## 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 2026-10-02.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 503, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but the endpoint returned HTTP 503.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema, or could read only part of its tool list.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.
- **Tool Safety**: 0/100
  - Tool safety not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's capabilities.

**Unverified: 5 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Common questions

### What is the Swiss Grounding MCP server?

Swiss Grounding is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.soheil1lotfi/swiss-grounding-mcp. Cited answers about Switzerland from official federal, cantonal and municipal sources. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://swiss-grounding-mcp-542630986415.europe-west6.run.app/mcp).

### Is the Swiss Grounding MCP server safe to use?

Swiss Grounding scores 18 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 Swiss Grounding MCP server expose?

Swiss Grounding exposes 13 tools: swiss_coverage, swiss_place_info, search_official_info, read_official_page, swiss_federal_law, and 8 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,406 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Swiss Grounding MCP server require authentication?

Its publisher declares no required credentials for Swiss Grounding. We have not been able to confirm that against the live endpoint, and a server can require authorisation without declaring it here.

### Is the Swiss Grounding MCP server still maintained?

Swiss Grounding is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 2 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
