Spark Apps Catalogue
REMOTE · SPARK-APPS.CO · SCANNED SEP 22
Read-only catalogue of the Spark apps: what each one does, its stack, and where it runs.
Available components
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 Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 4 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- 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 Usability84
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 400 tokens (~100/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management13
- Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 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
How do I install the Spark Apps Catalogue MCP server?
Spark Apps Catalogue is a hosted endpoint at https://spark-apps.co/api/mcp/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.

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.
- 21 Sept 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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 →
get_app ~79
Get one app from the Spark catalogue by its id, with its full description, tags and links. Read-only. If the id is unknown the result lists every valid id, so there is no need to guess twice.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | The app's catalogue id, e.g. sparkstack or sparkmobile. Lowercase, no spaces. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_apps ~63
List every app in the Spark catalogue: id, name, tagline, description, tags, homepage and store or repository links. Read-only. Small enough to read in full, so prefer this over search when the question is about the range of apps rather than a specific one.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_tags ~43
List every tag used across the Spark catalogue with how many apps carry it, most used first. Read-only. Use this before search_apps to pick a tag that actually exists.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_apps ~102
Search the Spark catalogue by keyword across app names, taglines, descriptions and tags, optionally narrowed to a single tag. Read-only. Pass an empty query with a tag to list everything carrying that tag.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Words to look for. Matched as a substring; pass an empty string to match all. |
| tag | string | – | Restrict to one tag, e.g. Next.js or Mobile. Use list_tags to see valid tags. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.

Is the Spark Apps Catalogue MCP server safe to use?
Spark Apps Catalogue scores 70 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 Spark Apps Catalogue MCP server expose?
Spark Apps Catalogue exposes 4 tools: list_apps, get_app, search_apps, list_tags. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 287 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Spark Apps Catalogue MCP server require authentication?
