DraftCall holds none.
- `claimed` (number): The figure that was submitted for checking.
- `metric` (string)

- `refreshed_at` (string): When this dataset was last refreshed, as an ISO 8601 timestamp.

- `stats_season` (integer): The completed NFL season every figure in this result describes.
- `team` (string)
- `url` (string): The draftcall.io page these figures came from. This is the citation to use.
- `verdict` (string): unknown means the claim could be neither confirmed nor corrected, not that it was wrong.

### `get_strength_of_schedule` (~164 tokens)

Strength of schedule by team and position

How easy or hard a team's schedule is for one fantasy position, over the full season and over the fantasy playoff weeks (14 through 17), measured as the average fantasy points its opponents allowed to that position over the prior completed season. Give a team abbreviation or a player name; give only a position to rank all 32 teams. Use this for rest-of-season stash, trade deadline, and playoff planning questions.

Input parameters:

- `player` (string): Player name; resolves the team and position. Optional when team is given.
- `position` (string): Position to grade the schedule for. Required with team, inferred from player, and on its own ranks every team.
- `team` (string): Team abbreviation, e.g. "KC". Optional when player is given.

Output parameters:

## Common questions

### What is the DraftCall MCP server?

DraftCall is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.draftcall/fantasy-football. Should I start X or Y? NFL fantasy compares, rankings, byes, matchups, schedule strength, checks. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://draftcall.io/mcp).

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

DraftCall scores 84 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 DraftCall MCP server expose?

DraftCall exposes 10 tools: compare_players, get_rankings, get_player, search_players, get_positional_scarcity, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,275 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the DraftCall MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the DraftCall MCP server still maintained?

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