## 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**: 60/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 14 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 64/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1135 tokens (~81/item across 14 items; 14 tools + 0 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**: 85/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 55% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 20/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (14)

### `list_projects` (~39 tokens)

List the newest open projects raising on Hiveround. Returns at most 25.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number)
- `stage` (string)

### `search_projects` (~76 tokens)

Search open projects by keyword across name, one-liner, description, and sector. Optional filters: stage, max raise size in USD.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number)
- `max_raise_usd` (number): Maximum raise size in USD
- `query` (string, required): Free-text search query
- `stage` (string)

### `get_project` (~31 tokens)

Get the full project listing by slug, including the founder's GitHub handle.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required)

### `request_intro` (~69 tokens)

Request an intro to a project's founder on behalf of the API key's owner. The founder receives an email with the investor's GitHub handle. (requires API key)

Input parameters:

- `message` (string, required): Intro message from the investor (max 2000 chars)
- `slug` (string, required): Project slug

### `watch_project` (~83 tokens)

Add a project to your pipeline (or update its stage). Stages: interested, diligence, intro_requested, passed, invested. Optional notes are appended to the watch's note log. (requires API key)

Input parameters:

- `notes` (string): Optional note to append (max 4000 chars)
- `slug` (string, required): Project slug
- `stage` (string)

### `update_watch` (~60 tokens)

Move a watched project to a new pipeline stage and/or append a note. The project must already be in your pipeline. (requires API key)

Input parameters:

- `notes` (string)
- `slug` (string, required): Project slug
- `stage` (string)

### `list_watches` (~66 tokens)

Return your pipeline — every project you're watching, with stage, tags, raise size, and last-updated timestamp. Optionally filter by stage or tag. (requires API key)

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number)
- `stage` (string)
- `tag` (string)

### `list_intros` (~113 tokens)

List the intro threads you're a party to (sent as an investor or received as a founder). Each entry includes the counterparty, message count, last-message preview, and whether you have unread messages. Optionally filter by your role or unread-only. (requires API key)

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number)
- `role` (string): Filter to intros where you are the investor or the founder. Omit to see both.
- `unread_only` (boolean): Only return threads with unread messages from the counterparty.

### `read_intro_thread` (~55 tokens)

Read all messages in a specific intro thread you're a party to. Marks the thread as read for you. (requires API key)

Input parameters:

- `intro_id` (string, required): Intro UUID, as returned by list_intros or request_intro.

### `send_intro_message` (~80 tokens)

Append a message to an existing intro thread you're a party to. The other party gets an email notification linking back to the thread. Use this to follow up after request_intro or to keep a conversation moving. (requires API key)

Input parameters:

- `body` (string, required): Message body (1–4000 chars).
- `intro_id` (string, required): Intro UUID.

### `submit_commitment` (~207 tokens)

Record an investor's intent-to-fund a project. Without terms it starts at 'soft_circled'; attach a terms object and it starts at 'term_sheet'. The founder still has to acknowledge — a commitment doesn't count as 'committed' (and doesn't show in the public round progress) until both sides have acked. (requires API key)

Input parameters:

- `amount_usd` (number, required): Commitment amount in USD (whole dollars).
- `instrument` (string)
- `intro_id` (string): Optional intro UUID to link this commitment to an existing conversation.
- `notes` (string): Free-form note (max 4000 chars).
- `slug` (string, required): Project slug.
- `terms` (object): Optional structured terms, e.g. { cap: 8000000, discount: 0.20, mfn: true, valuation: 4000000, pro_rata: true }. Presence promotes initial status from soft_circled to term_sheet.

### `acknowledge_commitment` (~82 tokens)

Acknowledge a commitment as the founder or the investor. When both sides have acknowledged, status auto-promotes from soft_circled/term_sheet to 'committed' and the amount is added to the project's public round progress. Calling twice from the same side is a no-op. (requires API key)

Input parameters:

- `commitment_id` (string, required): Commitment UUID.

### `update_commitment_status` (~97 tokens)

Change a commitment's status. Role-gated: only the investor can 'withdraw' a commitment, only the founder can mark it 'funded' (after the wire lands). Either side can move between soft_circled/term_sheet/committed. (requires API key)

Input parameters:

- `commitment_id` (string, required)
- `notes` (string): Optional note (max 4000 chars).
- `status` (string, required)

### `list_commitments` (~77 tokens)

List commitments where you're either the investor or the founder. Filter by project slug, your role, or status. (requires API key)

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number)
- `role` (string): Only commits where you're acting in this role.
- `slug` (string): Filter to a single project.
- `status` (string)
