## 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 2026-08-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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 (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 946 tokens (~189/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 89/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 61% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (80% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `a9n9_quick_search` (~137 tokens)

Free Quick Search

Free first-level search, limited per day across all callers: current news coverage (100+ languages, 250K+ sources) or scholarly papers (arXiv). Returns structured results immediately with no payment. When the daily quota is exhausted, or when you need live browsing and synthesis across sources, use a9n9_research_quote for paid deep research.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string): news (default): global news articles. papers: arXiv preprints.
- `payer_address` (string): Optional Tempo payer address so free usage counts toward loyalty pricing on paid research.
- `query` (string, required)

### `a9n9_research_quote` (~224 tokens)

Quote Deep Research

Analyze a deep-research objective and return the exact current price, limits, planned start URLs, request hash, expiry, payment requirements, and cloud-browser capabilities without charging or starting a job. targetUrl is optional: omit it and the quote derives and binds a bounded plan of public start URLs from the objective.

Input parameters:

- `job_key` (string, required): job_key identifies a research session. Reuse it with a new objective to run a follow-up iteration that references the session's prior results (each iteration is a separate paid job); an identical req…
- `objective` (string, required)
- `payer_address` (string): Optional Tempo payer address for loyalty pricing: 10% off after $2.00 of reconciliation-confirmed on-chain spend from that address. Settlement must then come from it.
- `targetUrl` (string): Optional public HTTPS focus hint; when omitted the service plans up to 5 public start URLs from the objective and binds them into the quote.

Output parameters:

- `chainId`
- `cloudBrowser` (object)
- `currency`
- `expiresAt` (string)
- `limits` (object)
- `network`
- `nextStep` (string)
- `payment` (object)
- `paymentChallenge` (object)
- `price` (string)
- `quoteId` (string)
- `rationale` (string)
- `requestBodyHash` (string)
- `tier`
- `walletPayment` (object)

### `a9n9_research_start` (~300 tokens)

Start Paid Deep Research

Start bounded paid research in a real remotely hosted Browserbase Chromium session with JavaScript rendering, DOM interaction, scrolling, and dynamic-content extraction, followed by gpt-5.6-luna synthesis. targetUrl is optional; without it the quoted plan of public start URLs derived from the objective is executed. Call a9n9_research_quote first when price visibility is needed. The service does not bypass CAPTCHAs, logins, paywalls, access controls, or site terms.

Input parameters:

- `job_key` (string, required): job_key identifies a research session. Reuse it with a new objective to run a follow-up iteration that references the session's prior results (each iteration is a separate paid job); an identical req…
- `notify_email` (string): Optional: email the completed report to this address from a9n9@agentmail.to. Delivery preference only; not part of the payment-bound request hash.
- `objective` (string, required)
- `payer_address` (string): Optional Tempo payer address for loyalty pricing: 10% off after $2.00 of reconciliation-confirmed on-chain spend from that address. Settlement must then come from it.
- `targetUrl` (string): Optional public HTTPS focus hint; when omitted the service plans up to 5 public start URLs from the objective and binds them into the quote.

Output parameters:

- `createdAt` (string)
- `error` (string)
- `progressPercent` (integer)
- `progressStage` (string)
- `quoteId` (string)
- `requestBodyHash` (string)
- `result` (object)
- `status`
- `statusUrl` (string)
- `trackerCode` (string)

### `a9n9_research_submit_payment` (~134 tokens)

Submit External Wallet Payment

Verify a separately broadcast Tempo mainnet push-mode payment and continue the quoted research job. Use the paymentChallenge and walletPayment returned by a9n9_research_quote, then provide the transaction hash, payer address, and same job_key.

Input parameters:

- `job_key` (string, required)
- `notify_email` (string): Optional: email the completed report to this address from a9n9@agentmail.to.
- `payer_address` (string, required)
- `payment_challenge` (object, required): Unmodified paymentChallenge returned by a9n9_research_quote.
- `transaction_hash` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `createdAt` (string)
- `error` (string)
- `progressPercent` (integer)
- `progressStage` (string)
- `quoteId` (string)
- `requestBodyHash` (string)
- `result` (object)
- `status`
- `statusUrl` (string)

Return milestone progress and the final result for an opaque tracker code.

Input parameters:

- `trackerCode` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `createdAt` (string)
- `error` (string)
