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 Security63
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability70
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 2004 tokens (~55/item across 36 items; 36 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management70
  • Stability observed for 21 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage67
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 1% 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 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "harbor_pay_status" implies "pay" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 37 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 MCP Harbor server?

MCP Harbor is a hosted endpoint at https://rustyonmars.com/harbor-api/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 · 36 exposed · ~1,859 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 →

Common questions

What is the MCP Harbor server?

MCP Harbor is listed in the public MCP registry as com.rustyonmars/harbor. Open Swarm. Streamable HTTP MCP. Search then arrive. Live cap 8. No account. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://rustyonmars.com/harbor-api/mcp).

Is the MCP Harbor server safe to use?

MCP Harbor scores 71 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 MCP Harbor server expose?

MCP Harbor exposes 36 tools: harbor_health, berth_list, berth_status, harbor_gate, berth_register, and 31 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,859 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the MCP Harbor server require authentication?

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

Is the MCP Harbor server still maintained?

MCP Harbor is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
