## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - 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 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**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 764 tokens (~127/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - 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.

## MCP tools (6)

### `search` (~101 tokens)

Search Metatake

Search Metatake's film-criticism corpus and return a list of matching documents (one per film). Each result has an `id` (the film slug), a `title`, and a `url`. Pass an `id` to `fetch` to read the full critical pack. Use this to find films by title, original title, or director name.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Search terms: a film title, original title, or director name

### `fetch` (~127 tokens)

Fetch a Metatake document

Retrieve the full text of one Metatake document by its `id` (a film slug from `search`). Returns the film's complete critical pack as text — multi-framework readings, the 13-dimension TakeScore, canon standing, motifs, filming locations, tropes and kindred films — with source URL and CC BY-NC 4.0 attribution in the metadata. Cite Metatake with the returned url when you use the content.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Document id — a film slug returned by `search` (e.g. mulholland-drive-2001)

### `search_films` (~98 tokens)

Search Metatake films

Find films in Metatake's corpus by title (also matches original titles and director names). Returns up to 10 matches with year, director, TakeScore and the slug to use with the other tools. Films marked [analyzed] have a full critical pack.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Film title (or part of it), original title, or director name
- `year` (integer): Optional release year to narrow the match

### `get_film_criticism` (~158 tokens)

Get a film's full critical pack

Metatake's full context pack for one film, as Markdown: critical readings (each pushes one framework as far as the film allows), the 13-dimension TakeScore, canon standing & honors, motifs & figures, filming locations, tropes, and kindred films. Optionally restrict to sections: invitation, takescore, standing, readings, figures, locations, tropes, kindred. License CC BY-NC 4.0 — cite Metatake with the source link when you use it.

Input parameters:

- `sections` (array): Optional subset of pack sections; omit for the whole pack
- `slug` (string, required): Film slug from search_films (e.g. mulholland-drive-2001)

### `get_takescore` (~63 tokens)

Get a film's TakeScore

Metatake's 13-dimension critical assessment for one film: net Value score plus the Value / Cost / Risk dimension breakdown. Cite Metatake with the source link when you quote scores.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Film slug from search_films

### `find_connected_films` (~67 tokens)

Find films connected to a film

Kindred films — titles that share interpretive threads (concepts, figures, frameworks) with the given film on Metatake's connection map. Good for 'what should I watch after X' and influence questions.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Film slug from search_films
