## 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**: 11/100
  - TLS not yet verified: we couldn't open a connection to check the certificate.
  - Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS not yet verified: we couldn't read the response headers to check for it.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but we couldn't connect to verify it.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema, or could read only part of its tool list.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.
- **Tool Safety**: 0/100
  - Tool safety not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's capabilities.

**Unverified: 5 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Install

### How do I install the MethodIQ Tools MCP server?

MethodIQ Tools is a hosted endpoint at https://methodiq-tools-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.

## Common questions

### What is the MethodIQ Tools MCP server?

MethodIQ Tools is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.cnucho/methodiq-tools. Create and revise diagrams, charts, PowerPoint presentations and research workflows. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://methodiq-tools-production.up.railway.app/mcp).

### Is the MethodIQ Tools MCP server safe to use?

MethodIQ Tools scores 68 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 MethodIQ Tools MCP server expose?

MethodIQ Tools exposes 101 tools: get_methodiq_tool_guide, list_methodiq_tools, render_methodiq_tool_directory, list_diagram_templates, create_diagram, and 96 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 7,019 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the MethodIQ Tools MCP server require authentication?

Its publisher declares no required credentials for MethodIQ Tools. We have not been able to confirm that against the live endpoint, and a server can require authorisation without declaring it here.

### Is the MethodIQ Tools MCP server still maintained?

MethodIQ Tools is still listed in the MCP registry, though our most recent checks did not reach this channel. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
