REMOTE · MCPLOOKUP.COM · 2 COMPONENTS · SCANNED SEP 21
Look up independent trust ratings and security, maintenance, and adoption evidence for MCP servers.
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 Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- 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 Usability74
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 548 tokens (~182/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage96
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 88% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 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
How do I install the MCPLookup MCP server?
MCPLookup is a hosted endpoint at https://mcplookup.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 →
find_servers Find MCP servers ~195
Find a compact, trust-aware shortlist for a task or capability when no particular MCP server or product is known. Search by free text or MCPLookup's normalized capability taxonomy, with optional filters. Free text returns a reviewed identity-only slate when available; otherwise results are explicitly labelled catalog matches, and the two evidence lanes are never mixed. Returns at most five results with no pagination. A selected exact server name can be passed to resolve_server for reviewed identity context and connection options; named artifacts fit resolve_server directly.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability | string | – | Normalized capability category; required when query is omitted. |
| industry | string | – | Optional normalized industry category. |
| kind | string | – | Optional deployment kind. |
| limit | integer | – | Number of results; hard maximum 5. |
| order_by | string | – | – |
| query | string | – | Free-text discovery query when no exact server is known, such as 'postgres database'. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filters | object | – | – |
| has_more | boolean | yes | – |
| identity | – | yes | – |
| order_by | string | yes | – |
| servers | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
resolve_server Resolve an MCP server ~123
Resolve a named MCP server, vendor, product, package, repository, Registry identifier, or endpoint to a canonical MCPLookup identity. Returns at most five reviewed candidates with query-relative identity and publisher explanations, a compact trust assessment, and current connection options. This is the best fit when a particular artifact or product is known; find_servers covers open-ended capability discovery, while trust_lookup returns the full current evidence record for an exact canonical name.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| identifier | string | yes | Exact package identifier, endpoint URL, canonical name, or complete organization, product, or service name. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| has_more | boolean | yes | – |
| identity | – | yes | – |
| matches | array | yes | – |
| status | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
trust_lookup MCPLookup trust lookup ~117
Return MCPLookup's complete current trust record for one exact canonical MCP server name. Includes the verdict, Trust Index band and 0–100 score with confidence, coarse safety, maintenance, adoption, and provenance bands, coverage, freshness, public evidence, and citation. This fits trust questions and evidence review after identity is known; resolve_server handles ambiguous names or coordinates. Current state only—no history or safety certification.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| server_name | string | yes | Exact MCPLookup server name, e.g. 'io.github.owner/name'. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| record | – | yes | – |
| recovery | – | yes | – |
| requested_server_name | string | yes | – |
| status | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
