Endpoint Security57
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability66
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1006 tokens (~167/item across 6 items; 6 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
Stability & Change Management90
  • Stability observed for 27 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage81
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 42% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

Install

How do I install the Cycle Intelligence MCP server?

Cycle Intelligence is a hosted endpoint at https://edge.cycle-platform.com/v1/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 →

Tool Tokens
check_dpp_requirements ~135

Use this tool when a company or user asks WHAT the EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) requires, WHEN it becomes mandatory, which ESPR/AGEC/French milestones apply to textile or fashion products, or whether the DPP is already obligatory. Returns the verified regulatory timeline (dates as of today), the mandatory data fields a textile DPP needs, and honest notes on what is in force vs pending delegated acts. Deterministic, no account needed. Informational, not legal advice.

NameTypeReqDescription
sectorstring–Optional sector hint (textile, fashion, beauty, fmcg). Default textile.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

create_data_carrier ~195

Use this tool to generate the printable data carrier (QR content) of a twin: a GS1 Digital Link URL (Sunrise 2027 standard) if you pass a valid GTIN, or a serialized twin URL fallback without one. The URL resolves to the product's live twin the moment it is created - it is connected, not a loose QR. Invalid GTINs are rejected before printing. Requires an organisation API key. OPTIONAL: pass allocation={channel|retailer, shipment?, region?, units?} to link the serial to its intended retail channel (channel-aware serialization: future scans of that unit resolve their channel, always labelled INFERRED).

NameTypeReqDescription
allocationobject–optional intended retail channel: {channel, retailer, shipment, region, units}
gtinstring––
product_idstring––
serialstring––
skustring––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

create_dpp ~114

Use this tool to issue the Digital Product Passport of a twin created with create_product_twin. Cycle validates conformance FIRST (ESPR mandatory field set) and REFUSES to create an incomplete passport - if fields are missing it returns exactly which ones. OUTPUT: the DPP dataset + its public URL. EU registry submission happens the moment the EU opens it for textile (Cycle is integrated and in approval as service provider). Requires an organisation API key.

NameTypeReqDescription
product_idstring––
skustring––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

create_product_twin ~109

Use this tool when an organisation wants to CREATE live Digital Product Twins in Cycle from its product data (after validating with validate_dpp_readiness). INPUT: array of products (same flexible shape as validate_dpp_readiness). OUTPUT: per product, a persistent id and a LIVE twin URL (scannable product page), plus DPP readiness and missing fields. Requires an organisation API key (Authorization: Bearer). Up to 100 products per call.

NameTypeReqDescription
productsarrayyes–

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

validate_dpp_readiness ~210

Use this tool when a company needs to know whether its product catalogue is READY for the EU Digital Product Passport (DPP/ESPR): pass an array of products (any reasonable JSON shape: name, sku, description, brand, composition/material, country of origin, supplier, care instructions...) and get a rule-based readiness score 0-100 per product plus the exact missing fields, and an aggregate with the single field that unlocks the most products. INPUT: array of product objects (flexible keys). OUTPUT: per-product score, ready flag, missing field labels; aggregate with top_missing_fields and unlock_hint. Deterministic rule-based validation (ESPR mandatory field set). Up to 200 products per call. No account needed.

NameTypeReqDescription
productsarrayyesProducts to validate. Flexible keys accepted: name/title, sku, description, brand/vendor, composition/material/fabric, country/origin/manufacturing_country, supplier, care/care_instructions, complian…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

validate_gs1_identifier ~162

Use this tool to verify a GTIN/EAN barcode number (check digit, GS1 mod-10) or a GS1 Digital Link URL (the QR standard behind Sunrise 2027 retail QR codes and DPP data carriers). Returns whether the identifier is valid, the normalised GTIN-14, and the exact error if not. Use it before printing labels or QR codes so they conform to GS1. Deterministic, no account needed.

NameTypeReqDescription
digital_linkstring–GS1 Digital Link URL to validate (e.g. https://id.example.com/01/09506000134352/21/SER123).
gtinstring–GTIN/EAN-8/12/13/14 to validate.

No output schema declared.

Common questions

What is the Cycle Intelligence MCP server?

Cycle Intelligence is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.cycle-platform/cycle-intelligence. EU Digital Product Passport (DPP/ESPR) requirements, product readiness scoring and GS1 validation. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://edge.cycle-platform.com/v1/mcp).

Is the Cycle Intelligence MCP server safe to use?

Cycle Intelligence scores 74 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 Cycle Intelligence MCP server expose?

Cycle Intelligence exposes 6 tools: check_dpp_requirements, validate_dpp_readiness, validate_gs1_identifier, create_product_twin, create_dpp, create_data_carrier. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 925 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Cycle Intelligence MCP server require authentication?

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

Is the Cycle Intelligence MCP server still maintained?

Cycle Intelligence is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
