Endpoint Security74
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability65
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 764 tokens (~764/item across 1 items; 1 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 Management50
  • Stability observed for 15 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • 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 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 2 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
Install

How do I install the SSL Certificate Check MCP server?

SSL Certificate Check is a hosted endpoint at https://powmcp.com/ssl-certificate-check/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 · 1 exposed · ~277 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
ssl_check ~277

Opens its own TLS handshakes to one public host with openssl, using the URL's explicit port or 443 by default, and reports what they establish: which of TLS 1.3, TLS 1.2, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0 and SSLv3 the server accepts, a protocol-support grade, and the certificate the server actually serves (subject, issuer, covered hostnames, hostname match, and validity dates). Reach for it on padlock, HTTPS, 'Not Secure', certificate-expiry and wrong-hostname questions, and to inspect which certificate is served after a renewal on the probed endpoint; this does not verify every load-balanced node. It does not fetch the page or establish whether plain HTTP is actually served or redirected, and it is not a browser trust decision: no chain-of-trust build, no revocation check, no cipher-suite inspection. Measured 0.05-1.5 seconds against real hosts; each probe is cut off at 12 seconds.

Common questions

What is the SSL Certificate Check MCP server?

SSL Certificate Check is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.powmcp/ssl-certificate-check. Inspect one endpoint's served certificate, expiry, hostname coverage, and accepted TLS versions. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://powmcp.com/ssl-certificate-check/mcp).

Is the SSL Certificate Check MCP server safe to use?

SSL Certificate Check scores 76 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 SSL Certificate Check MCP server expose?

SSL Certificate Check exposes 1 tool: ssl_check. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 277 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the SSL Certificate Check MCP server require authentication?

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

Is the SSL Certificate Check MCP server still maintained?

SSL Certificate Check is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
