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 2026-11-05. - **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**: 69/100 - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name). - AI-judged instruction clarity (good). - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3832 tokens (~273/item across 14 items; 12 tools + 2 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. - **Stability & Change Management**: 30/100 - Stability observed for 9 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses. - **Tool Coverage**: 92/100 - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name). - 73% of tool parameters carry a description. - Structured output schemas are declared (67% of tools); any adoption earns full credit. - **Tool Safety**: 100/100 - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured. - We read all 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation. - An AI judge read all 14 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. - Supports UI / widget rendering. ## Install ### How do I install the CruiseHops MCP server? CruiseHops is a hosted endpoint at https://cruisehops.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. ### Claude ```bash claude mcp add --transport http com-cruisehops-cruisehops 'https://cruisehops.com/mcp' ``` ### Cursor ```json { "mcpServers": { "com-cruisehops-cruisehops": { "url": "https://cruisehops.com/mcp" } } } ``` ### VS Code ```json { "servers": { "com-cruisehops-cruisehops": { "type": "http", "url": "https://cruisehops.com/mcp" } } } ``` ### Codex ```toml [mcp_servers.com-cruisehops-cruisehops] url = "https://cruisehops.com/mcp" ``` ### opencode ```json { "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "mcp": { "com-cruisehops-cruisehops": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://cruisehops.com/mcp", "enabled": true } } } ``` ### OpenClaw ```bash openclaw mcp add com-cruisehops-cruisehops --url 'https://cruisehops.com/mcp' --transport streamable-http ``` ### Hermes ```yaml mcp_servers: com-cruisehops-cruisehops: url: "https://cruisehops.com/mcp" ``` ### Netclaw ```json { "McpServers": { "com-cruisehops-cruisehops": { "Transport": "http", "Url": "https://cruisehops.com/mcp" } } } ``` ### Vellum ```bash assistant mcp add com-cruisehops-cruisehops -t streamable-http -u 'https://cruisehops.com/mcp' ``` ### Other ```json { "mcpServers": { "com-cruisehops-cruisehops": { "type": "http", "url": "https://cruisehops.com/mcp" } } } ``` The mcpServers block is a cross-client convention.

Omit portId to let the user choose a port without calling Viator. Supply a supported local portId and optional visit date and activity keywords q to show matching experiences. This makes a fresh on-demand search; use the returned data as the current result. Preserve requested filters. Do not fetch details for every result. Users can change ports, dates, keywords and pages, inspect one selected experience and open Viator booking links. Suggestions are not verified to fit time ashore; no live availability. Use only on an experience request, never automatically for every cruise search. Input parameters: - `date` (string) - `page` (integer) - `portId` (string) - `q` (string) ### `list_excursion_ports` (~39 tokens) Explore excursion ports List local cruise ports and whether excursion searches are supported. No Viator product request. Use the returned port ID for find_port_excursions. ### `find_port_excursions` (~154 tokens) Find port excursions Search Viator on demand only when the user asks for activities or excursions. Use a port ID from list_excursion_ports or get_sailing itinerary.portId. Pass the port visit date, not the cruise departure date. Optional q searches activity keywords such as snorkeling or food tours within that port; preserve it across pagination. Returns suggestions near the port, NOT verified time-ashore matches or live availability. Prices are indicative, may differ for the date/party, and are not cruise fares. Preserve complete affiliate URLs. No reviews or protected unique content. No widget. Input parameters: - `date` (string) - `page` (integer) - `portId` (string, required) - `q` (string) ### `get_excursion` (~66 tokens) Explore an excursion Fetch details only for a Viator product the user selected from find_port_excursions. Returns allowed product content and an affiliate booking URL; no reviews, protected content or live availability. Verify meeting point, return timing and availability on Viator. Input parameters: - `productCode` (string, required) ## Diagnostics Captured diagnostic sections: TLS, DNSSEC, Authorisation, Transports.

CruiseHops is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.cruisehops/cruisehops. Search Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruises, compare fare history and find Viator port experiences. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://cruisehops.com/mcp). ### Is the CruiseHops MCP server safe to use? CruiseHops scores 76 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 CruiseHops MCP server expose? CruiseHops exposes 12 tools: search_cruises, suggest_cruise_terms, list_departures, get_sailing, get_cabin_price_history, and 7 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,434 tokens of context every time the server is loaded. ### Does the CruiseHops MCP server require authentication? No. We connected to CruiseHops without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address. ### Is the CruiseHops MCP server still maintained? CruiseHops is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced. ## Links - Remote endpoint: https://cruisehops.com/mcp - Website: https://cruisehops.com/integrations - Changelog RSS feed: https://verifymcp.io/servers/com-cruisehops-cruisehops/cruisehops.xml - Changelog JSON feed: https://verifymcp.io/servers/com-cruisehops-cruisehops/cruisehops.json - HTML version of this page: https://verifymcp.io/servers/com-cruisehops-cruisehops/cruisehops
