## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 69/100
  - 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 523 tokens (~104/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 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.

## MCP tools (5)

### `list_profiles` (~117 tokens)

List mushroom grow profiles

List Shroom Labs mushroom grow profiles (species and strains such as lion's mane, pearl oyster, shiitake). Each has a slug for get_profile, total grow days and a canonical URL. Culinary only by default; set include_off_menu to also list educational Off-menu profiles (always returned with a legal notice).

Input parameters:

- `include_off_menu` (boolean): Also include educational Off-menu profiles. Default false.
- `query` (string): Optional filter on name, species or tag, e.g. 'oyster' or 'beginner'.

### `get_profile` (~101 tokens)

Get a mushroom grow profile

Get the full grow recipe for one mushroom by slug (e.g. 'lions-mane', 'pearl-oyster', 'shiitake'): every stage with days, temperature (C and F), humidity, fresh air exchange (fan) and light hours, plus chamber tips and sources.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Profile slug from list_profiles, e.g. 'lions-mane'. A plain name like 'Lion's Mane' also works.

### `search_grow_content` (~91 tokens)

Search mushroom growing guides

Search Shroom Labs grow profiles, troubleshooting guides (not pinning, contamination, leggy stems, humidity and fresh air) and blog posts. Returns titles, short descriptions and canonical URLs to cite.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max results. Default 8.
- `query` (string, required): Words to search for, e.g. 'mushrooms not pinning' or 'oyster kit'.

### `get_chamber_guide` (~101 tokens)

Get a grow chamber guide

Get Shroom Labs guides for automated mushroom grow chambers: which chambers work ('chambers'), installing free OpenShrooly firmware on a Shrooly chamber ('install'), what happened to the Shrooly app ('what-happened-to-shrooly'), keeping a Terrashroom running ('terrashroom'), and more. Omit topic to list all.

Input parameters:

- `topic` (string): Which guide. Omit to list all topics.

### `grow_timeline` (~70 tokens)

Mushroom grow timeline

Day by day timeline for growing one mushroom: each stage with its start day, end day and conditions, and the total days from start to harvest. Use for 'how long does X take to grow'.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Profile slug or name, e.g. 'pearl-oyster'.
