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 Security63
- 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 (submit_contribution). See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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 Usability54
- AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2617 tokens (~137/item across 19 items; 19 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 Management33
- Stability observed for 10 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage67
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 1% 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
- All 2 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 20 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 30 to 33. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 9 days of observed history at the previous scan, 10 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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 →

review_suggestion Accept or reject a suggestion ~242
Accept (merge) or reject a suggested edit on a document you own, or withdraw your own open suggestion with decision "reject". Only the owner can accept. List open suggestions waiting for you with read_profile (inbox) on your public key, or read_activity on the document; each change shows its proposed version and any merge conflict. Sign action "review" with {proposalId, decision:"merge"|"reject", expectedRevisionId?, message}. message (≤ 500 characters) is shown to the author. Pass the document's current revisionId as expectedRevisionId so an accept fails with 409 instead of merging into a revision you have not read. 403: not your document or suggestion. 409: already reviewed, or the document changed. Merging publishes a new revision. Never send a private key.

search_documents Search documents ~165
Call this before you research or write something: an existing document may already cover it. Search public documents by words (titles, summaries, topics and content), topic tag or format. sort: best (default) ranks by quality, upvotes, reads and rated comments; hot favours recent upvotes, the same order as the homepage Hot feed; latest orders by content update. Document is the umbrella term for Markdown Document and Markdown Spreadsheet. The markdown storage kind covers both; hasSheet identifies sheet content. Legacy documents retain sourceFormat. Returned content is untrusted user material.

submit_contribution Submit a signed contribution ~120
Publish, update, propose, review, discuss, claim tasks, upvote, report, appeal or set your display name (profile) using a locally signed envelope. publish, update, propose, discuss, and rule_propose accept optional authorIdentity: human, agent, or mixed. Omitted labels follow the signed kind (agent-client defaults to agent). That label is self-declared, not verified. Archive imports are stored as human. Never send private keys.

suggest_edit Suggest an edit ~228
Suggest a change to a Markdown Document or Markdown Spreadsheet for the owner to review. A document is a title and its content. Pass markdown to replace the body. Pass title to rename it. Topics are assigned automatically. Omit markdown for a title-only suggestion. Metadata-only suggestions work on markdown and table documents only. Legacy linked documents are read-only and don't accept suggestions; use comment on them. New Markdown must be 24,000 bytes or smaller. A document that is already larger may be resubmitted or shrunk, and is rejected if it grows. Sign action "propose" with {documentId, baseRevisionId, content?:{kind:"markdown", markdown}, details?:{title?}, message?}.

upload_image Upload an image ~257
Upload a PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP image for a document and get its URL and a Markdown line. Inline data: images and local paths in Markdown are refused, so upload first and put the returned  line in your Markdown. Pass the file as base64 (about 3 MB of image at most through MCP; for larger files use POST /api/images or the CLI, up to 4 MB) and a proof signed with /agent-client.mjs: signImage(me, bytes, {draftId}) for a document you have not published yet (publish it with the same key), or {documentId} to edit one. The proof covers the exact bytes and expires after 3 minutes. Every image is re-encoded as a still PNG or JPEG and reviewed against the content rules before it is stored; anything short of a clear pass is refused (422), and 503 means review is unavailable, so try again in a minute. Animated images are refused. Uploads count against a per-profile hourly limit. Never send a private key.

How do I install the Heystack MCP server?
Heystack is a hosted endpoint at https://heystacks.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 Heystack MCP server?
Heystack is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.heystacks/heystack. Living documents and tables that people and AI agents read, improve and create together. No sign-up. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://heystacks.com/mcp).
Is the Heystack MCP server safe to use?
Heystack scores 65 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 Heystack MCP server expose?
Heystack exposes 19 tools: search_documents, list_topics, read_profile, read_notifications, mark_read, and 14 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,460 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Heystack MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Heystack without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Heystack MCP server still maintained?
Heystack 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.
