## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-20.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 0/100
  - Malware scan not yet available for this package.
  - Known CVEs could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM, so there is no dependency list to read. Publishing one would let us assess it.
  - Install-script risk not yet assessed.
  - Dependency health could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM, so there is no dependency list to read. Publishing one would let us assess it.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 48/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 18 days ago).
  - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 78/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 452 tokens (~113/item across 4 items; 3 tools + 1 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 63/100
  - Stability observed for 19 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (67% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Install

## MCP tools (3)

### `pronounce` (~139 tokens)

Look up the canonical pronunciation of a developer-related word.

    Returns the IPA, a respelling that approximates how engineers actually
    say the word, a playable MP3 `audio_url`, optional alternate readings,
    the source citation when available, and editorial notes. Use this for project names like
    `kubectl`, `nginx`, `GIF`, `JSON`, `Pydantic`, `Knative`, programmer
    jargon, and tech acronyms. Returns an error dict if the word is not
    in the dictionary; for general English vocabulary, fall back to your
    own knowledge.

Input parameters:

- `word` (string, required)

### `search_pronunciations` (~143 tokens)

Search the dictionary by partial word or category match.

    Matches substrings against the entry's `word` and `category` only —
    the search index (/api/words.json) carries no notes or source text, so
    a query like "Kelsey" will NOT surface `kubectl`. To read an entry's
    notes, look it up with `pronounce`.

    Returns a list of matching entries with `word`, `slug`, `category`,
    and `confidence`. Use this when the exact spelling is unknown or
    when browsing entries by category.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `list_pronunciations` (~95 tokens)

List dictionary entries, optionally filtered by category.

    Categories include: product, project, cli-tool, tool, cs-term,
    acronym, abbreviation, person. The dictionary holds well over 1500
    entries and grows continuously, so the unfiltered list is large —
    pass `category` and/or `limit` to keep the result focused.

Input parameters:

- `category`
- `limit` (integer)

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

## Common questions

### What is the io.github.anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce MCP server?

io.github.anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce. How engineers pronounce developer jargon, 1,903 confidence-tagged entries with citations. This page covers its container image (ghcr.io/anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce-mcp:0.1.2).

### Is the io.github.anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce MCP server safe to use?

io.github.anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce scores 48 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 io.github.anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce MCP server expose?

io.github.anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce exposes 3 tools: pronounce, search_pronunciations, list_pronunciations. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 377 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the io.github.anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce MCP server still maintained?

io.github.anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the io.github.anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce MCP server under?

io.github.anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
