## 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**: 83/100
  - 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 is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 70/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3209 tokens (~458/item across 7 items; 6 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 73/100
  - Stability observed for 22 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **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 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 8 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.
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

- [security improvement] DNSSEC: fail → pass

## MCP tools (6)

### `upload_logo` (~180 tokens)

Upload brand logo

Upload the product's logo once, then pass the returned logo object as brand.logo to render_previews, or as props.logo in templates that support a logo (their spec lists editableFields.logo). Templates with a logo show it wherever they show the brand name; the brand text stays as its alt text. Send an SVG as text in svg, or a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or SVG file as base64 in data. Up to 1 MB. Prefer the project's SVG logo (for example public/logo.svg) or a PNG with a transparent background. mono: true draws the logo in the template's text color, which keeps it readable on any theme; it needs a transparent background.

Input parameters:

- `data` (string): The logo file as base64, or as a data: URL.
- `svg` (string): The logo as SVG text.

### `search_templates` (~491 tokens)

Search video templates

Find marketing video templates for a product, project, or announcement. Prefer a marketing goal and, when project facts support it, a release moment; then add a short product or style query. Returns a searchId, the selected moment, detectedMoments hints, and results with id, title, goals, moments, aspect, length, preview MP4, poster image, and editor URL. Engine details appear only when the engine filter is used.

Input parameters:

- `aspect` (string): Only when the destination implies it: 9:16 vertical (Reels, TikTok, Shorts), 16:9 (YouTube, web), 1:1 or 4:5 (feeds).
- `engine` (string): Advanced source-package filter. Omit unless the user explicitly asks for an engine.
- `goal` (string): Marketing goal. One of: launch-product (Launch a product), announce-feature (Announce a feature), share-update (Share an update), grow-waitlist (Grow a waitlist), announce-integration (Announce an in…
- `limit` (integer): Maximum results, default 6.
- `maxSeconds` (integer): Maximum video length in seconds.
- `moment` (string): Release moment backed by project facts. Filters and ranks templates for it. One of: most-requested-feature (Most-requested feature shipped), generally-available (Available to everyone), limit-raised…
- `music` (boolean): true for beat-synced templates with a generated soundtrack, false for silent ones.
- `purpose` (string): Exact catalog purpose, for example "Product launch".
- `query` (string): Short product or style description, for example "developer tool" or "minimal logo".

### `get_template_spec` (~93 tokens)

Get template spec

Get the editable fields of one template: current props, text roles with maxLength, theme colors, scenes, format, JSON Schema, and the source package for local rendering. Call before build_edit_link and start from the returned props.

Input parameters:

- `searchId` (string): The searchId returned by search_templates. Pass it through so picks can be measured.
- `variantId` (string, required): Template id from search_templates.

### `build_edit_link` (~129 tokens)

Build editor link

Validate filled-in props for a template and return a cliphou.se link that opens a live, editable preview of the customized video. The user can export the MP4 there. Invalid props return an error that names the field to fix.

Input parameters:

- `props` (object, required): The full props object from get_template_spec with edited texts, theme, and media.
- `searchId` (string): The searchId returned by search_templates. Pass it through so picks can be measured.
- `templateVersion` (integer): Only for older template versions. Usually omit.
- `variantId` (string, required): Template id.

### `render_preview` (~268 tokens)

Render personalized preview

Render a poster image of a template filled with the user's props, in a few seconds, and return it with the editor link. Call after get_template_spec once the props are filled, and show the image to the user. Invalid props return an error that names the field to fix. If rendering is unavailable, poster is null and the editor link still works.
With loop: true it also waits for a 4-second animated WebP loop of these props and returns it as video. A loop still rendering has video: null and videoPending: true; call again with the same props to get it. loop: "start" returns the poster now and starts the loop in the background. Show the loop as an image (Markdown ![title](video)) where the host renders images.

Input parameters:

- `loop`: true waits for a 4-second animated loop of these props and returns it as video. "start" only starts it.
- `props` (object, required): The full props object from get_template_spec with edited texts, theme, and media.
- `searchId` (string): The searchId returned by search_templates. Pass it through so picks can be measured.
- `templateVersion` (integer): Only for older template versions. Usually omit.
- `variantId` (string, required): Template id.

### `render_previews` (~367 tokens)

Render tailored previews

Render posters of up to 4 templates at once, each filled with one brand description, so the user picks from options that already show their product. The server maps the brand onto each template's text fields and shortens text to fit. Returns, per template: id, title, poster URL (null if it was not ready in time), editor link, the tailored props to start from after the pick, and keptSample: text fields that still hold the template's sample text (fill them with real facts after the pick). Inline images follow the text, in the same order as the results.
shortened lists brand texts that were cut to fit a field ({role, from, to, max}); rewrite them for that field after the pick.
Animated loops (4-second animated WebP of each tailored template) take two calls. First call with loop: "start": it returns the posters as fast as without loops and starts the loops in the background. Show the posters. Then call again with the same arguments and loop: true: it waits for the loops and returns video (the loop URL) per template. A loop still rendering has video: null and videoPending: true; call once more to get it. Show each loop as an image (Markdown ![title](video)) where the host renders images, so the options animate.

Input parameters:

- `brand` (object, required): The product facts from the user's project. Never invent numbers.
- `loop`: "start" returns the posters now and starts 4-second animated loops in the background. true waits for the loops and returns them as video.
- `searchId` (string): The searchId returned by search_templates. Pass it through so picks can be measured.
- `variantIds` (array, required): Template ids from search_templates.
