## 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**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (save_site).
  - 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**: 79/100
  - 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 1707 tokens (~74/item across 23 items; 20 tools + 3 resources), lean.
  - 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**: 76/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 29% 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.
  - All 2 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 22 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).

### `catalog` (~30 tokens)

Start here to build a website. Returns templates, industries, style presets and a complete starter document to fill in.

Input parameters:

- `agentName` (string, required)
- `document` (object, required)
- `email` (string, required)
- `idempotencyKey` (string): Optional. Set a random key and reuse it exactly when retrying, so a retry is not applied twice

Read onboarding status using the private continuation credential.

Input parameters:

- `continuationCredential` (string, required)
- `id` (string, required)

### `exchange_onboarding` (~74 tokens)

## Common questions

### What is the Cockatoo MCP server?

Cockatoo is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.louisblythe/cockatoo. Create, edit and publish hosted business websites with owner-approved access. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://app.cockatoo.com.au/mcp).

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

Cockatoo 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 Cockatoo MCP server expose?

Cockatoo exposes 20 tools: catalog, start_onboarding, onboarding_status, exchange_onboarding, get_site, and 15 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,174 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Cockatoo MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the Cockatoo MCP server still maintained?

Cockatoo 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.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Cockatoo MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on Cockatoo, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 9 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
