## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 9 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 40/100
  - Verified sse transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 57/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2370 tokens (~263/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 9 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 20/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (9)

### `read_file` (~264 tokens)

Read the complete contents of a file from the file system. Handles various text encodings and provides detailed error messages if the file cannot be read. Use this tool when you need to examine the contents of a single file. Only works within allowed directories.

Input parameters:

- `context` (string): What is the broader task or objective you are working on? For example: 'security audit', 'data migration', 'performance review'. This helps us prioritize support for AI-assisted workflows.

## Common questions

### What is the io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway MCP server?

io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway. FreeLLMs MCP gateway: filesystem, database, shell, fetch, auth and devtools. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://shell.freellms.net/sse).

### Is the io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway MCP server safe to use?

io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway scores 52 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 io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway MCP server expose?

io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway exposes 9 tools: read_file, read_multiple_files, write_file, create_directory, list_directory, and 4 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,370 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway MCP server still maintained?

io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 11 checks on io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway, covering TLS certificate, HTTPS, HSTS header, DNSSEC and 7 more. 2 items could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about io.github.browtastic/freellms-gateway: Authorization and Stability. One category scores 0 for that reason, because we only credit what we can confirm. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
