## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. 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-here).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 3 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 743 tokens (~185/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.

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. 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.

### 2026-11-05 (score 84, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (4)

### `here_geocode` (~182 tokens)

PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for turning an address or place name into precise coordinates — "geocode 350 5th Ave New York", "coordinates of the Eiffel Tower", "where is Invalidenstr 117 Berlin". High-accuracy geocoding from HERE. Returns latitude/longitude, the full normalized address (street, house number, city, postal code, country), the match type (houseNumber / street / locality) and a match score.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): Optional ISO-3 country code to bias/limit, e.g. "USA", "DEU", "FRA".
- `limit` (number): Max results (default 5, max 20).
- `q` (string, required): Free-form address or place, e.g. "350 5th Ave, New York" or "Eiffel Tower, Paris".

### `here_reverse_geocode` (~92 tokens)

Turn coordinates into the nearest street address (reverse geocoding) via HERE — "what address is at 40.7484, -73.9857". Returns the normalized address, place title, and distance to the matched location.

Input parameters:

- `lat` (number, required): Latitude, e.g. 40.7484.
- `lng` (number, required): Longitude, e.g. -73.9857.

### `here_discover` (~232 tokens)

Find places / points of interest (restaurants, shops, landmarks, gas stations, etc.) near a location via HERE — "coffee near Times Square", "pharmacies near 48.85,2.35", "hardware stores in Austin". Returns name, category, address, coordinates, distance, and contact info. The `near` location can be a place name (geocoded automatically) or "lat,lng".

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max results (default 10, max 50).
- `near` (string, required): Place name (e.g. "Times Square, New York") or "lat,lng" (e.g. "40.758,-73.985") to search around.
- `query` (string, required): What to search for, e.g. "coffee", "pharmacy", "hardware store".
- `radius_km` (number): Only return places within this many km of `near` (default 100, max 1000). HERE ranks by relevance, so without this a query that matches a business NAME can return that business on another continent.

### `here_route` (~186 tokens)

TRAFFIC-AWARE routing and ETA between two locations via HERE — "how long to drive from Berlin to Munich", "ETA from LAX to downtown LA in traffic", "cycling route from A to B". Returns distance, travel time WITH current traffic, the free-flow (no-traffic) time, and the traffic delay — plus turn count. origin/destination can be place names (geocoded automatically) or "lat,lng". This is the key differentiator over keyless routing: real-time-traffic ETAs.

Input parameters:

- `destination` (string, required): End — place name (e.g. "downtown Los Angeles") or "lat,lng".
- `origin` (string, required): Start — place name (e.g. "LAX airport") or "lat,lng".
- `transport_mode` (string): car (default) | truck | pedestrian | bicycle | scooter.

## Common questions

### What is the Here MCP server?

Here is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/here. HERE MCP, premium geocoding, places, and TRAFFIC-AWARE routing from HERE (here.com), the… This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-here).

### Is the Here MCP server safe to use?

Here scores 84 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 Here MCP server expose?

Here exposes 4 tools: here_geocode, here_reverse_geocode, here_discover, here_route. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 692 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Here MCP server still maintained?

Here 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.

### What licence is the Here MCP server under?

Here declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Here MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Here, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
