## 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 2026-11-06.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (reassess_launch).
  - 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**: 61/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 931 tokens (~58/item across 16 items; 16 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 75/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 25% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 16 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 17 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.

## Common questions

### What is the LaunchBuddy: Builder Tools and Launch Audits MCP server?

LaunchBuddy: Builder Tools and Launch Audits is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.msanchezgrice/launchbuddy. Find builder resources, plan your next test, and audit public-site launch readiness. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://launchbuddy.com/api/mcp).

### Is the LaunchBuddy: Builder Tools and Launch Audits MCP server safe to use?

LaunchBuddy: Builder Tools and Launch Audits scores 61 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 LaunchBuddy: Builder Tools and Launch Audits MCP server expose?

LaunchBuddy: Builder Tools and Launch Audits exposes 16 tools: verify_launch_audit, audit_my_launch, search_launch_resources, get_launch_resource, assess_launch, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 875 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the LaunchBuddy: Builder Tools and Launch Audits MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to LaunchBuddy: Builder Tools and Launch Audits without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the LaunchBuddy: Builder Tools and Launch Audits MCP server still maintained?

LaunchBuddy: Builder Tools and Launch Audits is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the LaunchBuddy: Builder Tools and Launch Audits MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on LaunchBuddy: Builder Tools and Launch Audits, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 9 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
