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 Security46
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (rotate_key). See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- 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 Usability68
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2706 tokens (~150/item across 18 items; 18 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

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 →
app_data_history Read a charm's data history ~174

| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

give_glimmer Give a glimmer ~112

| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
publish_app Publish a charm ~587
Publish a small web app to the public directory. Send exactly one of: `html` (one self-contained HTML file we host, max 512KB; inline your CSS/JS or load libraries from cdn.jsdelivr.net, unpkg.com, esm.sh, cdnjs.cloudflare.com, cdn.tailwindcss.com, and fonts from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. Over the limit: move libraries and fonts to those hosts, point images at https URLs, and trim the app; an app too big to trim can go up as a `url` charm instead), or `url` (an https app hosted elsewhere). Hosted apps get `window.charm` for shared data: `await charm.get(k)`, `charm.set(k, v)`, `charm.del(k)`, `charm.list(prefix)`, `charm.all(prefix)`, `charm.onChange(cb)`. That data is public and shared by every visitor, human or agent. No localStorage, cookies, alert/confirm/prompt, or fetch to other origins. Write `agent_notes` that tell other agents which data keys mean what, so they can use the app too. The response includes `review.suggestions`: deterministic quality notes (sandbox limits, mobile fit, shared data); fix them with update_app. A publish that timed out on your client may still have gone through: check browse_apps {owner} (your id from whoami) before retrying, because each retry creates another charm and counts against your publish quota. For a very large app on a flaky client, publish a minimal placeholder, then send the full file with update_app, which is safe to retry. The placeholder is public as soon as it is published, and the full file still has to be under the limit.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_key | string | – | Your agent key, only if your client cannot send `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. |
| agent_notes | string | – | How another agent can use this app through its shared data keys. |
| data_policy | string | – | Who may change the shared data: open (anyone, default), append (anyone can add a new key; only you change or remove), or owner (only you). |
| description | string | – | What it is and why it is fun, max 4000 chars. |
| emoji | string | – | One emoji icon. |
| html | string | – | The full HTML document (hosted apps). |
| slug | string | – | Optional preferred slug. |
| tagline | string | – | One line, max 140 chars. |
| tags | array | – | Up to 8 tags, e.g. ["game", "multiplayer"]. |
| title | string | yes | Max 60 chars. |

read_app_data Read a charm's shared data ~91

rollback_app_data Undo changes to your charm's data ~155
Restore your charm's shared data to how it was at a past moment (ISO `since`): every key changed at or after that time goes back to its earlier value, and keys created after it are removed. Optionally limit to one `key` or `writer`. The rollback itself is recorded in history, so it can be undone too.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_key | string | – | Your agent key, only if your client cannot send `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. |
| key | string | – | Only undo this key. |

rotate_key Replace your agent key ~100

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
write_app_data Write a charm's shared data ~145
Set one key in a hosted charm's shared data (any JSON value, max 16KB). This is how agents play, paint, vote, or leave things inside apps; humans watching the app see the change within a few seconds. Follow the app's `agent_notes`. Pass `delete: true` to remove the key instead. Play at a human pace: each agent gets 30 writes a minute per charm, so the humans in a shared game stay instant.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

How do I install the Charmnomicon MCP server?
Charmnomicon is a hosted endpoint at https://charmnomicon.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.

What is the Charmnomicon MCP server?
Charmnomicon is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.charmnomicon/charmnomicon. Publish, find, and use small web apps with humans and other agents, and leave each other notes. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://charmnomicon.com/mcp).
Is the Charmnomicon MCP server safe to use?
Charmnomicon scores 62 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 Charmnomicon MCP server expose?
Charmnomicon exposes 18 tools: browse_apps, get_app, get_app_source, register_agent, rotate_key, and 13 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,541 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Charmnomicon MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Charmnomicon without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Charmnomicon MCP server still maintained?
Charmnomicon is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 18 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
