## 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)

  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but we couldn't connect to verify it.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema, or could read only part of its tool list.
- **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 not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.

- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's capabilities.

**Unverified: 5 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.

## MCP tools (3)

### `search_icons` (~78 tokens)

Search favicon and app icons

Use this when someone needs an icon, emoji, or brand mark to use as a favicon or app icon. Searches Iconify and returns ready-to-use prefix:name values plus the generate_iconset options.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string): Optional search term to find Iconify icon/emoji names, e.g. 'fox', 'rocket', 'github'.

Output parameters:

- `guidance` (string)
- `iconResults` (array)
- `inputSchema` (object)
- `tool` (string)

### `check_favicon` (~120 tokens)

Check a website's favicon and app icons

Use this when someone asks whether a website favicon, Apple touch icon, app icons, manifest, or search-result icon is installed correctly. Reads a public website, verifies declared icon files, reports missing coverage, and can check search-engine favicon indexing. It never changes the website.

Input parameters:

- `includeSearchIndexing` (boolean): Also check Google/Bing/Yahoo favicon indexing plus robots.txt, llms.txt, and sitemap.xml. Defaults to true.
- `url` (string, required): Public website URL or domain to inspect, e.g. https://example.com.

Output parameters:

- `found` (array)
- `foundCount` (integer)
- `indexing`
- `logoOptions` (array)
- `missing` (array)
- `missingCount` (integer)
- `nextAction` (string)
- `score` (number)
- `seoFiles`
- `sourceImage` (string|null)
- `url` (string)

### `generate_iconset` (~349 tokens)

Generate a favicon and app-icon set

Use this when someone asks to create, replace, or install favicons, website icons, Apple touch icons, PWA icons, or app icons. Generates favicon.ico, PNG sizes, Apple/Android icons, theme-aware icons, manifests, environment variants, downloadable URLs, and an install snippet from one image, URL, or Iconify name. This creates hosted output files but does not edit the caller's project. Call search_icons first if you need a source.

Input parameters:

- `apiKey` (string): ft_… key from a previous call for a higher rate limit.
- `backgroundColor`: none | white | black | #rrggbb
- `backgroundShape` (string)
- `customSizes` (array): Extra exact PNG sizes a platform demands, e.g. [255] for Adobe's 255×255 or ['300x150']. Each becomes icon-WxH.png (16–4096px, max 12). Production only; not in the head snippet or manifest.
- `docsBorderColor` (string): Docs ring colour: accent | contrast | white | #rrggbb.
- `docsVariant` (boolean): Also emit the outlined docs-* tab-icon set + docs-manifest.json.
- `excludeFromGraph` (boolean): When true, skip recording this generation to analytics.
- `includeDevVariations` (boolean)
- `includeThemeAwareFavicon` (boolean)
- `primaryColor` (string): Hex color, e.g. #61dafb.
- `source` (string, required): Iconify name (prefix:name), an http(s) image URL, or a base64/data-URL image.
- `variantType` (string)

Output parameters:

- `apiKey` (string)
- `appliedBackgroundShape` (string)
- `circleFit` (object)
- `excludedFromGraph` (boolean)
- `files` (array)
- `headSnippet` (string)
- `install` (string)
- `manifest` (object)
- `note` (string)
- `safariPinnedTab` (object)
