## 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 2026-09-21.

- **Endpoint Security**: 66/100
  - 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 5 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 is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 89/100
  - 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 2042 tokens (~88/item across 23 items; 6 tools + 17 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 87/100
  - Stability observed for 26 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.
  - 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 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 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 (6)

### `list_upcoming_tables` (~70 tokens)

Upcoming Yerevan Product Coffee tables

The scheduled dates for the private six-person product roundtable in Yerevan, with how many guest seats remain on each. Use this to answer when the next table is or whether a given date still has room, and to get the exact `startsAt` value that request_table_seat needs.

Output parameters:

- `tables` (array)

### `search_field_notes` (~87 tokens)

Search the field notes

Search Hovhannes Hovhannisyan's written field notes on product planning, MVP scope, and building with AI agents. Returns the closest notes with a short excerpt and a link. Use this when asked what he has written or thinks about a product topic, then get_field_note to read one in full.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): What to look for, in words

Output parameters:

- `matchCount` (number)
- `notes` (array)
- `query` (string)

### `get_sprint_details` (~52 tokens)

Clarity Sprint details

What a Clarity Sprint is, what it produces, how long it takes, what it costs, and where to apply. Use this when asked how to work with Hovhannes or what he offers.

Output parameters:

- `applyAt` (string)
- `deliverable` (string)
- `duration` (string)
- `guarantee` (string)
- `name` (string)
- `price` (string)
- `summary` (string)
- `url` (string)

### `list_field_notes` (~51 tokens)

List every field note

Every published field note with its title, category and date, newest first. Use this to see the full range of what has been written before searching within it, then get_field_note to read one in full.

Output parameters:

- `count` (number)
- `notes` (array)

### `request_table_seat` (~535 tokens)

Request a seat at a Yerevan Product Coffee table

Ask for one of the five guest seats at a Yerevan Product Coffee table. Call list_upcoming_tables first and pass one of its exact `startsAt` values. This sends a real request to a real person, so it takes two calls: call it once to see exactly what would be sent, show that to the person it is about, then call it again with the same values and confirm: true. A request is not a booking — Hovhannes reads each one himself and replies within 3–5 days, and no seat is held until he does.

Input parameters:

- `building` (string): What they are building, in their own words. Optional but read
- `confirm` (boolean): Leave unset or false to validate and preview without sending anything. Set to true only after the person has seen the preview and agreed to it
- `contribution` (string): What they can offer the other five people. Optional
- `discussionQuestion` (string): The one real decision or trade-off they are stuck on and want the table's help with. Optional, and the single most useful thing to include
- `email` (string, required): Their email address. The reply and the confirmation both go here, so it has to be one they read
- `eventStart` (string, required): Which table. The exact `startsAt` from list_upcoming_tables is best, but the calendar day on its own ("2026-09-10") or the word "next" also resolve against the real schedule
- `fullName` (string, required): The applicant's full name, as they would write it
- `linkedinUrl` (string, required): Their personal LinkedIn profile URL (linkedin.com/in/…). Required: seats are chosen on who sits together, which cannot be judged from a name. Company pages, posts and shortened links are refused
- `motivation` (string): Why this table, now. Optional
- `perspective` (string, required): The perspective they bring: founder (Building or validating a product of your own.); product (Deciding scope, priority, discovery, and delivery.); design-research (Bringing users, flows, and evidence…
- `phone` (string, required): Their phone number with its country code, like +374 11 22 33 44. Used only on the evening itself and deleted if the request is closed

Output parameters:

- `alreadyRequested` (boolean)
- `confirmationEmailStatus` (string)
- `confirmationEmailedTo` (string)
- `dailyLimit` (string)
- `duplicate` (boolean)
- `instruction` (string)
- `message` (string)
- `needsConfirmation` (boolean)
- `privacyNote` (string)
- `status` (string)
- `submitted` (boolean)
- `table` (string)
- `whatHappensOnConfirm` (array)
- `willSubmit` (object)

### `get_field_note` (~114 tokens)

Read one field note in full

The complete text of a single field note. Use this after search_field_notes or list_field_notes, which return only an excerpt. Accepts the slug, the path, or the full URL — 'what-30-days-of-crawler-logs-showed', '/what-30-days-of-crawler-logs-showed' and 'https://hovhannes.io/what-30-days-of-crawler-logs-showed' all work.

Input parameters:

- `note` (string, required): The note's slug, path, or URL

Output parameters:

- `category` (string)
- `publishedAt` (string)
- `readTime` (string)
- `text` (string): The note in full, as plain text
- `title` (string)
- `url` (string)

### What is the hovhannes.io MCP server?

hovhannes.io is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.hovhannes/site. Yerevan Product Coffee: table dates, remaining seats, seat requests, and the field notes behind it. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://hovhannes.io/mcp).

### Is the hovhannes.io MCP server safe to use?

hovhannes.io scores 83 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 hovhannes.io MCP server expose?

hovhannes.io exposes 6 tools: list_upcoming_tables, search_field_notes, get_sprint_details, list_field_notes, request_table_seat, get_field_note. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 909 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the hovhannes.io MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the hovhannes.io MCP server still maintained?
