## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 87/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 547 tokens (~109/item across 5 items; 4 tools + 1 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 97/100
  - Stability observed for 29 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "check_voltage_drop" implies "drop" and declares readOnlyHint instead, contradicting what its own name says it does.
  - An AI judge read all 5 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.

## MCP tools (4)

### `check_panel_capacity` (~174 tokens)

Check Panel Capacity

Check whether a home's electrical panel has capacity for an EV charger. Use when a user asks if their panel or breaker box can handle an EV charger, or whether they need a panel upgrade or load management. Returns a verdict (fits / tight / does-not-fit), amps, and a plain-language explanation.

Input parameters:

- `appliances` (array): Major appliances with nameplate VA. Optional; improves accuracy.
- `charger_amps` (integer, required): Charger charging current in amps, e.g. 32, 40, 48, 80
- `main_breaker_amps` (integer, required): Main breaker rating of the panel in amps, e.g. 100, 150, 200
- `square_footage` (integer): Home size in square feet. Omit if unknown (assumes 2000).

### `recommend_charger_setup` (~151 tokens)

Recommend Charger Setup

Recommend breaker size, wire gauge, conduit, and ground wire for a home EV charger circuit. Use when a user asks what wire size, breaker, or circuit their charger needs. Returns wire gauge, breaker amps, EGC size, and a plain-language explanation with NEC citations.

Input parameters:

- `ambient_temp_c` (number): Ambient temperature in Celsius. Default 30 (standard).
- `charger_amps` (integer, required): Charger charging current in amps, e.g. 32, 40, 48

- `wire_material` (string): Copper (Cu) or aluminum (Al) wire. Default copper.

### `check_voltage_drop` (~119 tokens)

Check Voltage Drop

Check whether a cable run length causes excessive voltage drop for an EV charger circuit. Use when a user asks about long garage/driveway runs, voltage drop, upsizing wire for distance. Returns pass/fail at 3%.

Input parameters:

- `charger_amps` (integer, required): Charging current in amps
- `run_length_ft` (integer, required): One-way cable run length in feet
- `wire_material` (string): Default copper.
- `wire_size` (string, required): Wire gauge in AWG, e.g. '8' for 8 AWG

### `lookup_georgia_rebate` (~71 tokens)

Lookup Georgia Rebate

Look up Georgia EV charger rebates and incentives: the Georgia Power EV rebate program and the Georgia state tax credit. Use when a user asks about EV charger rebates, incentives, or tax credits in Georgia.

Input parameters:

- `charger_type` (string): Level 2 charger or DC fast charger. Default level2.

## Common questions

### What is the EV Load Check MCP server?

EV Load Check is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pindotcom/ev-load-check. NEC-based screening for a home EV charger: panel capacity, wire sizing, voltage drop, GA incentives. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://ev-load-check.permitev.com/mcp).

### Is the EV Load Check MCP server safe to use?

EV Load Check scores 85 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 EV Load Check MCP server expose?

EV Load Check exposes 4 tools: check_panel_capacity, recommend_charger_setup, check_voltage_drop, lookup_georgia_rebate. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 515 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the EV Load Check MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the EV Load Check MCP server still maintained?

EV Load Check 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.
