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 Usability66
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 922 tokens (~230/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 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
- 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 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

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 →
scaremap_categories List haunt categories ~61
List every haunt category with its display label and the number of public haunts in it. Call this first when the user asks what kinds of places ScareMap covers, or to get valid values for the category filter on the other tools. Takes no input.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| categories | array | yes | – |
| total_haunts | number | yes | – |
No examples provided.
scaremap_find_haunts Find haunts near a location ~293
Find haunted houses, haunt farms, ghost tours, horror escape rooms and haunted places within a radius of a latitude/longitude, nearest first. Call this when the user gives a place, address or coordinates and wants scary things to do nearby. Geocode a place name to lat/lng first; this tool does not search by name. Filter by category, by season, or by minimum visitor ratings. Unrated haunts (review_count 0) have null ratings and are left out when min_stars or min_scare is set. For a whole city or state use scaremap_find_haunts_in_city. For the full record and reviews of one result use scaremap_get_haunt.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Only this category. Call scaremap_categories for the list. |
| lat | number | yes | Latitude of the search center, decimal degrees. |
| limit | integer | – | Maximum results. Default 10, maximum 25. |
| lng | number | yes | Longitude of the search center, decimal degrees. |
| min_scare | number | – | Minimum average scare intensity (1 to 5). |
| min_stars | number | – | Minimum average quality rating (1 to 5). |
| radius_miles | number | – | Search radius in miles. Default 25, maximum 150. |
| season | string | – | halloween = seasonal haunt, year_round = open outside October. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| haunts | array | yes | – |
| total_matches | number | yes | Matches inside the radius before the limit is applied. |
No examples provided.
scaremap_find_haunts_in_city Find haunts in a city or state ~230
List haunts in a US state, or in one city of that state, using the same state and city grouping as the ScareMap location pages. Call this when the user names a state or city ("haunted houses in Salem, Massachusetts") and has no coordinates. State accepts a name, a slug or a two-letter code. Results are ordered by review count, then name. If the city is not found, the error lists the cities ScareMap has in that state. To search by distance from a point use scaremap_find_haunts.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Only this category. Call scaremap_categories for the list. |
| city | string | – | City name within the state. Omit to list the whole state. |
| limit | integer | – | Maximum results. Default 25, maximum 50. |
| season | string | – | halloween = seasonal haunt, year_round = open outside October. |
| state | string | yes | State name, slug or two-letter code, for example "Massachusetts", "new-york" or "TX". |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | string|null | yes | – |
| haunts | array | yes | – |
| page_url | string | yes | ScareMap location page for this state or city. |
| state | string | yes | – |
| total_matches | number | yes | – |
No examples provided.
scaremap_get_haunt Get one haunt with reviews ~145
Get the full record for one haunt: description, category, season, location, average ratings, and up to 20 of the newest visitor reviews (stars, scare, text, date). Call this after scaremap_find_haunts or scaremap_find_haunts_in_city when the user wants detail on a specific result. Pass the slug from those results, or the haunt id. Reviews are anonymous. A haunt with no reviews returns an empty list.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | – | Haunt UUID. Use instead of slug. |
| slug | string | – | Haunt slug from other ScareMap tools, for example "hellscream-haunted-house". |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| haunt | object | yes | – |
| reviews | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
How do I install the ScareMap MCP server?
ScareMap is a hosted endpoint at https://www.scaremap.app/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.

Is the ScareMap MCP server safe to use?
ScareMap scores 80 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 ScareMap MCP server expose?
ScareMap exposes 4 tools: scaremap_find_haunts, scaremap_find_haunts_in_city, scaremap_get_haunt, scaremap_categories. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 729 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the ScareMap MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to ScareMap without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
