## 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-ukhsa).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 6 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 62/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 797 tokens (~265/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 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.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (3)

### `navigate` (~278 tokens)

Walk the UKHSA surveillance hierarchy one level at a time to discover valid values. Pass the levels you already know (in order: theme, sub_theme, topic, geography_type, geography) and you get back the list of options for the NEXT level. With no args it lists themes (e.g. infectious_disease, immunisation, climate_and_environment, medicines). With theme="infectious_disease" it lists sub_themes (respiratory, gastrointestinal, vaccine_preventable, ...). Continue down to topics (COVID-19, Influenza, Measles, ...), geography_types (Nation, NHS Region, ...), geographies (England, ...), and finally metrics. Each item has {name, link}. Feed the chosen name into the next-level arg, then call get_metric_data once you have all six.

Input parameters:

- `geography` (string): e.g. "England". Requires the levels above.
- `geography_type` (string): e.g. "Nation", "NHS Region". Requires the levels above. May contain spaces.
- `sub_theme` (string): e.g. "respiratory". Requires theme.
- `theme` (string): e.g. "infectious_disease".
- `topic` (string): e.g. "COVID-19", "Influenza". Requires theme + sub_theme.

### `list_metrics` (~188 tokens)

Shortcut to list all available metric names for a fully-specified location — supply all five levels (theme, sub_theme, topic, geography_type, geography) at once rather than calling navigate iteratively. Returns metric names like "COVID-19_cases_casesByDay" ready to pass to get_metric_data.(theme, sub_theme, topic, geography_type, geography), without walking each level. Returns metric names like "COVID-19_cases_casesByDay" or "COVID-19_deaths_ONSByDay" ready to pass to get_metric_data.

Input parameters:

- `geography` (string, required): e.g. "England".
- `geography_type` (string, required): e.g. "Nation".
- `sub_theme` (string, required): e.g. "respiratory".
- `theme` (string, required): e.g. "infectious_disease".
- `topic` (string, required): e.g. "COVID-19".

### `get_metric_data` (~278 tokens)

Pull the time series for one fully-specified UKHSA metric. Requires all six levels (theme, sub_theme, topic, geography_type, geography, metric). Returns paginated observations {count, next, previous, results[]} where each result has date, metric_value, year, month, epiweek, sex, age, stratum, geography_code, etc. Optionally filter by year and control page_size / page. Example: infectious_disease / respiratory / COVID-19 / Nation / England / COVID-19_cases_casesByDay.

Input parameters:

- `geography` (string, required): e.g. "England".
- `geography_type` (string, required): e.g. "Nation".
- `metric` (string, required): Dotted/underscored metric name, e.g. "COVID-19_cases_casesByDay".
- `page` (number): Optional. 1-based page number for paging through results.
- `page_size` (number): Optional. Observations per page (default 5 here, max ~365).
- `sub_theme` (string, required): e.g. "respiratory".
- `theme` (string, required): e.g. "infectious_disease".
- `topic` (string, required): e.g. "COVID-19".
- `year` (number): Optional. Filter to a single calendar year, e.g. 2024.

## Common questions

### What is the Ukhsa MCP server?

Ukhsa is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/ukhsa. UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) data dashboard MCP, keyless. This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-ukhsa).

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

Ukhsa scores 79 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 Ukhsa MCP server expose?

Ukhsa exposes 3 tools: navigate, list_metrics, get_metric_data. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 744 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Ukhsa MCP server still maintained?

Ukhsa 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 Ukhsa MCP server under?

Ukhsa 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 Ukhsa MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 15 checks on Ukhsa, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 11 more. One item could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about Ukhsa: Stability. One category scores 0 for that reason, because we only credit what we can confirm. 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.
