## 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 14 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**: 81/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1183 tokens (~84/item across 14 items; 14 tools + 0 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**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

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.

### 2026-08-02 (score 70, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-07-31 (score 69, 0)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-07-30 (score 69, +1)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-07-29 (score 68, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-07-27 (score 67, +1)

### 2026-07-26 (score 66)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (14)

### `search_servers` (~212 tokens)

Search MCP servers

Search the MCPExplorer index of MCP servers by free text and filters. Omit `query` to browse the whole index ranked by trust score. Every filter either applies or is echoed back in `ignored_filters` with a reason — filters never silently do nothing.

Input parameters:

- `capability` (string): Filter to servers providing a capability slug, e.g. 'send-email'. An unknown slug is reported in ignored_filters, not silently dropped.
- `limit` (integer): Max results (default 10)
- `official_status` (string): Filter by provenance
- `query` (string): Free-text query, e.g. 'send email' or 'postgres'. Omit to browse the full index ranked by trust.
- `risk_level` (string): Filter by tool risk. 'read-only' = has tools and none are write/destructive — the safe set to hand an autonomous agent.
- `transport` (string): Filter by transport. Many servers are still 'unknown' (transport not yet probed by the crawler).

### `get_server` (~46 tokens)

Get an MCP server

Fetch the full record for one MCP server by slug: install methods, tools, trust, verification, and provenance.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Server slug, e.g. 'github'

### `get_capability` (~50 tokens)

Get a capability

List the best MCP servers that provide a capability (e.g. 'send-email', 'web-search'), ranked by trust.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Capability slug, e.g. 'send-email'

### `compare_servers` (~47 tokens)

Compare two MCP servers

Compare two MCP servers side by side: trust, transport, tools, install, and links.

Input parameters:

- `a` (string, required): First server slug
- `b` (string, required): Second server slug

### `generate_runtime_config` (~81 tokens)

Generate MCP setup config

Generate the install + client config for an MCP server in a given runtime (claude-desktop, cursor, vscode, windsurf, cline, continue, goose, openai-agents, langgraph, crewai).

Input parameters:

- `runtime` (string, required): Runtime slug, e.g. 'claude-desktop'
- `slug` (string, required): Server slug

### `check_trust` (~38 tokens)

Check trust

Return the explainable trust score, label, scoring reasons, and verification history for an MCP server.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Server slug

### `get_alternatives` (~36 tokens)

Get alternatives

Find verified MCP servers with the same capabilities as a given server, ranked by trust.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Server slug

### `list_loadouts` (~64 tokens)

List loadouts

List curated loadouts — deliberately-assembled kits of MCP servers + governance + plays for a specific job (GTM, coding, research, support, infra). The agent-facing version of the /loadouts product. Use get_loadout for the full kit with live trust.

### `get_loadout` (~81 tokens)

Get a loadout

Fetch one curated loadout: its servers (each with role + LIVE trust/transport/tool-risk from the index), an aggregated governance posture for the whole kit, and the plays (see→decide→act sequences) it's designed to run.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Loadout slug, e.g. 'gtm', 'coding', 'research'

### `list_capabilities` (~72 tokens)

List capabilities

List the capability slugs an agent can filter or look up by (e.g. 'send-email', 'query-database'), most-populated first. Use these with get_capability or search_servers' capability filter — the taxonomy isn't guessable.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max capabilities (default 30)

### `get_ecosystem_stats` (~56 tokens)

Get ecosystem stats

Live snapshot of the indexed MCP ecosystem: totals (servers, tools, handshake-verified), provenance and transport breakdowns, and the current top-trust / most-adopted / newest / biggest-trust-riser servers.

### `list_runtimes` (~48 tokens)

List runtimes

List the runtimes generate_runtime_config supports (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, agent frameworks, …), with each one's config path. Enumerate these instead of guessing runtime slugs.

### `plan_toolset` (~159 tokens)

Plan a governed toolset

Turn a plain-language goal into a recommended, governed toolset: the best-fit curated loadout (matched transparently by goal terms) plus an assembled set of the most relevant indexed servers, each with LIVE trust and tool-risk, and an aggregate governance posture for the kit. The decision layer over search/capability/trust/loadouts.

Input parameters:

- `goal` (string, required): What the agent should do, in plain language, e.g. 'triage support tickets and file bugs'.
- `limit` (integer): Max assembled servers (default 6).
- `risk_tolerance` (string): 'read-only' restricts the assembled set to servers with no write/destructive tools — the safe set for an unsupervised agent. Default 'any'.

### `report_broken_server` (~61 tokens)

Report a broken server

Report that an MCP server's install, docs, or endpoint is broken. Creates a submission for editorial review.

Input parameters:

- `detail` (string, required): What's broken (install fails, endpoint down, docs wrong, …)
- `slug` (string, required): Server slug
