### What did VerifyMCP test on the Last Fm MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Last Fm, 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.
