Install

How do I install the GoldenCheck MCP server?

GoldenCheck is a hosted endpoint at https://goldencheck-mcp-production.up.railway.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.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

MCP tools · 19 exposed · ~1,160 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 GoldenCheck MCP server?

GoldenCheck is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.benseverndev-oss/goldencheck. Auto-discover validation rules from data, scan, profile, health-score. No rules to write. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://goldencheck-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp/).

Is the GoldenCheck MCP server safe to use?

GoldenCheck scores 0 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 GoldenCheck MCP server expose?

GoldenCheck exposes 19 tools: scan, validate, profile, health_score, list_checks, and 14 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,160 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the GoldenCheck MCP server require authentication?

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

Is the GoldenCheck MCP server still maintained?

GoldenCheck has been unreachable for long enough that we treat it as dead, and its score is pinned to zero. We last reached this channel on 20 August 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
