## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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 2026-11-04.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 99/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Known CVEs were checked across the 88 of 89 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - Dependency health was assessed across the 88 of 89 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 100/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to larpey/ezmd).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (Apache-2.0).
  - Actively maintained (last published 11 days ago).
  - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 78/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 571 tokens (~114/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 50/100
  - Stability observed for 15 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 67/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **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 current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (5)

### `convert_url` (~150 tokens)

Convert a web page or document URL (http/https) to Markdown. Returns page 1 of the result (at most
max_tokens, default 8000, max 50000), the section list, warnings, and next_cursor for get_job.
profile: full | compact | rag | agent (default agent). options: output options such as
{"ocr": false, "languages": ["en"], "max_pages": 50}; limits (max_pages, max_bytes, max_seconds,
max_duration_seconds) may only be lowered, and extra, converter and experimental are refused.

Input parameters:

- `max_tokens`
- `options`
- `profile`
- `url` (string, required)

### `convert_file` (~126 tokens)

Convert a local file (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, CSV, images, audio, ...) to Markdown. path must be
absolute and inside the server's allowed directories. Clients without a filesystem may instead pass
data_url (a base64 data: URL under 1 MB). Returns page 1, sections, warnings and next_cursor. options:
as for convert_url (output options; limits may only be lowered).

Input parameters:

- `data_url`
- `max_tokens`
- `options`
- `path`
- `profile`

### `convert_text` (~77 tokens)

Convert pasted text, HTML, CSV, JSON, Markdown or any string to clean Markdown. source_hint is a MIME
type or extension ("text/html", "csv") used to break ties; detection runs on the content.

Input parameters:

- `max_tokens`
- `profile`
- `source_hint`
- `text` (string, required)

### `get_job` (~83 tokens)

Return a job's status while it runs, otherwise the page at cursor (or page 1). This is the pagination
endpoint for all convert tools: pass the previous result's next_cursor unchanged. A cursor is bound to
its job and profile.

Input parameters:

- `cursor`
- `job_id` (string, required)
- `max_tokens`
- `profile`

### `list_capabilities` (~54 tokens)

Supported input types and converters (with the extra each needs when not installed), profiles,
limits, and whether URL fetching is allowed. Call it to decide whether to try an input or ask the user
to upload it instead.

## Common questions

### What is the ezmd MCP server?

ezmd is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.larpey/ezmd. Convert files, URLs and text to LLM-ready Markdown with paging, provenance and warnings. This page covers its PyPI package (ezmd-mcp).

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

ezmd scores 86 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 ezmd MCP server expose?

ezmd exposes 5 tools: convert_url, convert_file, convert_text, get_job, list_capabilities. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 490 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the ezmd MCP server still maintained?

ezmd is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the ezmd MCP server under?

ezmd declares the Apache-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
