## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-22.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 5 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 316 tokens (~63/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 40/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Install

### How do I install the PartsTable MCP server?

PartsTable is a hosted endpoint at https://partstable.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.

### Claude

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http com-partstable-partstable 'https://partstable.com/mcp'
```

### Cursor

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "com-partstable-partstable": {
      "url": "https://partstable.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "com-partstable-partstable": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://partstable.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Codex

```toml
[mcp_servers.com-partstable-partstable]
url = "https://partstable.com/mcp"
```

### opencode

```json
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "com-partstable-partstable": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://partstable.com/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}
```

### OpenClaw

```bash
openclaw mcp add com-partstable-partstable --url 'https://partstable.com/mcp' --transport streamable-http
```

### Hermes

```yaml
mcp_servers:
  com-partstable-partstable:
    url: "https://partstable.com/mcp"
```

### Netclaw

```json
{
  "McpServers": {
    "com-partstable-partstable": {
      "Transport": "http",
      "Url": "https://partstable.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Vellum

```bash
assistant mcp add com-partstable-partstable -t streamable-http -u 'https://partstable.com/mcp'
```

### Other

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "com-partstable-partstable": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://partstable.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

The mcpServers block is a cross-client convention. Remote transports vary, so check your client's docs.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-10-22 (score 64)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `normalize-pn` (~73 tokens)

Normalize an IT hardware part number into its canonical form. Handles HPE (B21/001/spare), Dell (400-XXXX, DP/N), and IBM/Lenovo (FRU) formats. Critical for deduplication and accurate lookups.

Input parameters:

- `partNumber` (string, required): Part number is required

### `validate-pn` (~72 tokens)

Validate a part number and check whether it exists in the PartsTable catalog (26,182,530 distinct part numbers, measured 2026-10-22), from government, OEM, and commercial authority sources. Returns structural validity and catalog existence.

Input parameters:

- `partNumber` (string, required): The part number to validate

### `get-part` (~61 tokens)

Get the canonical record for a part: identity, manufacturer, description, category, lifecycle, and government classification (NSN/FSC) when present. Sourced from the PartsTable canonical read model.

Input parameters:

- `partNumber` (string, required): Part number to look up

### `get-substitutes` (~60 tokens)

Find substitute / equivalent / cross-referenced part numbers in the PartsTable cross-reference graph (2,001,002 cross-references, measured 2026-10-18).

Input parameters:

- `partNumber` (string, required): Part number to find substitutes for

### `search-parts` (~50 tokens)

Look up a batch of part numbers (max 25) against the PartsTable catalog. Returns per-part identity summary and whether each exists.

Input parameters:

- `partNumbers` (array, required): Part numbers to look up

## Common questions

### What is the PartsTable MCP server?

PartsTable is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.partstable/partstable. Calibrated IT hardware parts reference: PN normalization, search, cross-references, cited facts. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://partstable.com/mcp).

### Is the PartsTable MCP server safe to use?

PartsTable scores 64 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 PartsTable MCP server expose?

PartsTable exposes 5 tools: normalize-pn, validate-pn, get-part, get-substitutes, search-parts. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 316 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the PartsTable MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to PartsTable without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the PartsTable MCP server still maintained?

PartsTable is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 22 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
