## 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**: 63/100
  - 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, 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**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 729 tokens (~182/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 20/100
  - Stability observed for 6 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 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.

## MCP tools (4)

### `get_minimum_wage` (~212 tokens)

Get state minimum wage

Minimum wage for one US state or DC on a date in 2026-2027: standard hourly rate, tipped cash wage, tip credit and the date the rate took effect. Uses the US DOL July 2026 tables and state labor department pages checked October 2026, including increases on July 1, September 30 and January 1, 2027 that postdate most model training data. Applies the $7.25 federal floor when a state has no law or a lower rate, and says so. Inflation-indexed 2027 rates not yet published are reported as not announced, never estimated. State-level only: city and county rates are not included.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Date as YYYY-MM-DD between 2026-01-01 and 2027-12-31. Defaults to today.
- `state` (string, required): US state name or 2-letter code, or DC. Examples: "California", "TX", "District of Columbia".

### `list_upcoming_increases` (~124 tokens)

List upcoming minimum wage increases

Every scheduled state minimum wage change from a date (default today) through 2027-12-31, sorted by date, with the new rate, the previous rate, the change and the tipped cash wage. Includes 2027-01-01 increases already enacted in law or announced under inflation indexing, and lists indexed changes whose number is not published yet as announced:false. Optional filter by states.

Input parameters:

- `from` (string): Start date as YYYY-MM-DD (exclusive). Defaults to today.
- `states` (array): Optional list of states to include.

### `compare_states` (~126 tokens)

Compare state minimum wages

Side-by-side minimum wages for 2 to 10 US states (or DC) on one date in 2026-2027: standard rate, tipped cash wage, tip credit, effective date and full-time annual pay (40 h x 52 weeks), sorted highest first, with the gap between highest and lowest. State-level only.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Date as YYYY-MM-DD between 2026-01-01 and 2027-12-31. Defaults to today.
- `states` (array, required): 2 to 10 states, names or codes.

### `annual_income_at_minimum_wage` (~178 tokens)

Annual income at minimum wage

Gross weekly, monthly and annual pay at a state's minimum wage on a date in 2026-2027, for given hours per week (default 40) and weeks per year (default 52). Uses the state rate in force on that date (with the federal floor where it applies). Pre-tax; ignores overtime and tips.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Date as YYYY-MM-DD between 2026-01-01 and 2027-12-31. Defaults to today.
- `hours_per_week` (number): Hours worked per week. Default 40.
