## 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**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1119 tokens (~111/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 33/100
  - Stability observed for 10 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 98/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 93% 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 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 11 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 40/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Common questions

### What is the VLSI Korea Semiconductor Data MCP server?

VLSI Korea Semiconductor Data is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as kr.vlsi/vlsi-korea. Semiconductor data for AI agents: 2,600+ articles in 9 languages, daily briefing, 113 tickers. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.vlsi.kr/mcp).

### Is the VLSI Korea Semiconductor Data MCP server safe to use?

VLSI Korea Semiconductor Data scores 76 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 VLSI Korea Semiconductor Data MCP server expose?

VLSI Korea Semiconductor Data exposes 10 tools: get_hiring_index, get_news_feed, get_predictions, search_qna, lookup_term, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 901 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the VLSI Korea Semiconductor Data MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to VLSI Korea Semiconductor Data without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the VLSI Korea Semiconductor Data MCP server still maintained?

VLSI Korea Semiconductor Data 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.
