## 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**: 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 1 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**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2021 tokens (~134/item across 15 items; 15 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 97/100
  - Stability observed for 29 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 93/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 78% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "withdraw" implies "withdraw" and declares readOnlyHint instead, contradicting what its own name says it does.
  - An AI judge read all 16 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (15)

### `list_stocks` (~67 tokens)

List stocks

Tokenized stocks listed on The River, with ticker, token symbol, issuer, chain and trade link. Filter by chain and/or a search query (ticker, symbol or name).

- `chain` (string)
- `query` (string): e.g. NVDA or nvidia

### `trade_link` (~184 tokens)

Trade link

A pre-filled River trade link. A buy by ticker with usd (no address or chain) returns a best-price link that opens the cheapest issuer for the user. Give exactly one of usd (buy only, settlement stablecoin, up to 6 decimals) or qty (tokens, up to 18 decimals). The user reviews this on The River and signs in their own wallet; nothing happens until they do.

Input parameters:

- `chain` (string): When a ticker is listed on more than one chain
- `qty` (string|number): Plain decimal, e.g. 50 or 0.25
- `side` (string, required)
- `ticker` (string): e.g. NVDA
- `usd` (string|number): Plain decimal, e.g. 50 or 0.25

### `strategy_link` (~227 tokens)

Strategy link

A pre-filled River strategy card link (Base, ST0x stocks).

Missing fields are left for the user. See https://theriver.markets/llms.txt for what each card does. The user reviews this on The River and signs in their own wallet; nothing happens until they do.

Input parameters:

- `fields` (object): Card fields as plain decimals, e.g. {"amount":"100","discount":"0.3"}
- `symbol` (string): Ticker or token symbol, e.g. NVDA or wtNVDA (not for portfolio)

### `wallet_pnl` (~142 tokens)

Wallet P&L

Any wallet's profit and loss on Base, from public chain data. Wallet: its stock tokens since 1 Oct 2026, average cost from the wallet's own USDC trades on any venue (DEX or orderbook), realised and unrealised per token; transfers are never priced. Strategies: one row per strategy (live and cancelled orders it placed, incl. its RiverAccount): fills, USDC spent and received, tokens bought and sold, and P&L at today's prices (value now minus what was put in). Robinhood Chain is not counted yet (stated in notes).

Input parameters:

- `address` (string, required): 0x... wallet address

### `compare_issuers` (~122 tokens)

Compare tokenized stock prices across issuers

Where a tokenized stock is cheapest: each issuer's token (ST0x, Coinbase, Robinhood) priced per share for a $100 buy, against the stock's own price (US, or the home exchange's in dollars), with the gap in % and the lowest issuer. From quotes taken every 5 minutes (biggest stocks) or hourly; the time is in the answer. Not a live quote: for an executable best-price buy use trade_link with usd. Up to 12 tickers.

Input parameters:

- `tickers` (array, required)

### `fair_value` (~39 tokens)

US fair value

Last US market price and market status of listed stocks (what the tokens track). Up to 12 tickers.

## Common questions

### What is the The River MCP server?

The River is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as markets.theriver/the-river. Trade and invest in tokenized stocks: prices, holdings, P&L, unsigned market/limit/recurring trades. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://theriver.markets/mcp).

### Is the The River MCP server safe to use?

The River scores 75 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 The River MCP server expose?

The River exposes 15 tools: list_stocks, trade_link, strategy_link, wallet_holdings, wallet_pnl, and 10 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,955 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the The River MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the The River MCP server still maintained?

The River 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.
