## 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**: 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 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 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**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 387 tokens (~77/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 95/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 86% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

### 2026-08-03 (score 65)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `get_metro` (~95 tokens)

Get metro profile

Full profile for one metro in the Global Metro Power Rankings: rank, score, all sixteen dimension values and ranks, teams, universities, culture, luxury hospitality, events, market cap, and more. Use search_metros first if you don't know the exact slug.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): URL slug for the metro, e.g. 'new-york', 'london', 'san-francisco-san-jose'

### `list_top_metros` (~132 tokens)

List top metros

Ranked list of metros from the Global Metro Power Rankings composite (4,300+ metros total), optionally filtered by region or country. Returns lightweight summary rows (rank, slug, name, country, region, score, population) — call get_metro for full detail on any one metro. Capped at 200 rows per call.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): Filter by country name, e.g. 'United States'
- `n` (integer): Number of metros to return, max 200
- `region` (string): Filter by region name, e.g. 'North America', 'Europe'

### `search_metros` (~69 tokens)

Search metros by name

Case-insensitive search over metro name, primary city, and country. Use this to find a metro's exact slug before calling get_metro or compare_metros.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required): Search text, e.g. 'san fran', 'brazil'

### `compare_metros` (~51 tokens)

Compare metros

Side-by-side comparison of two to 4 metros across all sixteen scoring dimensions, with the leader in each dimension flagged.

Input parameters:

- `slugs` (array, required): 2 to 4 metro slugs to compare

### `get_methodology` (~40 tokens)

Get scoring methodology

The sixteen weighted dimensions behind the Global Metro Power Rankings composite score: what each measures, its weight/shape in the formula, and its upstream data source.
