Schema Quality & AI Usability78
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 918 tokens (~83/item across 11 items; 11 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass

  • No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage95
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 86% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 3 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "reply_to_message" implies "send" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail

Install

How do I install the com.machineinbox/machine-inbox MCP server?

com.machineinbox/machine-inbox is a hosted endpoint at https://machineinbox.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.

MCP tools · 11 exposed · ~875 tokens

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 →
