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 Security80

The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail

Transport & Reachability100

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

Schema Quality & AI Usability71

AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
Tool/resource definitions use about 880 tokens (~110/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail

Stability & Change Management10

Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

Tool Coverage97

100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
91% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial

Capabilities100

Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
