## Common questions

### What is the BetaDrop MCP server?

BetaDrop is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.betadrop-app/betadrop-mcp. Publish iOS and Android builds to testers and manage share links from an AI coding agent. This page covers its npm package (@betadrop/mcp).

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

BetaDrop 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 BetaDrop MCP server expose?

BetaDrop exposes 11 tools: betadrop_whoami, betadrop_login, betadrop_logout, betadrop_publish, betadrop_upload_status, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 724 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the BetaDrop MCP server still maintained?

BetaDrop 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 BetaDrop MCP server under?

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