MCP tools · 34 exposed · ~4,039 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 →

Tool Tokens
activate_tool_domain ~87

transition_issue ~266

Transition a Jira issue to a new status. Use get_transitions first to find a valid transitionId. Before calling Jira this tool checks the transition's required screen fields are either present in `fields` or already set on the issue, and refuses with the missing names and allowed values if not (skipFieldValidation:true bypasses the check). See skill://core-issues.

NameTypeReqDescription

update_issue ~257

Update fields on a Jira issue. Only fields on the issue's Edit screen can be set — call get_issue_edit_meta to list them (with valueSource and allowedValues). Before calling Jira this tool checks every supplied field is settable and refuses with a remedy if not: resolution must go through transition_issue's fields argument, and any other absent field has to be added to the Edit screen by a Jira administrator. skipFieldValidation:true bypasses the check. See skill://core-issues.

com.moosejudge/alces-mcp scores 88 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 com.moosejudge/alces-mcp server expose?

com.moosejudge/alces-mcp exposes 34 tools: get_api_references, list_tool_domains, activate_tool_domain, deactivate_tool_domain, get_issue, and 29 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 4,039 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the com.moosejudge/alces-mcp server still maintained?

com.moosejudge/alces-mcp 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.
