## 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 2026-10-02.

- **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 5 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**: 77/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1992 tokens (~332/item across 6 items; 5 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 88/100
  - Stability check failed: schema churn in the 30 days we've observed: 0 tool removals, 1 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 1 additions.
- **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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (5)

### `search_agencies` (~594 tokens)

Search Dutch marketing agencies by specialisms, target_industry (the client vertical the agency serves), city, B2B/B2C, company size, budget band and an optional radius (near_city = any Dutch city, or near_lat/near_lon, always combined with within_km in kilometres). specialisms filters against the taxonomy; a term outside it is mapped to the nearest specialism when the match is clear (shown in filters.specialisms.interpreted_as), otherwise echoed in filters.specialisms.unmatched (all unknown → 0 results + hint). budget_band only excludes agencies with a known conflicting rate (see filters.budget_band.note). target_industry matches the sectors an agency is known to serve; when fewer than 5 agencies match it, the list is filled with agencies that meet the other filters, the response says relaxed: ['target_industry'], and the first strictMatched results match every filter. Returns up to 20 ranked agencies with slug (use in get_agency_profile), public trade name (name, plus legal_name when the statutory name differs), a 1-line rationale in Dutch, and totalMatched (hits before the limit). Ranking ignores what an agency pays (never pay-to-rank). Read the categories://list resource for valid values.

Input parameters:

- `budget_band` (string): Buyer's budget in EUR. Only excludes agencies whose known rates conflict; most agencies have no known rate.
- `city` (string): Exact office city of the agency. For 'near a city' use near_city + within_km instead.
- `client_orientation` (string): b2b or b2c focus of the agency.
- `company_size_band` (string): Size of the buyer's company (employees); matches agencies that target that segment.
- `limit` (integer): Max results (1-20, default 10).
- `near_city` (string): Center of a radius search: any Dutch city name. Requires within_km.
- `near_lat` (number): Center latitude of a radius search (alternative to near_city). Requires near_lon + within_km.
- `near_lon` (number): Center longitude of a radius search (alternative to near_city). Requires near_lat + within_km.
- `specialisms` (array): Up to 5 specialism slugs from categories://list (e.g. 'seo', 'branding'). A term outside the taxonomy is mapped to the nearest specialism when the match is clear (filters.specialisms.interpreted_as),…
- `target_industry` (string): Client vertical the agency serves (e.g. the buyer's own industry). Not the agency's own sector.
- `within_km` (number): Radius in kilometres around near_city or near_lat/near_lon (max 250). Ignored without an origin; near_* is ignored without within_km.

### `match_brief` (~511 tokens)

Match a buyer's own question to Dutch marketing agencies. When the buyer already knows the required specialisms, prefer search_agencies with those specialisms; use match_brief when they need to be inferred from the brief. Pass the brief in the buyer's words (NL or EN, 20-2000 chars), optionally with the same hard filters as search_agencies (city, near_city + within_km, target_industry, client_orientation, company_size_band, budget_band). The brief is redacted for personal data first and never stored; a call takes a few seconds. Returns up to 20 ranked agencies (slug, name, 1-line Dutch rationale, via: specialism | brief | both) and `interpreted`: the specialisms and working style read from the brief, plus a follow-up question when the brief is unclear. Show `interpreted` to the buyer; if it is wrong, call search_agencies with explicit specialisms. Ranking ignores what an agency pays (never pay-to-rank).

Input parameters:

- `brief` (string, required): The buyer's own words (NL or EN, 20-2000 chars). Pass the question, not a summary.
- `budget_band` (string): Buyer's budget in EUR. Only excludes agencies whose known rates conflict; most agencies have no known rate.
- `city` (string): Exact office city of the agency. For 'near a city' use near_city + within_km instead.
- `client_orientation` (string): b2b or b2c focus of the agency.
- `company_size_band` (string): Size of the buyer's company (employees); matches agencies that target that segment.
- `limit` (integer): Max results (1-20, default 10).
- `near_city` (string): Center of a radius search: any Dutch city name. Requires within_km.
- `near_lat` (number): Center latitude of a radius search (alternative to near_city). Requires near_lon + within_km.
- `near_lon` (number): Center longitude of a radius search (alternative to near_city). Requires near_lat + within_km.
- `target_industry` (string): Client vertical the agency serves (e.g. the buyer's own industry). Not the agency's own sector.
- `within_km` (number): Radius in kilometres around near_city or near_lat/near_lon (max 250). Ignored without an origin; near_* is ignored without within_km.

