## 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 2026-10-17.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 64/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 419 tokens (~83/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% 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 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Install

### How do I install the SourceToMe MCP server?

SourceToMe is a hosted endpoint at https://sourcetome-public.onrender.com/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.

### 2026-10-16 (score 67)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `search_library` (~83 tokens)

Search public reference library

Find passages in the public reference library: Pride and Prejudice, Frankenstein 1818/1831 and The Art of War (Giles). Includes the four available sources with stable IDs for follow-up even when no passage matches; no personal library or internet search.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required)
- `source_ids` (array)

Output parameters:

- `available_sources` (array)
- `error_code`
- `hits` (array)
- `notice` (string)
- `reason` (string)
- `status` (string)

### `retrieve_evidence` (~77 tokens)

Retrieve source evidence

Return passages, edition, locator and provenance from the bounded public library. To request an exact indexed locator, provide one source ID and that full locator. Multiple IDs permit edition comparison; missing evidence is reported.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `locator`
- `question` (string, required)
- `source_ids` (array)

Output parameters:

- `coverage` (string)
- `error_code`
- `evidence` (array)
- `independent_works` (integer)
- `limitations` (array)
- `notice` (string)
- `reason` (string)
- `status` (string)

### `inspect_source` (~49 tokens)

Inspect source and edition

Inspect one public source ID returned by search: work, edition, translator, public catalog, transcription fingerprint and complete indexed locator inventory. Cannot inspect private or arbitrary sources.

Input parameters:

- `source_id` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `error_code`
- `notice` (string)
- `reason` (string)
- `source`
- `status` (string)

### `explain_evidence` (~57 tokens)

Explain evidence coverage

Recompute evidence selection for a question and explain Strong, Limited or Insufficient heuristic coverage. Edition duplicates cannot inflate independent support. This explains selection, not factual correctness.

Input parameters:

- `question` (string, required)
- `source_ids` (array)

Output parameters:

- `coverage` (string)
- `error_code`
- `evidence_ids` (array)
- `independent_works` (integer)
- `limitations` (array)
- `notice` (string)
- `reason` (string)
- `selection_basis` (string)
- `status` (string)

### `find_evidence_gaps` (~60 tokens)

Identify missing evidence

Identify corpus limitations and kinds of evidence needed for an unsupported question. No web search, acquisition, factual answer generation or personalized advice; suggestions are gaps, never retrieved evidence.

Input parameters:

- `question` (string, required)
- `source_ids` (array)

Output parameters:

- `available_source_ids` (array)
- `coverage` (string)
- `error_code`
- `missing_evidence` (array)
- `notice` (string)
- `reason` (string)
- `status` (string)

## Common questions

### What is the SourceToMe MCP server?

SourceToMe is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.kylelloyd63-star/sourcetome. Search and cite passages from a vetted, rights-cleared reference library. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://sourcetome-public.onrender.com/mcp).

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

SourceToMe scores 67 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 SourceToMe MCP server expose?

SourceToMe exposes 5 tools: search_library, retrieve_evidence, inspect_source, explain_evidence, find_evidence_gaps. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 326 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the SourceToMe MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the SourceToMe MCP server still maintained?

SourceToMe is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 17 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
