## 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**: 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**: 81/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 925 tokens (~115/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 80/100
  - Stability observed for 24 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 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 9 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 (8)

### `aihot_get_latest` (~145 tokens)

Get the latest AIHOT items for a 24-hour or 7-day briefing. Prefer selected mode unless the user explicitly asks for every public item. Do not use this for named-topic search or multi-source event context.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Optional category: ai-models, ai-products, industry, paper, tip, opinion.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of results, from 1 to 30.
- `mode` (string): selected returns editorial picks; all returns every public item scoring 40 or more.
- `window` (string): Time window. Use 24h for a current briefing and 7d for a weekly view.

### `aihot_search` (~130 tokens)

Search AIHOT's latest 7 days by a 2–200 character topic, company, model, product, or person. It searches editorial picks first and automatically expands to all public items only when picks have no result.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Optional category: ai-models, ai-products, industry, paper, tip, opinion.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of results, from 1 to 30.
- `q` (string, required): Search query, 2 to 200 characters.
- `window` (string): Search window. Defaults to the latest 7 days.

### `aihot_get_hot_topics` (~83 tokens)

Get the current AIHOT Top 10 with each event's one-based rank. Use this for 'what is hot now' and to discover valid story public IDs; use aihot_get_latest for a chronological news list. Internal heat scores are not returned.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of current topics, from 1 to 10.

### `aihot_get_story` (~106 tokens)

Get the evolving timeline, latest development, AI digest, and related events for one public story. Only pass a public_id obtained from aihot_get_hot_topics links.story; never invent or infer IDs.

Input parameters:

- `public_id` (string, required): Opaque story public ID. Obtain it from the final path segment of aihot_get_hot_topics links.story; never guess it.
- `report_limit` (integer): Maximum number of timeline reports, from 1 to 50.

### `aihot_get_daily` (~71 tokens)

Get AIHOT's edited daily overview, either the latest issue or a real YYYY-MM-DD date. Use this when the user asks for a daily report rather than a raw chronological list.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Optional real calendar date in YYYY-MM-DD. Omit for the latest daily report.

### `aihot_get_weekly` (~86 tokens)

Get AIHOT's edited weekly report: the week's most important events chosen from its dailies, grouped by section, with an overview. Use this for what happened this week or in a given ISO week; omit week for the latest.

Input parameters:

- `week` (string): Optional real ISO week such as 2026-W39. Omit for the latest weekly report.

### `aihot_get_monthly` (~87 tokens)

Get AIHOT's edited monthly report: the month's most important events chosen from its dailies, grouped by section, with an overview. Use this for what happened this month or in a given month; omit month for the latest.

Input parameters:

- `month` (string): Optional real month in YYYY-MM such as 2026-09. Omit for the latest monthly report.

### `aihot_get_codex_resets` (~77 tokens)

Get Tibo's Codex usage-limit resets and reset credits as AIHOT tracks them: announcements still waiting to take effect, the last 7 days and the last landed one, each with its evidence. Keep the evidence distinctions in the answer: a confirmation post, a verified receipt and an estimate are different things.

AIHOT is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.KKKKhazix/aihot. Chinese AI news: search topics, explore hot events, and read daily, weekly and monthly briefs. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://aihot.news/api/mcp).

### Is the AIHOT MCP server safe to use?

AIHOT scores 86 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 AIHOT MCP server expose?

AIHOT exposes 8 tools: aihot_get_latest, aihot_search, aihot_get_hot_topics, aihot_get_story, aihot_get_daily, and 3 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 785 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the AIHOT MCP server require authentication?

### Is the AIHOT MCP server still maintained?

AIHOT is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
