Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability83
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 335 tokens (~167/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management17
- Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% 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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
How do I install the Edgepedia MCP server?
Edgepedia is a hosted endpoint at https://www.edgechat.ai/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

- 24 Sept 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 10 to 13. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 3 days of observed history at the previous scan, 4 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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 →
fetch Fetch an Edgepedia article ~139
Get one Edgepedia article in full, as Markdown with its citations, by the id of a `search` result. Pass `citations: false` for a text about a quarter shorter: [n] markers in place of the inline source links, the reference list kept. Link the article when you use it; show its `credit` line with any text you quote.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| citations | boolean | – | Default true. false = [n] markers instead of inline source links; the numbered reference list stays. |
| id | string | yes | The id of a search result (the last part of the article's address, such as "mount-fuji"). |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | – |
| metadata | object | – | – |
| text | string | yes | – |
| title | string | yes | – |
| url | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
search Search Edgepedia ~113
Look up a person, place, thing, event, or concept in Edgepedia, an encyclopedia of over 300k articles and constantly growing. Pass the subject's name ("Mount Fuji", "photosynthesis"), not a question: it matches titles, other names, and misspellings, not full text. Returns up to 10 results, each with opening sentences; pass a result's id to `fetch` for the article.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | The name of a subject, or words from an article title. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
