Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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. - **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100 - No malware found by supply-chain analysis. - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies. - No install/post-install scripts declared. - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess. - **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100 - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to pipeworx-io/mcp-education-data). - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT). - Actively maintained (last published 4 days ago). - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. - **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 64/100 - AI-judged instruction clarity (good). - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 901 tokens (~225/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. - **Stability & Change Management**: 23/100 - Stability observed for 7 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**: 100/100 - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured. - We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation. - 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. ## Install ### How do I install the Education Data MCP server?

Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims. ### 2026-11-04 (score 82, +1) No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 17 to 20. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 5 days of observed history at the previous scan, 6 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes. ### 2026-11-02 (score 81, +1) No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 10 to 13. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 3 days of observed history at the previous scan, 4 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes. ### 2026-11-01 (score 80, +1) - [security regression] Tool safety: pass → unverified - [security] Stability: Stability not yet verified: we do not have a sandbox capture of the MCP schema this version of the package serves yet. - [functional regression] Tool coverage: 100 → unverified - [functional regression] Capabilities: pass → unverified - [functional improvement] Stability: unverified → 0.10 - [functional] First check of Schema quality: unverified - [functional] Package version: 0.2.0 → 0.2.1 ### 2026-10-29 (score 79) First indexed and scored. ## MCP tools (4) ### `education_find_schools` (~259 tokens) Find US K-12 PUBLIC SCHOOLS by state, with optional city or name filter.

Keyless federal data (NCES CCD school district finance survey, F-33). Use for "how much does spend per student", "school funding by district in ", "which districts get the most federal money", "local vs state share of school funding". Pass a state to rank districts, or a leaid (from education_find_districts) for one district. Note the finance survey lags the directory data by 1-2 years. Input parameters: - `leaid` (string): Specific district LEA id from education_find_districts. - `limit` (number): Max districts to return (1-100, default 25). - `sort_by` (string): Ranking field, largest first. Default per_pupil_spending. - `state` (string): US state name or 2-letter abbreviation. Required unless leaid is given. - `year` (number): Fiscal year.
