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 Security60
- 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 (create_application). See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
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 5068 tokens (~58/item across 87 items; 27 tools + 60 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management13
- Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100

How do I install the OpenFile MCP server?
OpenFile is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.joinopenfile.com/, 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.

claude mcp add --transport http com-joinopenfile-openfile 'https://mcp.joinopenfile.com/'
What is the OpenFile MCP server?
OpenFile is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.joinopenfile/openfile. Form U.S. companies and file U.S. trademarks. The agent prepares the filing and the owner signs it. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.joinopenfile.com).
Is the OpenFile MCP server safe to use?
OpenFile scores 66 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 OpenFile MCP server expose?
OpenFile exposes 27 tools: search_docs, read_doc, plan_task, get_pricing, quote_application, and 22 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,120 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the OpenFile MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to OpenFile without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the OpenFile MCP server still maintained?
OpenFile 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.
