## 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 2026-09-27.

- **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**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 364 tokens (~182/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - 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.
  - 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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 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.

## Install

### How do I install the io.tranx/alice MCP server?

io.tranx/alice is a hosted endpoint at https://tranx.io/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-09-26 (score 73, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-09-25 (score 72, 0)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-09-24 (score 72, +1)

- [functional improvement] Stability: unverified → 0.03

### 2026-09-23 (score 71)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (2)

### `check_ai_visibility` (~188 tokens)

Check AI visibility

Check whether AI names a website when buyers ask, and whether AI can read it. Starts a live check of one brand-name question and one buyer question on Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Claude (results fill in on the report link within about a minute), and returns a 0-100 AI readability score: which AI crawlers the site allows or blocks, whether content is server-rendered, structured-data coverage, and the highest-impact fixes. Use when someone asks whether ChatGPT, Claude or Google AI mention or cite their site, how their site appears to AI, whether AI can read or find it, or asks for an SEO or AI visibility audit of a URL.

Input parameters:

- `full` (boolean): Include classic SEO, crawlability and analytics-tag sections. Default returns AI visibility only.
- `url` (string, required): Site or page URL. Scheme optional; https:// is assumed.

Output parameters:

- `ai_check` (object): The live brand-name / buyer-question check across the AI engines. status "checking" means the engines are still answering; the report_url shows the settled result.
- `checks` (object)
- `gated` (boolean)
- `next_step` (string)
- `report_url` (string)
- `scanned_at` (string)
- `score` (integer|null)
- `score_breakdown` (object)
- `top_actions` (array)
- `url` (string)

### `compare_ai_visibility` (~113 tokens)

Compare AI visibility

Compare how visible several websites are to AI answer engines, side by side. Scans 2-4 URLs and ranks them by AI visibility score, showing which blocks AI crawlers, which is server-rendered, and which has answer-ready structured data. Use when someone wants to benchmark their site against competitors, or asks why a competitor gets recommended by AI assistants and they do not.

Input parameters:

- `urls` (array, required): Two to four site URLs. Put the user’s own site first; results are returned ranked by score.

Output parameters:

- `gated` (boolean)
- `next_step` (string)
- `rows` (array)
