## 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 2026-10-22.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - 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.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - 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**: 77/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 589 tokens (~196/item across 3 items; 2 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **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 (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 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.
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (2)

### `convert_pdf_tables` (~302 tokens)

Convert PDF tables to Excel

Use this when the user wants to convert a PDF to Excel, convert PDF to Excel, extract a table from a PDF, convert PDF table to Excel, PDF to CSV, PDF to XLSX, get a bank statement PDF to Excel, or turn a PDF to spreadsheet. It reads the tables in a text-based PDF and returns an Excel workbook (one sheet per table) and a ZIP of CSV files, with column types and a preview of the first rows. Handles up to 15 MB and 50 pages. Does not read scanned or image-only pages (no OCR), does not edit the PDF, and keeps files for about 1 hour. Do not use for a PDF that is only a form to fill or for reading a PDF as plain text.

Input parameters:

- `column_types` (array): Force a column type when the detected one is wrong, e.g. [{"table":1,"column":3,"type":"text"}]. The widget's type switches send this.
- `file` (object, required): The text-based PDF that holds the tables, e.g. statement.pdf or price-list.pdf.
- `merge_tables` (boolean): true (default): join the last table on a page to the first on the next page only when their column count and whitespace-normalized source headers match; drop the repeated header.
- `pages` (string): Pages to read, e.g. 1-3,5. Default: every page (first 50).

Output parameters:

- `downloads` (object)
- `file` (string)
- `note` (string)
- `other_text_rows` (number)
- `page_count` (number)
- `pages_read` (number)
- `scanned_pages` (array)
- `status` (string)
- `table_details` (array)
- `tables` (number)
- `truncated` (boolean)
- `warnings` (array)

### `list_pdf_tables` (~193 tokens)

List PDF tables

Use this when the user wants to extract table from pdf, copy table from pdf, or inspect pdf to spreadsheet tables, before exporting: it shows each table's size, column types and first rows with no download. Does not make Excel or CSV files (use convert_pdf_tables for that), does not read scanned pages (no OCR), and handles up to 15 MB and 50 pages. Do not use for editing a PDF or for a PDF that is not a table.

Input parameters:

- `file` (object, required): The text-based PDF that holds the tables, e.g. report.pdf.
- `merge_tables` (boolean): true (default): join the last table on a page to the first on the next page only when their column count and whitespace-normalized source headers match.
- `pages` (string): Pages to read, e.g. 1-3,5. Default: every page (first 50).

Output parameters:

- `file` (string)
- `note` (string)
- `other_text_rows` (number)
- `page_count` (number)
- `pages_read` (number)
- `scanned_pages` (array)
- `status` (string)
- `table_details` (array)
- `tables` (number)
- `truncated` (boolean)
- `warnings` (array)
