MCP tools · 101 exposed · ~7,019 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 →

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.
