## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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.

  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 6/100
  - Repository check failed: no source repository is declared.
  - Build provenance not yet verified.
  - Licence could not be checked: the licence is shipped as a file inside the package, not declared as a standard (SPDX) licence identifier, so we cannot tell whether it is OSI-approved.
  - Actively maintained (last published 8 days ago).

## Common questions

### What is the SqlCertForge MCP server?

SqlCertForge is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.detentpoint/sqlcertforge. SQL Server and SSRS TLS certificate binding, rotation and audit. Read-only tools free. This page covers its NuGet package (DetentPoint.SqlCertForge.Mcp).

### Is the SqlCertForge MCP server safe to use?

SqlCertForge scores 66 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 SqlCertForge MCP server expose?

SqlCertForge exposes 22 tools: test_rs_https_endpoint, test_rs_cert_binding, set_sql_endpoint_cert_authentication, set_rs_cert_binding, register_sql_column_master_key, and 17 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,913 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the SqlCertForge MCP server still maintained?

SqlCertForge 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.
