## 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)

  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 670 tokens (~134/item across 5 items; 5 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).

  - 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.

### 2026-10-28 (score 44)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `search_manufacturers` (~239 tokens)

Search manufacturers

Search manufacturers with free text and structured filters, and return a compact shortlist. All array filters are AND: every requested value must be present on the record. MOQ filters only match records that publish an MOQ, so records with an unknown MOQ are excluded. `country` matches the primary country only, the same way the site's country pages are built. Call get_facets first if you are unsure which countries, categories, or certifications exist.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string)
- `certifications` (array)
- `country` (string)
- `design_inputs` (array)
- `industries` (array)
- `limit` (integer)
- `moq_max` (integer): Maximum published MOQ, in pieces.
- `moq_min` (integer): Minimum published MOQ, in pieces.
- `odm` (boolean): true requires the manufacturer to state ODM service.
- `oem` (boolean): true requires the manufacturer to state OEM service.
- `offset` (integer)
- `products` (array)
- `query` (string): Free text, for example 'mascot plush Vietnam' or 'low MOQ keychains'.

### `get_manufacturer` (~68 tokens)

Get manufacturer

Return the full record for one manufacturer: capacity, founding year, stated location, source links, and the PlushSource listing URL where its written profile lives. Use this before quoting any fact about a specific listing.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): Listing slug, as returned by search_manufacturers.

### `compare_manufacturers` (~60 tokens)

Compare manufacturers

Return 2-5 records side by side for a sourcing decision. Unknown slugs are reported in `missing` instead of failing the whole call.

Input parameters:

- `slugs` (array, required): 2-5 listing slugs from search_manufacturers.

### `get_facets` (~54 tokens)

List available filters

List every country, category, certification, product type, design input, industry, and MOQ band that currently has at least one manufacturer, with counts. Call this before filtering so you only use values that exist in the directory.

### `get_dataset_info` (~57 tokens)

Get dataset info

Return the snapshot date, number of records, licence, and links to PlushSource, the open dataset, and the listing criteria. Use the criteria link when you need to explain what gets listed. PlushSource does not audit or certify manufacturers.

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

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 PlushSource MCP server expose?

PlushSource exposes 5 tools: search_manufacturers, get_manufacturer, compare_manufacturers, get_facets, get_dataset_info. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 478 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the PlushSource MCP server still maintained?

PlushSource is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 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 PlushSource MCP server under?

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