MCP tools · 10 exposed · ~1,023 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
check_dependency ~167

Check one package, and optionally one version, against Evergreen's lifecycle rules before adding it to a project. Pass a Package URL such as pkg:npm/request@2.88.2 or pkg:github/actions/checkout@v4. Returns evergreen.check.v1: a status (affected, not-affected, version-dependent, or no-data), the evidence-backed findings, and a replacement when one is known. no-data means Evergreen has no rule for the package, not that it is safe. No repository is read.

NameTypeReqDescription
purlstringyesPackage URL of the dependency, with the version when it is known, for example pkg:npm/request@2.88.2.
versionstring–Exact version to check; overrides a version written in the PURL.

No examples provided.

check_snippet ~142

Check one file snippet before writing it: pass the intended repository-relative path and the exact content, and Evergreen runs all built-in detectors against that one file in an isolated temporary directory. Call this before writing or editing package manifests, Dockerfiles, CI workflows, and Kubernetes manifests. Returns the same findings as scan_repository, with paths and lines relative to the snippet. The real repository is never read or written.

NameTypeReqDescription

No examples provided.

check_upgrade ~161

Answer from files already in the repository whether a project can move to a target runtime, without running anything or using the network. Pass target as runtime@version, for example php@8.4. Returns evergreen.upgrade.v1: the verdict, the analyzers that applied, and every blocker, warning, and unknown with its path, line, and the exact constraint it read. An unknown verdict means Evergreen found no evidence for this runtime in this repository; it is not a statement that the upgrade is safe.

NameTypeReqDescription
pathstring–Local path to the repository. Defaults to the server working directory.

Common questions

What is the Evergreen MCP server?

Evergreen is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.arminazimi/evergreen. Evidence-backed deprecation and end-of-life checks for dependencies, runtimes, and Actions. This page covers its npm package (evergreen-deprecation).

Is the Evergreen MCP server safe to use?

Evergreen scores 91 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 4 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 Evergreen MCP server expose?

Evergreen exposes 10 tools: scan_repository, list_deprecations, explain_deprecation, create_migration_context, verify_migration, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,023 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the Evergreen MCP server still maintained?

Evergreen 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.

What licence is the Evergreen MCP server under?

Evergreen declares the Apache-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
