Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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. How we score →

Endpoint Security78

The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
HTTPS not yet verified: we couldn't determine whether a plaintext access path exists. View diagnostics → Unverified
HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial

Transport & Reachability100

Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass

Schema Quality & AI Usability77

AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
Tool/resource definitions use about 1587 tokens (~105/item across 15 items; 15 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail

Stability & Change Management23

Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

Tool Coverage100

100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass

Capabilities60

Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
