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 Security89
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- The endpoint enforces authorisation, but returns a challenge with no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 & Reachability0
- Transport blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to verify streamable-http. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
Schema Quality & AI Usability0
- Schema blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read it. See how to fix → Unverified
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage0
- Tool coverage blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read its tools.Unverified
Tool Safety0
- Tool safety blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read its tools.Unverified
Capabilities0
- Capabilities blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read them. See how to fix → Unverified
Unverified: 6 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. Claim this server and supply a read-only token to verify it and lift the score.
How do I install the Brainiall Web MCP server?
Brainiall Web is a hosted endpoint at https://api.brainiall.com/mcp/web/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.

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 →
check_web_service Check Web Service ~18
Check whether the web reading service is responding.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
crawl_site Crawl Site ~109
Read multiple linked pages with strict page and depth limits. Use only when several pages are required. If you merely need to discover a site's structure, use map_site first because crawling is slower and costlier.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| max_depth | integer | – | Maximum link depth from the starting URL (capped at 5) |
| max_pages | integer | – | Maximum pages to read (capped at 50) |
| url | string | yes | Absolute HTTP(S) starting URL for a bounded multi-page crawl |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
map_site Map Site URLs ~86
List a site's URLs so an agent can select pages before reading them. Prefer this inexpensive discovery step before crawl_site. Map first, then call read_page for selected URLs unless content from many pages is required.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | Maximum URLs to list (capped at 500) |
| url | string | yes | Absolute HTTP(S) site URL whose available URLs should be listed |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
read_page Read Web Page ~87
Read one known web page as clean Markdown without raw HTML noise. Use this for documentation, articles, and product pages when the URL is already known. For an unfamiliar site, use map_site first to choose useful URLs instead of crawling every page.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | Absolute HTTP(S) URL of documentation, an article, or a product page to read without raw HTML noise |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_web Search the Web ~59
Find relevant web pages when you do not already know their URLs.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| max_results | integer | – | Maximum results to return (capped at 25) |
| query | string | yes | Search query used to find pages by title, URL, and snippet |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
What is the Brainiall Web MCP server?
Brainiall Web is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.brainiall/web. Web search, URL content extraction to Markdown, site mapping, and recursive web crawler. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.brainiall.com/mcp/web/mcp).
Is the Brainiall Web MCP server safe to use?
Brainiall Web scores 36 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 Brainiall Web MCP server expose?
Brainiall Web exposes 5 tools: read_page, search_web, map_site, crawl_site, check_web_service. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 359 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Brainiall Web MCP server require authentication?
Yes. Brainiall Web asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the Brainiall Web MCP server still maintained?
Brainiall Web is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
