## 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 2026-09-29.

- **Endpoint Security**: 60/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (remove_judge).
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 79/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2249 tokens (~149/item across 15 items; 14 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 86/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 58% 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.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 16 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.
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

### `host_step` (~189 tokens)

Run a live quiz: start, reveal, next question, finish, or pause/resume its clock

Run a live quiz: start, reveal, next question, finish, or pause/resume its clock For quizzes with host = true. Body: { action: 'start' | 'reveal' | 'next' | 'finish' | 'pause' | 'resume' }. Steps must follow lobby → question → reveal → question … → done; anything else is 409. With hostSecs > 0 the quiz also moves on by itself (each question hostSecs seconds, each answer shown 8 s); pause/resume stop and restart that clock, and a step by hand restarts it.

Input parameters:

- `action` (string, required)

### `set_questions` (~255 tokens)

Surveys and quizzes: replace the questions (only until the first response)

Surveys and quizzes: replace the questions (only until the first response) Body: { questions: [...] }, 1–50, in order; the whole list is replaced. Each: { type, prompt (≤300 chars), required?, options?, max?, answer?, id? }. type is single (pick one) or multi (pick any) with options (2–20 distinct texts), yesno, likert (disagree…agree), rating (max 5 or 10 stars), short or long (written). Quizzes: answer is the correct option index (single; yesno uses 1 = yes, 0 = no), a list of option indexes (multi), or a list of accepted texts (short); at least one question needs one. Send a question's id back to keep its picture. Refused with 409 once anyone has answered; the answer key can still be fixed with setAnswerKey. Needs the organizer key.

Input parameters:

- `questions` (array, required)
- `slug` (string, required): The id in the public link, e.g. `scarecrow-contest-2026-ab12` from https://qrvote.org/c/scarecrow-contest-2026-ab12

### `set_answer_key` (~165 tokens)

Fix a quiz's answer key (allowed after people have answered; every score updates)

Fix a quiz's answer key (allowed after people have answered; every score updates) Body: { answers: { <question id>: key | null } }. The key is an option index (single; yes/no uses 1 = yes, 0 = no), a list of option indexes (multi, all must match), or a list of accepted texts (short; case, accents and punctuation are ignored). null stops scoring that question. At least one question must stay scored. Needs the organizer key.

Input parameters:

- `answers` (object, required)
- `slug` (string, required): The id in the public link, e.g. `scarecrow-contest-2026-ab12` from https://qrvote.org/c/scarecrow-contest-2026-ab12

## Common questions

### What is the qrvote MCP server?

qrvote is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as org.qrvote/qrvote. QR-code contests, surveys, quizzes and scavenger hunts: read results, manage your own. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.qrvote.org/mcp).

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

qrvote scores 66 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 qrvote MCP server expose?

qrvote exposes 14 tools: draft_contest, set_entry_photo, get_campaign, get_results, get_dashboard, and 9 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,109 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the qrvote MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the qrvote MCP server still maintained?

qrvote is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 29 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
