## 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 2026-10-16.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - 1 of 15 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to qso-graph/cq-zones-mcp).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (GPL-3.0-or-later).
  - Actively maintained (last published 5 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 474 tokens (~79/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - 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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (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.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (6)

### `get_version_info` (~27 tokens)

Get Version Info

Get cq-zones-mcp's version and the edition of CQ's list it serves.

### `cq_zones_source_info` (~36 tokens)

Cq Zones Source Info

Who owns this list, which edition is served, its terms, and the owner's files' URLs and SHA-256s.

### `cq_zones_lookup` (~53 tokens)

Cq Zones Lookup

One CQ zone: its name and every entity, subdivision and boundary CQ lists for it, with ADIF codes and the citation.

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): A CQ zone number, 1 to 40.

### `cq_zones_search` (~75 tokens)

Cq Zones Search

Find codes whose name, prefixes, area wording or attributes contain every word of text.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Most records to return (1 to 200, default 50).
- `text` (string, required): Words to look for, e.g. "Quebec", "VE2" or "Antarctic".

### `cq_zones_codes_for` (~106 tokens)

Cq Zones Codes For

Which CQ zones cover an ADIF DXCC entity, or one of its subdivisions. Where CQ splits an entity (VE2 Quebec at the 50th parallel), each zone is returned with CQ's boundary wording.

Input parameters:

- `dxcc` (integer, required): ADIF DXCC entity code (e.g. 291 for the United States, 1 for Canada).
- `subdivision`: ADIF Primary_Administrative_Subdivision code, e.g. "QC" or "AZ".

### `cq_zones_valid_on` (~81 tokens)

Cq Zones Valid On

Whether a CQ zone was valid on a date. CQ's list gives no validity window, so every zone it lists is valid; the tool exists so every owner-list server answers the same questions.

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): A CQ zone number, 1 to 40.
- `on_date` (string, required): The date, YYYY-MM-DD.

## Common questions

### What is the io.github.qso-graph/cq-zones-mcp server?

io.github.qso-graph/cq-zones-mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.qso-graph/cq-zones-mcp. CQ zones as CQ publishes them (WAZ Zone Definitions), in ADIF's DXCC and subdivision codes. This page covers its PyPI package (cq-zones-mcp).

### Is the io.github.qso-graph/cq-zones-mcp server safe to use?

io.github.qso-graph/cq-zones-mcp scores 81 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 16 October 2026. 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 io.github.qso-graph/cq-zones-mcp server expose?

io.github.qso-graph/cq-zones-mcp exposes 6 tools: get_version_info, cq_zones_source_info, cq_zones_lookup, cq_zones_search, cq_zones_codes_for, cq_zones_valid_on. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 378 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the io.github.qso-graph/cq-zones-mcp server still maintained?

io.github.qso-graph/cq-zones-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 16 October 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 io.github.qso-graph/cq-zones-mcp server under?
