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 Security83
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- The endpoint enforces authorisation, but returns a challenge with no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability0
- Transport blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to verify streamable-http. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
Schema Quality & AI Usability0
- Schema blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read it. See how to fix → Unverified
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage0
- Tool coverage blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read its tools.Unverified
Tool Safety0
- Tool safety blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read its tools.Unverified
Capabilities0
- Capabilities blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read them. See how to fix → Unverified
Unverified: 6 categories
Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm. Claim this server and supply a read-only token to verify it and lift the score.

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 →
uk_vehicle_rules_lookup UK vehicle tax (VED) & MOT rules ~294
UK vehicle tax (VED) and MOT rules for 2026-27, verified against gov.uk, by category: ved-first-year (first-year rate by CO2 band for cars registered on or after 1 April 2017, petrol/RDE2-diesel and other-diesel columns), ved-standard (the flat rate from the second year and the Direct Debit surcharges), ved-expensive-car (list price threshold, annual supplement, years applied), ved-2001-2017 (bands A–M), ved-pre-2001 (engine size), ved-electric (zero-emission cars taxable since 1 April 2025), historic (40-year MOT exemption and the vehicle-tax exemption build date), mot (first MOT at 3 years, maximum fees by class, early renewal, retests, exemptions) and penalties (no MOT, dangerous vehicle, untaxed vehicle). Each figure carries its value, unit, the quoted line from the page, its source URL, effectiveFrom and the previous year's value; the answer carries verifiedDate, freshness and a citation permalink. No category returns the listing; an unknown category answers covered:false with the nearest keys.

How do I install the io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-vehicle-rules MCP server?
io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-vehicle-rules is a hosted endpoint at https://databutler.dev/api/mcp/uk-vehicle-rules, 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.

What is the io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-vehicle-rules MCP server?
io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-vehicle-rules is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-vehicle-rules. UK vehicle tax (VED) bands, expensive-car supplement, EV rules and MOT fees, sourced. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://databutler.dev/api/mcp/uk-vehicle-rules).
Is the io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-vehicle-rules MCP server safe to use?
io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-vehicle-rules scores 33 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-vehicle-rules MCP server expose?
io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-vehicle-rules exposes 1 tool: uk_vehicle_rules_lookup. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 294 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-vehicle-rules MCP server require authentication?
Yes. io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-vehicle-rules asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-vehicle-rules MCP server still maintained?
io.github.physics-star-cat/databutler-uk-vehicle-rules is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
