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 Security66
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 5 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability75
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 604 tokens (~120/item across 5 items; 5 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 Management0
- Stability check failed: schema churn in the 14 days we've observed: 4 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 5 additions. See how to fix → Fail
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 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.
- 6 Oct 26 +1
- Stability: 0.03 → fail ▼ security
- Schema quality: pass → fail ▼ functional
- This server's schema is too large to store in full, so we cannot compare its tools day to day functional

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 →
explain_rails ~47
Returns DeFi Garden's active filtering rules (1000% APY sanity cap, $100K TVL floor, anomaly flagging) and the data source, for autonomous agent safety.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
find_pools ~188
Search DeFi Garden's railed pool list by token symbol, chain, project, and minimum TVL floor. Excludes anomalous rates (>1000% APY) and pools below $100K TVL. Data is a daily snapshot of DefiLlama's pool feed.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| chain | string | – | Case-insensitive match against pool blockchain, e.g. 'Base', 'Ethereum' |
| limit | number | – | Maximum pools to return (default: 20, max: 100) |
| min_tvl | number | – | Minimum TVL floor in USD (clamps up to $100,000 minimum) |
| project | string | – | Case-insensitive match against protocol name, e.g. 'morpho-blue', 'aave-v3' |
| token | string | – | Case-insensitive substring match against pool token symbol, e.g. 'USDC' |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
forever_number ~107
Computes the lump-sum capital whose yield alone covers a recurring monthly bill forever, using a TVL-weighted blended rate of railed pools (or a caller-supplied APY between 0 and 1000 percent).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| apy | number | – | Optional annual rate percent, greater than 0 and at most 1000. When omitted, uses the TVL-weighted blended rate of railed pools. |
| monthly | number | yes | Positive USD/month the capital must cover |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_pool ~97
Look up a single pool by its DefiLlama pool UUID, returning APY (base/reward breakdown), TVL, and anomaly / below-floor flags. Data is a daily snapshot of DefiLlama's pool feed.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| pool_id | string | yes | DefiLlama pool UUID (e.g. 'ba68527f-8ec2-4c55-827a-8f4673ae047c') |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_pool_score ~165
Retrieve the DeFi Score (0-100) with its 4-pillar breakdown (stability, fee sustainability, depositor stickiness, exit liquidity), the experimental 14-day forward yield forecast bands (p10/p50/p90), and retail access restrictions. Look up by pool_id, or by exact asset symbol (highest-TVL railed match, with candidates listed). The forecast is experimental.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| asset | string | – | Optional exact, case-insensitive pool symbol to query if pool_id is unknown (e.g. 'USDC', 'STETH'). Not a substring match. |
| chain | string | – | Optional blockchain filter used with asset (e.g. 'Base', 'Ethereum') |
| pool_id | string | – | DefiLlama pool UUID |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
How do I install the DeFi Garden MCP server?
DeFi Garden is a hosted endpoint at https://www.defi.garden/api/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.

What is the DeFi Garden MCP server?
DeFi Garden is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.alex0xhodler/defi-garden. Underwritten DeFi yield discovery & goal planning for AI agents on Base & EVM. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://www.defi.garden/api/mcp).
Is the DeFi Garden MCP server safe to use?
DeFi Garden scores 66 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 DeFi Garden MCP server expose?
DeFi Garden exposes 5 tools: find_pools, get_pool, get_pool_score, forever_number, explain_rails. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 604 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the DeFi Garden MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to DeFi Garden without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the DeFi Garden MCP server still maintained?
DeFi Garden is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 17 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
