## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 11 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - 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**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1277 tokens (~116/item across 11 items; 11 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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).
  - 95% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (11)

### `browse_types` (~65 tokens)

List all CryptoPunk type categories with their counts. Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_traits, get_punk_details, get_listings, get_floor_price, get_bids_for_punk, get_bids_for_merkle_root).

### `browse_traits` (~104 tokens)

List all CryptoPunk traits with their counts. Optionally filter by type to see how many punks of that type have each trait. Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_types, get_punk_details, get_listings, get_floor_price, get_bids_for_punk, get_bids_for_merkle_root).

Input parameters:

- `type` (string): Filter counts to a specific type (e.g. 'Male', 'Zombie')

### `filter_punks` (~126 tokens)

Filter CryptoPunks by type and traits. Returns matching punk IDs and their Merkle root. Rate limit: 5 per 10 min (compute bucket — shared with compute_merkle_root, resolve_merkle_root).

Input parameters:

- `excludedTraits` (array): Traits to exclude
- `includedTraits` (array): Traits to include
- `matchMode` (string): 'all' = punk must have every included trait, 'any' = at least one
- `types` (array): Type names to include (e.g. ['Male', 'Zombie']). Empty = all types.

### `get_punk_details` (~89 tokens)

Get metadata for specific CryptoPunks: type, traits with rarity percentages, and permalink. Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_types, browse_traits, get_listings, get_floor_price, get_bids_for_punk, get_bids_for_merkle_root).

Input parameters:

- `punkIds` (array, required): Punk IDs to look up (1-100)

### `compute_merkle_root` (~90 tokens)

Compute the Merkle root for a set of CryptoPunk IDs. The root matches the on-chain Solady MerkleProofLib encoding used by the Stash contract. Rate limit: 5 per 10 min (compute bucket — shared with filter_punks, resolve_merkle_root).

Input parameters:

- `punkIds` (array, required): Punk IDs to include in the Merkle tree (1-10000)

### `get_listings` (~200 tokens)

Get currently listed CryptoPunks from the native marketplace. By default returns only publicly buyable listings (excludes restricted onlySellTo and zero-value entries); pass `includeRestricted: true` to include private bundle sales. Optionally filter by price range. Returns `totalActive` (publicly buyable listings, same denominator as get_floor_price) and `matchedCount` (after your filters). Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_types, browse_traits, get_punk_details, get_floor_price, get_bids_for_punk, get_bids_for_merkle_root).

Input parameters:

- `includeRestricted` (boolean): Include restricted (onlySellTo) and zero-value listings. Default false — matches get_floor_price.
- `limit` (integer): Max results (default 50)
- `maxPriceEth` (number): Maximum price in ETH
- `minPriceEth` (number): Minimum price in ETH

### `get_floor_price` (~94 tokens)

Get the current floor ask price from the native CryptoPunks marketplace. Excludes restricted (onlySellTo) and zero-value listings. Returns `totalActive` (same denominator as get_listings). Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_types, browse_traits, get_punk_details, get_listings, get_bids_for_punk, get_bids_for_merkle_root).

### `get_bids_for_punk` (~110 tokens)

Get pending EIP-712 bids that include a specific CryptoPunk. Returns bids from the CryptoPunks Bids API. Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_types, browse_traits, get_punk_details, get_listings, get_floor_price, get_bids_for_merkle_root).

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max bids to return (default 5)
- `punkId` (integer, required): Punk ID to look up bids for

### `get_bids_for_merkle_root` (~116 tokens)

Get pending EIP-712 bids matching a specific Merkle root. Useful for seeing competition on a trait-based bid set. Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_types, browse_traits, get_punk_details, get_listings, get_floor_price, get_bids_for_punk).

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max bids to return (default 5)
- `merkleRoot` (string, required): Merkle root (0x-prefixed, 32 bytes hex)

### `get_bid_recommendation` (~148 tokens)

Analyze market data and recommend a bid price range for a CryptoPunk trait selection. Combines floor price, competing bids, and set composition into actionable guidance. `composition` lists only the traits that define the selection; use `absentTraits` for a full exclusion list when needed. Rate limit: 1 per 1 min (recommend bucket).

Input parameters:

- `excludedTraits` (array): Traits to exclude
- `includedTraits` (array): Traits to include
- `matchMode` (string)
- `punkIds` (array): Explicit punk IDs (overrides trait filters)
- `types` (array): Type names to filter (e.g. ['Male', 'Zombie'])

### `resolve_merkle_root` (~135 tokens)

Reverse-engineer a Merkle root back to its punk IDs and inferred trait selection. ONLY works for roots that already have at least one bid in the CryptoPunks Bids API — this tool looks bids up by root, then derives trait config from the resulting punk set. Returns `resolved: false` for unknown roots; constructing a root locally and passing it here will not work. Rate limit: 5 per 10 min (compute bucket — shared with filter_punks, compute_merkle_root).

Input parameters:

- `merkleRoot` (string, required): Merkle root to resolve (0x-prefixed, 32 bytes hex)
