Category Security
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 Usability85
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 1486 tokens (~45/item across 33 items; 6 tools + 27 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management47
- Stability observed for 14 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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 8 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

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 →
check_payment_page Free payment page check ~144
Runs ServerScan's free one-off check of a payment or checkout page: TLS, security headers, the HTTP to HTTPS redirect, which scripts load and from where, and whether third-party scripts carry an integrity hash (PCI DSS 6.4.3 and 11.6.1). Returns six yes/no/not-yet-known answers and what to fix first. It fetches the page once. Any one site can be checked only a few times a day, and a repeat within 15 minutes returns the stored answer.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | The payment page address, for example https://shop.example.com/checkout. A bare domain is read as https. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
do_i_need_an_asv_scan Does this merchant need quarterly ASV scans? ~95
Says whether a merchant's PCI DSS self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) requires quarterly external scans by an Approved Scanning Vendor, under PCI DSS v4.0.1, and what to scan. Pass the SAQ type, or "unsure" to get every SAQ with who it is for.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| saq_type | string | yes | The merchant's SAQ, or "unsure". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
fix_failed_scan Fix a failed PCI ASV scan ~128
Explains a failed PCI ASV scan finding and how to fix it, for the ten most common causes: certificates, old TLS, unpatched software, open ports, default credentials, version banners, missing headers, insecure remote access, DNS and mail, and injection flaws. Pass the finding text from the scan report, or an issue name, or neither to list all ten.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| finding | string | – | The finding as the scan report words it, for example "TLS Version 1.0 Protocol Detection". |
| issue | string | – | The category, when the caller already knows it. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_pricing ServerScan pricing ~53
Current prices for ServerScan PCI ASV scanning (per domain or IP address), payment page monitoring and penetration testing of networks and web applications, read live from the store, with what each plan includes and the refund terms.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_guides Search ServerScan guides ~111
Searches ServerScan's published guides on PCI DSS requirements, ASV scanning, scan failures, payment page monitoring and penetration testing. Returns up to five matching guides with a short excerpt and a link each. Use it to answer a PCI question from our own pages, then cite the link.

|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | – | asv_scanning only: the domain or IPv4 address to scan, filled into the signup form. A URL is cut down to its host. |
| include_monitoring | boolean | – | asv_scanning only: add payment page monitoring to the scan plan. |
| product | string | yes | What to buy. penetration_test tests a network by IP address; web_app_penetration_test tests web applications and their APIs while logged in. |
| term | string | – | Billing term. Defaults to one_year, the cheaper per quarter. |

How do I install the ServerScan MCP server?
ServerScan is a hosted endpoint at https://www.serverscan.com/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.

What is the ServerScan MCP server?
ServerScan is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.serverscan/mcp. PCI ASV scan prices, SAQ check, free payment page check, PCI guides and scan-failure fixes. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://www.serverscan.com/api/mcp).
Is the ServerScan MCP server safe to use?
ServerScan scores 82 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 ServerScan MCP server expose?
ServerScan exposes 6 tools: get_pricing, do_i_need_an_asv_scan, check_payment_page, start_order, search_guides, fix_failed_scan. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 710 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the ServerScan MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to ServerScan without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the ServerScan MCP server still maintained?
ServerScan 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.
