Available components
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 not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 35 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- 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 Usability81
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 2311 tokens (~64/item across 36 items; 35 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management10
- Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 35 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 37 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
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass
How do I install the Hydracept MCP server?
Hydracept is a hosted endpoint at https://api.hydracept.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.

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 →

hydracept_promote_adapter_alias Promote adapter alias ~106
Explicitly move a semantic alias to a new registered adapter/weight by creating a new immutable alias version. Omitted project/environment arguments inherit the authenticated workspace binding. Existing recipe bindings do not move. An alias serving as an active generation default must remain route-compatible unless the default is cleared first.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| adapter_id | string | yes | – |

hydracept_register_model_adapter Register model adapter ~245
Register a reusable project LoRA without generating or spending money. source_kind must be provider_ref, huggingface, or hydracept_artifact. For huggingface, source_ref is namespace/repository; source_file_path may identify an explicit public .safetensors file. If file path is omitted the repository is cataloged but remains non-executable. When a file path is supplied, Hydracept validates it and freezes the Hub commit. For hydracept_artifact, source_ref is a project artifactId and Hydracept binds its immutable content hash. For provider_ref, source_provider is required. Omitted project/environment arguments inherit the authenticated workspace binding. Inspect sourceHealth and routingReadiness.routeCompatible in the result before quoting generation.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| source_revision | string | – | – |
| trigger_words | – | – | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
hydracept_revalidate_model_adapter Revalidate model adapter source ~97
Re-check the frozen source identity for a registered adapter without generating or spending money. For Hugging Face this checks the already-pinned commit and file; it never advances a branch or tag. For Hydracept artifacts it rechecks immutable content and safetensors structure. Provider-native refs are opaque and remain declared. Use this when sourceHealth is stale, unavailable, or invalid.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

hydracept_set_adapter_default Set project adapter default ~88
Set a route-compatible semantic alias preselected for future image.generate.v1 work. Omitted project/environment arguments inherit the authenticated workspace binding. The default is not silently injected by the API; agents still send the resolved adapters[] selection.

|---|---|---|---|
| refresh | boolean | – | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
hydracept_submit_job ~86
Submit a capability job. Omit quoteId; the API seals pricing at admission. Eligible durable text jobs use deferred processing at 50% of standard token rates. Returns nextAction. 'input' is an alias for 'body'.

What is the Hydracept MCP server?
Hydracept is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.hydracept/hydracept. Execution control plane for agents: capabilities, durable jobs, budgets, receipts, and BYOK. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.hydracept.com/mcp).
Is the Hydracept MCP server safe to use?
Hydracept scores 67 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 Hydracept MCP server expose?
Hydracept exposes 35 tools: hydracept_status, hydracept_capabilities, resolve_capability, hydracept_quote_capability, estimate_capability, and 30 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,206 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Hydracept MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Hydracept without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Hydracept MCP server still maintained?
Hydracept is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 29 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
