Endpoint Security69
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability87
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 313 tokens (~156/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 Management57
  • Stability observed for 17 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
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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Install

How do I install the runx MCP server?

runx is a hosted endpoint at https://api.runx.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.

MCP tools · 2 exposed · ~191 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
get_skill ~104

Read one runx skill in full before running it: its manifest, the authority it asks for, its publisher and trust signals, and the exact command to install and run it through the runx CLI. Everything needed to decide whether to trust a skill arrives in this one call.

NameTypeReqDescription
skill_idstringyesSkill id in owner/name form, for example `ausca/browser-session`.
versionstringExact version to read. Defaults to the latest published version.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_skills ~87

Find runx skills by what they do. Returns each match with its skill id, owner, description, latest version, and trust tier, so a caller can pick one and then read it in full with get_skill.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitintegerMaximum matches to return.
querystringyesWhat the skill should do, in plain words. An empty string browses everything.

Common questions

What is the runx MCP server?

runx is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as ai.runx/runx. The governed runtime for agent skills. Search the catalog and inspect a skill before running it. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.runx.ai/mcp).

Is the runx MCP server safe to use?

runx 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 runx MCP server expose?

runx exposes 2 tools: search_skills, get_skill. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 191 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the runx MCP server require authentication?

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

Is the runx MCP server still maintained?

runx is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 24 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
