## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-04.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 377 tokens (~75/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 93/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 80% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Install

### How do I install the Canopy documentation MCP server?

Canopy documentation is a hosted endpoint at https://canopy-io.com/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.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-11-04 (score 75, +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.

### 2026-11-02 (score 74, +1)

- [functional improvement] Stability: unverified → 0.03

### 2026-11-01 (score 73)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `list_surfaces` (~72 tokens)

List every page of the Developer Console and Admin Workspace

Every left-nav page of both signed-in applications: the application, the menu path in the labels on screen, the capability that opens it, what must be selected first, and the guide that walks through it. The same data as /ai/ui-map.json.

Input parameters:

- `application` (string): Limit to one application.

### `find_surface` (~75 tokens)

Find where something is done in the dashboards

Given what someone wants to do ("rotate a webhook secret", "invite an administrator", "why can't I see Hierarchy"), return the pages where it happens, ranked, each with its menu path, the capability that opens it, and its guide.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): What the person wants to do, in their words.

### `get_guide` (~85 tokens)

Read a guide

A docs page as markdown: for a dashboard guide, the menu path, the exact controls to click in order, and the reasons a control may be missing. Pass the guide URL or path from find_surface or list_surfaces, or a surface id such as console.roles.

Input parameters:

- `page` (string, required): A docs URL, a /docs/... path, or a surface id.

### `explain_capability` (~82 tokens)

Explain an administrator capability

What a capability such as env_roles.manage or billing.manage lets someone do, and which pages it opens. The answer to "why can't I see this button": a page shows only for someone holding one of its listed capabilities, and its write actions only for the matching manage capability.

Input parameters:

- `capability` (string, required): A capability key, e.g. env_roles.view.

### `search_api` (~63 tokens)

Find the API operation behind a task

Search the published OpenAPI documents by words from the task or the resource. Returns method, path, operation id, and the reference page for each match. Reference pages live at /docs/api-reference/{operationId}; never guess those URLs.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required)

### Is the Canopy documentation MCP server safe to use?

Canopy documentation scores 75 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 Canopy documentation MCP server expose?

Canopy documentation exposes 5 tools: list_surfaces, find_surface, get_guide, explain_capability, search_api. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 377 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Canopy documentation MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Canopy documentation without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the Canopy documentation MCP server still maintained?

Canopy documentation is still listed as active in the MCP registry. 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.
