Endpoint Security74
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability41
  • 0% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Fail
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2385 tokens (~216/item across 11 items; 10 tools + 1 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 Management3
  • Stability observed for 1 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 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 12 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
Install

How do I install the MAD Synapse · Utils MCP server?

MAD Synapse · Utils is a hosted endpoint at https://agent.maddegen.art/hub/mcp/util, 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.

MCP tools · 10 exposed · ~1,926 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
cron_explain ~174

Explain a cron expression in plain English and list its next N run times in any time zone — catch a schedule mistake before it fires at 3 am. Supports 5-field and 6-field (seconds) cron, ranges, steps, L/W/#, and nicknames (@daily, @hourly…). Price: free. Errors: returns isError with a message for invalid input or an upstream failure (not charged).

MAD Synapse · Utils exposes 10 tools: qr_code, hash_encode, json_schema_validate, cron_explain, markdown_convert, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,926 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the MAD Synapse · Utils MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to MAD Synapse · Utils without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the MAD Synapse · Utils MCP server still maintained?

MAD Synapse · Utils is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 29 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
