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 Security57
- 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 2 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
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability83
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 229 tokens (~114/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities40
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the io.github.Cocabadger/tick-mcp server?
io.github.Cocabadger/tick-mcp is a hosted endpoint at https://tick-mcp-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.

| railway.app. | absent | Unsigned (proven) parent-signed NSEC/NSEC3 proves an unsigned delegation |
Authentication No authorisation required
The endpoint answered without asking for a token. Anyone who knows the URL can reach it.

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 →
now ~142
Get the REAL current date and time. Call this at the start of a reply and before using any relative time words (yesterday, tomorrow, tonight, next week). Never guess time from context. NEVER write a clock time in your reply that did not come from this tool's output in THIS turn — a timestamp without a fresh call is a hallucination, even if it plausibly continues from an earlier one. ALWAYS pass the user's IANA timezone — this server is remote, so without it you get UTC, not the user's local time.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| timezone | string | – | The user's IANA timezone, e.g. Europe/Warsaw. Omitting it returns UTC. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
since ~87
How long ago (or from now) a given ISO-8601 timestamp is, in human form ('3h 42m ago'). Use to check whether an event was really 'yesterday'. Include the UTC offset in the timestamp.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| timestamp | string | yes | ISO-8601, e.g. 2026-07-11T09:30:00+02:00 |
