## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 89/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, but the challenge carries no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token.
  - 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**: 71/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 506 tokens (~72/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 80/100
  - Stability observed for 24 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 67/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% 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 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 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.

## MCP tools (7)

### `scan_url` (~58 tokens)

Scan a public web page and report its link-preview (Open Graph / Twitter Card) metadata, previews per platform, and issues with fix suggestions. Use it to answer 'why does my link preview look wrong?'.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required)

### `generate_og_image` (~102 tokens)

Render a 1200x630 Open Graph image from a template id (see list_templates) and text params such as title and subtitle. Returns the permanent image URL to put in og:image, and whether it was already cached. Optional exp (Unix seconds, paid plans) makes the signed URL expire; leave it out for an og:image URL.

Input parameters:

- `exp` (integer)
- `params` (object)
- `templateId` (string, required)

### `create_template_from_url` (~80 tokens)

Use AI to design a new OG image template from a website's brand (logo, colors, fonts) taken from a URL. Returns the chosen layoutId (a built-in template id usable with generate_og_image), the variables to pass, and the extracted brand kit. Counts against the plan's AI quota.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required)

### `list_templates` (~45 tokens)

List the OG image templates the workspace can render (built-in and custom) with id, name, version and dimensions. Call this before generate_og_image to pick a templateId.

### `create_short_link` (~87 tokens)

Create a short link with its own link preview. Optional custom slug, and optional A/B variants (each with a title, description, imageUrl or templateId) to test which preview gets more clicks. Returns id, shortUrl and variants. Use the id with get_link_stats.

Input parameters:

- `destination` (string, required)
- `slug` (string)
- `variants` (array)

### `get_link_stats` (~71 tokens)

Get click analytics for a short link by id (from create_short_link): totals plus breakdowns by day, country, device, browser and referrer. Optional from/to dates (YYYY-MM-DD).

Input parameters:

- `from` (string)
- `linkId` (string, required)
- `to` (string)

### `refresh_preview` (~63 tokens)

Force social platforms to re-fetch a page's link preview after you changed its OG tags or image: bumps the og:image cache-buster, re-scrapes Facebook, and returns the LinkedIn Post Inspector link and the X cache note.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required)

## Common questions

### What is the Shareglow MCP server?

Shareglow is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.getshareglow/mcp. Shareglow MCP server: scan link previews, generate OG images, short links and stats. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.getshareglow.com/mcp).

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

Shareglow scores 85 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 Shareglow MCP server expose?

Shareglow exposes 7 tools: scan_url, generate_og_image, create_template_from_url, list_templates, create_short_link, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 506 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Shareglow MCP server require authentication?

Yes. Shareglow asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

### Is the Shareglow MCP server still maintained?

Shareglow 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.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Shareglow MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on Shareglow, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 9 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
