Trust breakdown (7 categories)

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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security100
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency19
  • Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
  • Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
  • Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
  • Actively maintained (last published 9 days ago).Pass
  • Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.Unverified
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 5178 tokens (~50/item across 102 items; 102 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management93
  • Stability observed for 28 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage68
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 3% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 2 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "delete_saved_search" implies "delete" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 102 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

MCP tools · 102 exposed · ~5,178 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 →

Common questions

What is the io.github.barneywohl/hugging-bay MCP server?

io.github.barneywohl/hugging-bay is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.barneywohl/hugging-bay. Verified open AI artifact search, trust evidence, downloads, and agent workflows from Hugging Bay. This page covers its npm package (hugging-bay-mcp).

Is the io.github.barneywohl/hugging-bay MCP server safe to use?

io.github.barneywohl/hugging-bay scores 74 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 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 io.github.barneywohl/hugging-bay MCP server expose?

io.github.barneywohl/hugging-bay exposes 102 tools: get_health, get_catalog_coverage, get_open_source_radar, get_trending, get_traffic, and 97 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 5,178 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.github.barneywohl/hugging-bay MCP server still maintained?

io.github.barneywohl/hugging-bay 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.barneywohl/hugging-bay MCP server under?

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