Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security71
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability67
- 60% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Partial
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 1129 tokens (~70/item across 16 items; 14 tools + 2 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management47
- Stability observed for 14 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage74
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 21% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 14 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 16 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
How do I install the media.probable/news MCP server?
media.probable/news is a hosted endpoint at https://probable.media/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 tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

get_brief Get a compact source-grounded brief ~141
Use for a current news brief or catch-up job. Return a five-story cited brief diversified across category, event class, and publisher by default. Use chronological or all for stable cursor paging. A balanced resumeCursor continues as a complete chronological change stream, even when the client repeats mode=balanced. Follow unreadCursor before saving resumeCursor. Do not use as a general web search or for events Probable did not observe.

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_context Put a headline or known source URL in context ~84
Use when a user supplies a headline or a source URL already observed by Probable and wants same-class context. Optional referenceContext adds explicit country, magnitude, industry or aviation scope for primary-source population references; missingFields and conflicts explain withheld matches. Unknown URLs are not fetched and instead request a headline. Do not use this to verify occurrence, compare unrelated event classes, or forecast.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_membership Get Probable membership terms ~36
Return Free and Founding Pro terms and available Stripe-hosted checkout URLs. Calling this tool does not open checkout or claim payment success.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_classes List Probable taxonomy classes ~37

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_watches List Founding Pro saved watches ~34
List the member's saved monitors and recent matches. Requires member authorization with watches:read and an active Founding Pro entitlement.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
read_edition_by_date Read a public Probable edition by date ~72
Read a stored edition inside the seven-day public window. Older editions return an access boundary and links; this tool never bypasses membership or payment.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Only return replacements in this category. |
| date | string | yes | America/Los_Angeles edition date in YYYY-MM-DD format. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
read_latest_edition Read the latest Probable edition ~62
Read the latest source-grounded Probable edition. Every replacement is a different event observed in the same scan and category with a higher editorial comparison index; that index is not a measured occurrence rate.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Only return replacements in this category. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
score_headline Score a headline against Probable's observed base rates ~111
Classify one supplied headline and inspect coverage recurrence. Optional referenceContext adds explicit country, magnitude, industry or aviation scope. When sufficiently scoped, occurrenceReference separately supplies primary-source counts, exposure or published population rates with units and source periods. Missing fields, conflicts and hypothetical/disputed/historical wording are disclosed; news mentions never update source rates. Do not verify a headline, compare incompatible units, predict an outcome, or score a URL.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| title | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.

Is the media.probable/news MCP server safe to use?
media.probable/news scores 73 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 media.probable/news MCP server expose?
media.probable/news exposes 14 tools: read_latest_edition, get_brief, get_context, list_editions, read_edition_by_date, and 9 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 985 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the media.probable/news MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to media.probable/news without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the media.probable/news MCP server still maintained?
