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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability64
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 592 tokens (~197/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management10
- Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage90
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 71% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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.

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 →
create_draft Save cards as a draft ~379
Save a DRAFT of postcards, from a single card to one person (e.g. "send a thank-you postcard to my aunt") to a whole registry or guest list, and return a link where the sender adds their return address, reviews every card, and pays on shipnote.co. This tool never mails a card and never charges anyone. Each recipient is one card (one per household for a list): the name as it appears on the card, the full US mailing address as "Street, City, ST ZIP" (empty if unknown), and the gift as a short noun phrase without the store name (e.g. "stand mixer", not "KitchenAid stand mixer from Target"). senderName is the name the sender signs cards with; without it, the default message stays unsigned until the sender fills it in on shipnote.co. Up to 500 recipients per draft. Each call makes a new draft with a new link. This tool can't take a picture. A photo card (the sender's own picture as the whole front) is saved with design image-only, and the sender adds the photo on shipnote.co after opening the link; a photo inside a design uses a design marked (1 photo). list_card_designs also shows designs that need no photo.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| design | string | – | A design id from list_card_designs for that occasion. |
| message | string | – | The card message, with [RECIPIENT] and [GIFT_NAME] as placeholders ShipNote fills in for each card. Defaults to the occasion's standard message. |
| occasion | string | yes | Supported occasion id from list_card_designs. |
| recipients | array | yes | – |
| senderName | string | – | How the sender signs, e.g. "Sam & Alex". Replaces [YOUR NAME] and becomes the return-address name. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_card_designs Browse card designs ~85
List the occasions ShipNote makes postcards for, and the card designs available for one occasion, each with the id that create_draft accepts as design. Read-only: it saves nothing.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| occasion | string | – | Occasion id from this tool's occasion list, e.g. wedding, baby-shower, thank-you. Without it, the tool returns the list of occasions. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
quote_price Get a price quote ~43
Price for printing, stamping and mailing a number of ShipNote postcards within the US. Read-only: it saves nothing and charges nothing.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| cardCount | integer | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
How do I install the ShipNote MCP server?
ShipNote is a hosted endpoint at https://www.shipnote.co/api/mcp/claude, 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.
