Category Maps and Location
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability83
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 315 tokens (~63/item across 5 items; 4 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (25% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
get_documentation Search Smarter Weather documentation ~84
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Search terms, e.g. "authenticate rest api" (max 200 chars) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_plans Get Smarter Weather developer plans ~51
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.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
sign_up Get the Smarter Weather sign-up URL ~70
Returns the Smarter Weather developer sign-up URL (with MCP referral attribution). Present the URL so the user can create a free account in a browser (Clerk, no credit card). After they finish, reconnect this MCP server with OAuth and call create_api_key, then configure_mcp. No authentication required.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| instructions | string | yes | – |
| signupUrl | string | yes | – |
| widget | object | – | sw-ui-spec widget block rendered by the MCP Apps onboarding widget (ui://onboarding-widget/v1/index.html). Additive; safe to ignore. |
No examples provided.
start_trial Start a Smarter Weather trial API key ~85
Does not mint from the hosted server. Prefer `npx -y @smarterweather/mcp-onboarding@latest trial` (no MCP host), or add the stdio bridge and call start_trial there. Both write SMARTERWEATHER_API_KEY to .env and never print the bearer. If you already run the package and still see this, restart it on @latest.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
How do I install the Smarter Weather Developer Onboarding MCP server?
Smarter Weather Developer Onboarding is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.developers.smarterweather.com/, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Is the Smarter Weather Developer Onboarding MCP server safe to use?
Smarter Weather Developer Onboarding scores 87 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 Smarter Weather Developer Onboarding MCP server expose?
Smarter Weather Developer Onboarding exposes 4 tools: get_plans, get_documentation, sign_up, start_trial. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 290 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Smarter Weather Developer Onboarding MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Smarter Weather Developer Onboarding without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Smarter Weather Developer Onboarding MCP server still maintained?

What did VerifyMCP test on the Smarter Weather Developer Onboarding MCP server?
VerifyMCP ran 14 checks on Smarter Weather Developer Onboarding, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 10 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
