Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 3 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability64
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 380 tokens (~126/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management80
- Stability observed for 24 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage80
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 40% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams MCP server?
io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams is a hosted endpoint at https://databutler.dev/api/mcp/uk-exams, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

What is the io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams MCP server?
io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams. UK exam-board spec data: which paper is a topic on, spec structures, past-paper links. Verified. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://databutler.dev/api/mcp/uk-exams).
Is the io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams MCP server safe to use?
io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams scores 74 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 io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams MCP server expose?
io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams exposes 3 tools: exam_topic_paper, exam_spec_lookup, exam_paper_index. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 312 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams MCP server still maintained?
io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-exams is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 24 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
