## 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 2026-08-20.

- **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 12 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**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2015 tokens (~167/item across 12 items; 12 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.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (12)

### `list_countries` (~28 tokens)

List all countries with government entity data in UnGovr, including entity counts and coverage metadata.

### `search_entities` (~295 tokens)

Search government entities by country, optional state/province, name query, and entity type. Searches every tier of government in the jurisdiction, not just the top one: counties, cities, school districts, special districts, fire and police districts, joint powers authorities and regulated utilities are all reachable. Returns matching entities with slugs, types, and website URLs, plus a "scope" field — "full" means every tier was searched, "direct_children" means only the top tier was (narrow by state and search again). Unrecognised arguments are rejected, not ignored.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string, required): Two-letter country code (e.g., "us", "ca", "ie")
- `limit` (number): Maximum results to return (default 20, max 100)
- `offset` (number): Number of results to skip for pagination (default 0)
- `query` (string): Substring to match against entity name (case-insensitive)
- `state` (string): State/province code to narrow search (e.g., "ca" for California, "on" for Ontario)
- `type` (string): Filter by entity type, exact match (e.g., "county", "city", "school_district", "special_district", "fire_district", "police_department", "jpa", "regulated_utility"). The parameter is named "type", no…

### `get_entity` (~133 tokens)

Get full details for a specific government entity by its URL slug (e.g., "us/ca/ventura"). Works at any depth of the hierarchy, including cities, school districts and special districts (e.g., "us/ca/santa-barbara/spd/carpinteria-valley"). Returns name, type, website, parent, children, domain status, and metadata.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Entity URL slug at any depth (e.g., "us/ca/ventura", "us/ca/santa-barbara/city/carpinteria", "ie/cork", "kr/seoul")

### `get_product_coverage` (~84 tokens)

Get the full hierarchy of government entities where an UnGovr product is available. product="request" returns the worldwide UnGovr Request coverage footprint (where you can file a government service request); product="cgj" returns Civil Grand Jury coverage. Public, no API key required.

Input parameters:

- `product` (string, required): Product id: "request" or "cgj"

### `get_open_records_law` (~160 tokens)

Get the open records law (FOIA/RTI equivalent) governing a jurisdiction: name, citation, response deadlines, fees, exemptions, appeal process, records retention rules and RTI rating. Accepts a jurisdiction slug ("us/ca", "ie", "in/mh") or any UnGovr entity slug at any depth ("us/ca/santa-barbara/city/carpinteria" resolves to the California law). US federal FOIA is jurisdiction "us". When the answer comes from a parent jurisdiction the response includes "resolved_from".

Input parameters:

- `jurisdiction` (string, required): Jurisdiction slug or entity slug at any depth (e.g., "us/ca", "us", "uk", "us/ca/ventura")

### `search_transparency_laws` (~170 tokens)

Search government transparency laws across five domains: open records, open meetings, fiscal transparency, digital accessibility, and oversight bodies. Filter by country, pillar, and/or a substring of the law name, citation, or jurisdiction. Returns compact records with jurisdiction slugs; use get_open_records_law for full open-records detail.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): Two-letter country code (e.g., "us", "de", "br")
- `limit` (number): Maximum results to return (default 20, max 100)
- `offset` (number): Number of results to skip for pagination (default 0)
- `pillar` (string): Law domain to search
- `query` (string): Substring to match against law name, citation, or jurisdiction (case-insensitive)

### `search_cgj_reports` (~190 tokens)

Search California Grand Jury reports by county, year, and/or title keyword. Returns report metadata (title, year, county, themes). Requires X-API-Key header (50 req/day). Get a key at https://www.ungovr.org/open-data/api-keys. For the list of valid county names, query the UnGovr entity API: GET https://data.ungovr.org/v1/entities/us/ca.json

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Report ID (from search results)

### `list_service_types` (~91 tokens)

List available service request categories and types for a country. Returns service types grouped by category (e.g., Infrastructure, Utilities, Parks). Use this to discover valid service_type_id values for submit_service_request. Supported countries: US, IE (Ireland), GB (United Kingdom).

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): Two-letter country code: "us", "ie", or "gb" (default: "us")

### `submit_service_request` (~349 tokens)

Submit a government service request (e.g., report a pothole, broken streetlight, illegal dumping). The request is validated, geocoded, classified, routed to the correct government entity, and recorded. Delivery is enabled per-entity: where the target channel is live, the request is transmitted (response delivery.state = "sent", or "held" when queued for review); for entities not yet enabled it is recorded and routable but not transmitted (delivery.state = "dry_run", or "handoff" with a redirect_url the user finishes). Always check delivery.state. Requires X-API-Key header. Rate limit: 2 requests/hour. Supported countries: US, IE (Ireland), GB (United Kingdom).

Input parameters:

- `address` (string): Address to geocode (e.g., "123 Main St, Ventura, CA 93001"). Provide this OR latitude+longitude.
- `contact_email` (string, required): Email of the person reporting the issue
- `country_code` (string): Country code: "US", "IE", or "GB" (default: "US")
- `description` (string, required): Description of the issue (10-5000 characters)
- `images` (array): Up to 3 base64-encoded images (optional). Each item: {data: "base64...", media_type: "image/jpeg"}
- `latitude` (number): Latitude (-90 to 90). Provide with longitude as alternative to address.
- `longitude` (number): Longitude (-180 to 180). Provide with latitude as alternative to address.
- `service_type_id` (string): Service type ID from list_service_types (optional — auto-classified from description if omitted)

### `get_scraping_law` (~258 tokens)

Get the scraping/access legality summary for a jurisdiction: verdict-level crawl policy, a per-scenario access matrix (public pages, robots-disallowed, behind login, after cease-and-desist), and legality fields such as robots.txt legal weight and TDM opt-out status. Accepts a slug at any depth ("us", "us/ca", "us/ca/ventura", "eu"); resolution walks to the most specific jurisdiction with data and reports the walk in resolved_from. Every response carries as_of_date, confidence, and stale flags — check them. This is a research summary, NOT legal advice and NOT authorization to access any system. Obligations that follow YOUR OWN operator posture (EU AI Act Art. 53(1)(c), GDPR Art. 3) apply regardless of the target jurisdiction — see jurisdiction "eu". Requires X-API-Key header (50 req/day, shared with data.ungovr.org). Get a key at https://www.ungovr.org/open-data/api-keys.

Input parameters:

- `jurisdiction` (string, required): Jurisdiction slug, lowercase, "/"-separated (e.g. "us", "us/ca", "us/ca/ventura", "de", "eu")

### `resolve_domain_jurisdiction` (~176 tokens)

Best-effort mapping from a domain to the jurisdiction whose law governs its OPERATOR, for feeding into get_scraping_law. Authoritative for government domains in the UnGovr corpus (method "entity_domains"); otherwise an inference from suffix or country-code TLD, or "unknown". Never uses server or edge-node location: a CDN PoP's geography is not the legal signal, the operator's establishment is. IP addresses are refused for the same reason. Requires X-API-Key header (50 req/day, shared with data.ungovr.org). Get a key at https://www.ungovr.org/open-data/api-keys.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string, required): Hostname or URL (e.g. "ventura.org", "https://www.stadt-koeln.de/x"). IP addresses are rejected.
