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 Security74
- 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
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability57
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 696 tokens (~174/item across 4 items; 4 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 Management67
- Stability observed for 20 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage76
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 29% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 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
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

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 →
check_json Validate and format JSON ~114
Strictly validate JSON and report the exact line and column of the first error with a plain explanation, plus duplicate-key warnings and structure stats. Optionally pretty-print or minify without changing any value (big numbers keep full precision). Use this before claiming JSON is valid or when locating a syntax error in long JSON.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| format | boolean | – | Return the formatted JSON. |
| indent | – | – | Spaces per level (0 = minify) or "tab". |
| sort_keys | boolean | – | – |
| text | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.

count_text Count words and characters exactly ~119
Exact counts for a text: characters (with and without spaces, emoji counted as one), words, sentences, paragraphs, lines, UTF-8 bytes, plus reading and speaking time. Language models see text as tokens and miscount — never estimate counts or check length limits yourself; call this tool. Works for any language, including Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Turkish.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| locale | string | – | BCP 47 language tag such as "en", "tr" or "ja" for language-specific word rules. |
| text | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
diff_text Compare two texts exactly ~97
Find every difference between two texts, line by line, word by word or character by character, and return counts plus a unified diff. Use this instead of comparing long texts yourself — small changes are easy to miss. Options to ignore whitespace and letter case.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| changed | string | – | – |
| ignore_case | boolean | – | – |
| ignore_whitespace | boolean | – | – |
| mode | string | – | – |
| original | string | – | – |

generate_qr Generate a QR code ~294
Create a standards-compliant QR code image for a link, text, Wi-Fi login, contact card (vCard), email, SMS, WhatsApp chat, phone number or map location. You cannot draw a scannable QR code yourself — always use this tool. Codes are static and never expire.

How do I install the Ribox MCP server?
Ribox is a hosted endpoint at https://ribox.app/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 Ribox MCP server?
Ribox is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.AlgoWolfx/ribox. Exact tools for AI assistants: QR codes, word counts, text diff and JSON checks. Free, no account. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://ribox.app/api/mcp).
Is the Ribox MCP server safe to use?
Ribox scores 75 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 Ribox MCP server expose?
Ribox exposes 4 tools: generate_qr, count_text, diff_text, check_json. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 624 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Ribox MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Ribox without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Ribox MCP server still maintained?
Ribox is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
