## 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**: 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**: 69/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 598 tokens (~149/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**: 47/100
  - Stability observed for 14 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 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (4)

### `orkid_quote` (~199 tokens)

Orkid Swap Quote

Get a live, non-executing swap quote from the Orkid solver network (gasless via Permit2, MEV-protected). Same-chain swaps on Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Unichain, BSC, Robinhood. The response includes a swapUrl — send the user there to sign; the agent never touches keys. Free with X-ORKID-API-Key header (key at orkidlabs.xyz/partner) or $0.002 USDC/call via x402.

Input parameters:

- `amount` (string, required): Human-readable input amount, e.g. "25"
- `chain` (string, required): Chain name or id: base | ethereum | arbitrum | unichain | bsc | robinhood | polygon
- `from` (string, required): Input token symbol (e.g. USDC) or contract address
- `to` (string, required): Output token symbol (e.g. WETH) or contract address

### `orkid_swap_link` (~132 tokens)

Orkid Swap Deep Link

Build a hydrated Orkid swap URL (prefilled pair, amount, chain, partner attribution). Send this link to the user — they review and sign in their own wallet. Requires X-ORKID-API-Key header like all tool calls.

Input parameters:

- `amount` (string): Human-readable amount, e.g. "25"
- `chain` (string): base | ethereum | arbitrum | unichain | bsc | robinhood | polygon
- `from` (string): Input token symbol, e.g. USDC
- `to` (string): Output token symbol, e.g. WETH

### `orkid_chains` (~30 tokens)

Orkid Supported Chains

List chains where Orkid same-chain swaps are live, bridge coverage, and gasless minimums.

### `orkid_bridge_quote` (~237 tokens)

Orkid Bridge Quote

Get a non-custodial cross-chain bridge quote (Across) between Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Robinhood (4663). Returns unsigned transaction data — the depositor wallet signs and broadcasts. Free with X-ORKID-API-Key header or $0.002 USDC/call via x402.

Input parameters:

- `amount` (string, required): Amount in base units (integer string), e.g. "25000000" for 25 USDC
- `depositor` (string, required): Depositor 0x address — the wallet that will sign
- `destinationChainId` (number, required): Destination chain id: 1 | 8453 | 42161 | 137 | 4663
- `inputToken` (string, required): Input token symbol or address on the origin chain
- `originChainId` (number, required): Origin chain id: 1 | 8453 | 42161 | 137 | 4663

### Is the Orkid Swap MCP server safe to use?

Orkid Swap scores 79 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 Orkid Swap MCP server expose?

Orkid Swap exposes 4 tools: orkid_quote, orkid_swap_link, orkid_chains, orkid_bridge_quote. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 598 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Orkid Swap MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Orkid Swap without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the Orkid Swap MCP server still maintained?

Orkid Swap is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
