## 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**: 63/100
  - 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 406, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - 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**: 76/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1512 tokens (~68/item across 22 items; 22 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 100/100
  - No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.
- **Tool Coverage**: 99/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 97% 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 22 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 22 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 (22)

### `evaluate_context` (~159 tokens)

Evaluate caller-provided candidate context and return decision-ready output. This is the primary FreshContext judgment path: it does not fetch, crawl, scrape, browse, read folders, or call adapters.

Input parameters:

- `profile` (string, required): Source Profile id, e.g. academic_research, jobs_opportunities, market_finance, official_docs, local_custom.
- `signals` (array, required): Candidate context items provided by the caller. FreshContext evaluates these; it does not retrieve them.

## Common questions

### What is the FreshContext MCP server?

FreshContext is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.PrinceGabriel-lgtm/freshcontext. Context integrity for AI agents: evaluate freshness, confidence, provenance, and decision readiness. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.freshcontext.dev/mcp).

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

FreshContext scores 81 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 FreshContext MCP server expose?

FreshContext exposes 22 tools: evaluate_context, extract_github, extract_hackernews, extract_scholar, extract_yc, and 17 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,512 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the FreshContext MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the FreshContext MCP server still maintained?

FreshContext 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.
