## MCP tools (2)

### `pull_stub` (~181 tokens)

Open a one-time Stubs link and write its values into the project's env file. Returns key names only. Never read or print the env file afterwards; run commands that need the values with `npx -y --loglevel=warn -- @talix/stubs@0.6.0 run -- <cmd>` (with `--env <name>` before the `--` if you pulled with `env`), which masks them in the output.

Input parameters:

- `env`: Environment name: writes .env.<env>, so production writes .env.production. Used as given. Instead of file.
- `file`: Env file to write, relative to and inside the project. Defaults to .env.local.
- `link`: The stubs link, including everything after #.
- `overwrite`: Replace values of keys that already exist instead of skipping them.

### `check_stub` (~38 tokens)

Check whether a one-time Stubs link is still sealed, without opening it.

Input parameters:

- `link`: The stubs link, including everything after #.

## Common questions

### What is the Stubs MCP server?

Stubs is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as app.talix/stubs. Pull one-time .env links from stubs.talix.app into a project. Returns key names, never values. This page covers its npm package (@talix/stubs).

### Is the Stubs MCP server safe to use?

Stubs scores 77 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 7 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 Stubs MCP server expose?

Stubs exposes 2 tools: pull_stub, check_stub. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 219 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Stubs MCP server still maintained?

Stubs is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 7 November 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 Stubs MCP server under?

Stubs declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Stubs MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Stubs, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
