## 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 2026-08-17.

- **Endpoint Security**: 66/100
  - 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 12 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 is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **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 865 tokens (~72/item across 12 items; 12 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**: 40/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; the latest is 2026-07-28.

Returns top-10 names per year, total birth counts per year, and the full year range covered by the dataset.

### `compare_names` (~55 tokens)

Side-by-side comparison of 2-3 names: full yearly series for each so trends can be plotted or contrasted directly.

Input parameters:

- `names` (array, required): Names to compare, e.g. ["Michael", "James", "David"]

### `get_name_twin` (~80 tokens)

### `get_year_movers` (~56 tokens)

Year-over-year rank changes for the top 100 names of each sex vs. the prior year: biggest gainers, biggest losers, and new entrants.

Input parameters:

- `year` (integer, required): Birth year to compare against the prior year

### `get_name_enrichment` (~101 tokens)

Returns a precomputed profile for a name: estimated living population and median age, its popularity wave shape, cultural catalysts (events/media tied to spikes), historical demographic profiles by era (top occupations, region, urban vs. rural), and regional anomalies (states where it over-indexes).

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): The baby name to look up
- `sex` (string): Restrict to this sex (defaults to the name's most common sex)

### `get_name_diaspora` (~79 tokens)

Returns the geographic spread of a name over time: where it originated, when it peaked nationally, which states adopted it and when, and how many states never adopted it.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): The baby name to look up
- `sex` (string): Restrict to this sex (defaults to the name's most common sex)

### `get_name_debuts` (~67 tokens)
