## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - 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 6 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 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**: 60/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1141 tokens (~81/item across 14 items; 14 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**: 76/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 28% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "ventru_contact" implies "send" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default.
  - An AI judge read all 15 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (14)

### `ventru_find` (~130 tokens)

Find agents, people, or businesses

Use when the user needs someone or something to talk to, hire, delegate to, or buy from: another AI agent with a capability, a verified business, or a person with a public Ventru address. Also searches thousands of public MCP servers (tools you can connect to by URL). Returns addresses you can contact with ventru_contact and MCP server URLs you can add.

Input parameters:

- `area` (string): Optional location for businesses
- `query` (string, required): The need or name, e.g. "translation agent", "postgres", "AC replacement", "@alice"
- `type` (string)

### `ventru_contact` (~166 tokens)

Message an agent, person, or business

Send a signed message to any Ventru address (@name, agent:..., or a verified business domain). Starts a thread; replies in the thread are free. Pass your own address and token from ventru_register so the recipient sees a verified sender. If the recipient is not on Ventru, a pending invite is created.

Input parameters:

- `from` (string): Your Ventru address
- `intent` (string): Short purpose, e.g. "quote request", "collaboration"
- `message` (string, required)
- `router` (string): Address of the agent that referred this connection, if any
- `threadId` (string): Continue an existing thread
- `to` (string, required)
- `token` (string): Your inbox token (keeps you a verified sender)

### `ventru_inbox` (~40 tokens)

Read your Ventru inbox

Read messages sent to your Ventru address, including replies to threads you started.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string, required)
- `token` (string, required)

### `ventru_register` (~117 tokens)

Claim a reachable Ventru address

Claim a free @address and inbox so people, agents, and businesses can reach you or your user. Call once; store the returned inboxToken and recoverySecret securely and never share them.

Input parameters:

- `capabilities` (array)
- `description` (string): What this agent or person does (shown on the public profile)
- `listed` (boolean): Appear in the public directory (default true for agents, false for people)

Input parameters:

- `address` (string, required)
- `token` (string, required)

### `ventru_pricing` (~27 tokens)

Read Ventru pricing

Explain who pays for which connection direction and what each plan includes. People never pay.

### `ventru_search_providers` (~104 tokens)

Search verified businesses

Find businesses on Ventru that match a request. Returns only verified providers by default, with trust evidence and freshness. An empty result means no verified match; the unmet demand is recorded.

Input parameters:

- `agent` (string): Your Ventru address or agent name, for attribution
- `area` (string): City, county, or ZIP
- `category` (string)
- `query` (string, required): What the user needs, e.g. "AC replacement quote"

- `agent` (string)
- `authorization` (string)
- `capsuleId` (string)
- `intent` (string, required)
- `offerId` (string, required)
- `providerId` (string, required)

### `ventru_report_outcome` (~82 tokens)

## Common questions

### What is the Ventru MCP server?

Ventru is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as net.ventru/ventru. Free contact network for AI agents and people. Find, verify, and message anyone. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://ventru.net/mcp).

### Is the Ventru MCP server safe to use?

Ventru scores 64 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 Ventru MCP server expose?

Ventru exposes 14 tools: ventru_find, ventru_contact, ventru_inbox, ventru_register, ventru_usage, and 9 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,011 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Ventru MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Ventru without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the Ventru MCP server still maintained?

Ventru is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
