How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security13
- No malware scan is available for this kind of package: the supply-chain vendors we use do not cover it. This is a permanent gap in our coverage, not a finding about the package.Unverified
- Known CVEs were checked across the 31 of 31 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
- Install-script risk not yet assessed.Unverified
- 0 of 31 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency45
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 22 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability80
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 312 tokens (~78/item across 4 items; 3 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management73
- Stability observed for 22 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
- Structured output schemas are declared (33% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass

Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
record_video ~119
Record video from webcam. Returns up to 50 frames as JPEG images. Captures video frames at the camera's native framerate, then samples up to 50 frames evenly distributed across the duration. Free Webcam Bridge playbook does not use this tool (Pro placeholder). Args: duration_seconds: How long to record (default: 5.0 seconds) Returns: List of Image objects, each containing a JPEG frame Raises: WebcamError: If camera access fails or capture errors occur

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
take_photo ~76
Capture a high-resolution photo from the webcam. Uses server configuration for resolution and quality settings. Returns JPEG image data that can be displayed or processed by LLMs. Always releases the camera before returning (including on failure). Returns: Image object containing JPEG data Raises: WebcamError: If camera access fails or capture errors occur
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
webcam_panel Webcam Bridge panel ~88
Open Webcam Bridge Free controls in chat (MCP Apps): buttons 拍一张 / 再拍 / 关掉. Does NOT open the camera. After the user clicks 拍一张, take_photo runs, the JPEG appears in this conversation, and the camera is released. Prefer this over calling take_photo first. Pro (burst / record / countdown) is placeholder-only in Free.

How do I install the Webcam MCP server?
Webcam MCP ships as an MCPB bundle, a single file you download and open in an MCP host that supports MCPB bundles, such as Claude Desktop. The host reads the launch command from the bundle's own manifest, so there is no command to copy. Before opening it, check the file's SHA-256 matches the one the MCP registry declares for it, dee24877446bf85eaefae13dab173b58ec1a2c3971ea05694fbaf257b1739b76; the commands to do that are on this page. If it does not match, do not open it.

Is the Webcam MCP server safe to use?
Webcam MCP scores 53 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 Webcam MCP server expose?
Webcam MCP exposes 3 tools: webcam_panel, take_photo, record_video. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 283 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
What licence is the Webcam MCP server under?
Webcam MCP declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
