## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - 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**: 82/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 242 tokens (~60/item across 4 items; 3 tools + 1 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (33% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

## MCP tools (3)

### `get_plans` (~51 tokens)

Get Smarter Weather developer plans

Current developer-platform plans and pricing: Free, Developer, and Professional tiers with monthly price, included API-call allowance, and overage rates. One metered allowance spans REST and MCP usage. No authentication required.

### `get_documentation` (~84 tokens)

Search Smarter Weather documentation

Search the Smarter Weather developer documentation index (quickstart, REST API, MCP server, errors, rate limits, SDKs, pricing, API keys). Returns up to 5 matching entries with title, URL, and an actionable summary. No authentication required.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Search terms, e.g. "authenticate rest api" (max 200 chars)

### `sign_up` (~82 tokens)

Get the Smarter Weather request-access URL

Returns the Smarter Weather developer request-access URL (with MCP referral attribution). The developer platform is in limited preview: signup is invite-based. Present the URL to the user so they can request access in a browser; once they receive and accept an email invitation, they authenticate this MCP server via OAuth to continue onboarding (key minting, client configuration). No authentication required.

Output parameters:

- `instructions` (string)
- `signupUrl` (string)
- `widget` (object): sw-ui-spec widget block rendered by the MCP Apps onboarding widget (ui://onboarding-widget/v1/index.html). Additive; safe to ignore.
