## 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**: 94/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token.
  - 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.
  - The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 82/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 621 tokens (~88/item across 7 items; 6 tools + 1 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**: 95/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 86% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (6)

### `complete_profile` (~70 tokens)

GrantIQ complete_profile: fills in the user's matching profile field-by-field via chat. Partial-update semantics — null/missing fields leave existing values untouched. Server filters beneficiary/mission tags to canonical taxonomies. After this returns saved=true, call find_opportunities to see matches.

Input parameters:

- `input` (object, required)

### `search` (~120 tokens)

GrantIQ search: find UK & EU grants matching a free-text query. Returns a ranked list of grant references (id, title, funder, deadline, amounts) the caller can pass to the `fetch` tool for full detail. Results are limited to currently-open, AI-enriched grants — closed, suspended and unpublishable rows are never returned.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of results to return (1-50, default 10).
- `query` (string, required): Free-text search query. Matches grant title, summary, and description.

### `explain_opportunity` (~108 tokens)

GrantIQ explain_opportunity: plain-English unpack of a single grant. Returns a summary, what the grant funds, target applicant profile, hidden constraints (e.g. state aid, consortium requirements), application mechanics (stages, duration, key dates), structured eligibility essentials, and provenance citations. Cached after first call per grant; sub-50ms thereafter.

Input parameters:

- `grant_id` (string, required): The grant id (UUID) to explain. Typically returned in a prior search or find_opportunities call.

### `should_apply` (~122 tokens)

GrantIQ should_apply: opinionated apply / don't-apply decision for a specific grant. Returns a verdict (yes / borderline / no), confidence (0-1), specific blockers, an effort estimate with confidence band, competition-risk label (or 'unknown' when funder data is absent), and the structured evidence behind it. Requires the caller's profile to be set via a prior find_opportunities call or web sign-up.

Input parameters:

- `grant_id` (string, required): The grant id (UUID) to evaluate. Typically returned in a prior search or find_opportunities call.

### `fetch` (~80 tokens)

GrantIQ fetch: return the full record for a single grant by id. The id must come from a prior `search` call. Returns 'not found' when the grant is unknown OR not currently open/visible — there is no leak between those cases.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): The grant id (UUID) returned in a prior `search` result.

### `find_opportunities` (~71 tokens)

GrantIQ find_opportunities: runs the user's profile through the AI matching engine to find the top grants. Uses the canonical StagedMatchingService. Requires a complete profile (Location, OrgType, etc.).

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of results to return (1-10, default 5).
