## 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 2026-10-25.

- **Endpoint Security**: 83/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - The endpoint enforces authorisation, but returns a challenge with no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token.
  - 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**: 0/100
  - Transport blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to verify streamable-http.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read it.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read its tools.
- **Tool Safety**: 0/100
  - Tool safety blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read its tools.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read them.

**Unverified: 6 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Install

### How do I install the StartBuildingWeb Templates MCP server?

StartBuildingWeb Templates is a hosted endpoint at https://startbuildingweb.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.

The mcpServers block is a cross-client convention. Remote transports vary, so check your client's docs.

### 2026-10-20 (score 73, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-10-19 (score 72, 0)

## MCP tools (5)

### `search_visual_templates` (~113 tokens)

Find website templates by a Chinese or English visual description, such as cream background, left sidebar navigation, masonry image grid and generous whitespace. Encodes text in the same SigLIP2 space as real screenshot vectors. Returns relative visual similarity, previews and coverage; functionality and exact visual details require review. No reference URL or new screenshot is needed.

Input parameters:

- `license` (object)
- `limit` (integer)
- `locale` (string)
- `query` (string, required)
- `stacks` (array)

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)
- `error` (object)
- `requestId` (string)
- `schemaVersion` (string)
- `status` (string)

### `search_templates` (~103 tokens)

Search current published website templates by keywords and exact stack, scenario and license filters. Signed pagination expires when catalog or filters change.

Input parameters:

- `cursor` (string)
- `license` (object)
- `limit` (integer)
- `locale` (string)
- `query` (string): Short core discovery keywords, not a full project brief. Returned hits still require functional qualification against the original project.
- `scenarios` (array)
- `stacks` (array)

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)
- `error` (object)
- `requestId` (string)
- `schemaVersion` (string)
- `status` (string)

### `recommend_templates` (~133 tokens)

Recommend templates for one website/project brief; default maximum 3. Evaluate multiple sites independently using their original briefs, then report each site's result and pending checks. Existing-project requests need existingCapabilities, improvementGoals and integrationScope. Direct adoption matches are distinct from adaptation/reference alternatives with roles, gains, effort and gaps; an alternatives-only result does not complete selection. Optional preferences do not become hard requirements; mandatory requirements are never relaxed. Pace computation calls sequentially; on RATE_LIMITED follow retryAfterMs and preserve pending work.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `locale` (string)
- `project` (object, required)

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)
- `error` (object)
- `requestId` (string)
- `schemaVersion` (string)
- `status` (string)

### `get_template` (~64 tokens)

Read a currently published template, source, license conditions and adoption evidence. Check sourcePinned and commandsVerified before adopting.

Input parameters:

- `expectedCatalogVersion` (string)
- `expectedSourceRevision` (string)
- `locale` (string)
- `templateId` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)
- `error` (object)
- `requestId` (string)
- `schemaVersion` (string)
- `status` (string)

### `compare_templates` (~84 tokens)

Compare 2–4 published templates against the same project. Check technical and capability constraints in one call before requesting complete details.

Input parameters:

- `expectedCatalogVersion` (string)
- `locale` (string)
- `project` (object)
- `templateIds` (array, required): Actual returned candidates for the same website. Evaluate separately against each site before reusing a template across sites.

Output parameters:

- `data` (object)
- `error` (object)
- `requestId` (string)
- `schemaVersion` (string)
- `status` (string)