### `find_agency` (~181 tokens)

Look up one specific agency by trade name, statutory name or domain (e.g. name='Yourcrew' or domain='yourcrew.online') to get its slug for get_agency_profile. Returns up to 10 candidates with public trade name (name), legal_name when the statutory name differs, city and domain. Returns isError with {error:'invalid_input'} when neither name nor domain is given. For ranked agency recommendations by criteria use search_agencies.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): Optional city to narrow candidates.
- `domain` (string): Website domain, e.g. 'yourcrew.online'. Provide name and/or domain.
- `limit` (integer): Max candidates (1-10, default 5).
- `name` (string): Trade or statutory name (fuzzy), e.g. 'Yourcrew'. Provide name and/or domain.

### `get_agency_profile` (~101 tokens)

Fetch the full public profile of one marketing agency by slug (from search_agencies or find_agency). Includes specialisms, cultural-fit axes and up to 3 cases; cultural-fit and cases are read-only (Knowledge-OS canonical). Returns isError with {error:'not_found'} when the slug does not exist or the agency opted out of MCP.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Agency slug as returned by search_agencies or find_agency.

### `submit_rfq` (~567 tokens)

Submit a Request For Quote (RFQ) on behalf of a buyer to 1-3 selected marketing agencies via marketingburos.nl. Input is the v1 wizard profile (specialisms, industry, company size, budget, timeline, ...) plus contact details and selectedAgencySlugs (slugs from search_agencies or find_agency). Nothing is sent to agencies automatically: the RFQ is queued and a human operator releases it. Success returns {rfqId, queuedAgencySlugs, notMatchableSlugs}: a selected agency that is not in the match pool for this buyer profile is skipped (listed in notMatchableSlugs), not an error, unless none remain. Failures return isError with one of: invalid_input (with issues[]), unknown_agency (with slugs[] that do not exist or cannot be contacted), rate_limit_ip / rate_limit_email (resetAt included when raised by this server), invalid / invalid_email / disposable_email (upstream validation), no_selection (no selected agency is in the match pool), upstream_failure.

Input parameters:

- `agencySize` (string, required): Preferred agency size in employees.
- `budgetBand` (string, required): Buyer's budget in EUR.
- `clientOrientation` (string): Optional: does the buyer sell b2b, b2c or both.
- `companySize` (string, required): Buyer's company size in employees.
- `contactCompany` (string, required): Buyer's company name.
- `contactEmail` (string, required): Buyer's business e-mail (no disposable domains).
- `contactName` (string, required): Buyer's full name.
- `contactPhone` (string): Optional phone number (digits, spaces, +, (), -).
- `culturalFit` (array, required): Three 0-10 sliders: [data-driven, specialist, hands-on]. Use [5,5,5] when unknown.
- `industry` (string, required): Buyer's industry (a value from categories://list doelgroep_options, or 'Anders').
- `industryFreetext` (string): Required only when industry is 'Anders': the buyer's industry in their own words.
- `selectedAgencySlugs` (array, required): 1-3 agency slugs (as returned by search_agencies or find_agency) the buyer wants to receive this RFQ.
- `specialisms` (array, required): 1-5 specialism slugs the buyer needs (see the categories://list resource).
- `specialistFullServiceSlider` (integer, required): 0 = full-service agency, 10 = niche specialist.
- `timeline` (string, required): When the work should start.
- `toelichting` (string): Optional free-text brief for the agencies (Dutch or English).
