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 Security74
- 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
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability73
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 630 tokens (~90/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management33
- Stability observed for 10 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage97
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 91% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 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 →
classify_face_shape Classify a face shape from four measurements ~164
Runs the same seven-rule face shape classifier as thefaceanalysis.com/face-shape-detector on four distances (any consistent unit: pixels, mm or landmark units). Returns the shape, the rule that matched and the four ratios. It does not look at photos: to measure a photo, use the widget (get_embed_snippet) or the site. Borderline faces can flip between two shapes; no accuracy figure is claimed because the reference set has no labelled face types.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cheekbone_width | number | yes | Widest point across the cheekbones |
| face_length | number | yes | Top of the forehead surface to the bottom of the chin |
| forehead_width | number | yes | Width across the temples |
| jaw_width | number | yes | Width across the jaw |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_citation How to cite the data ~37
Citation text, license (CC BY 4.0 for the aggregate numbers) and the source photo set. Use when quoting a number.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_embed_snippet Embed code for the face shape widget ~69
HTML a website owner can paste to add the free face shape finder (it measures the visitor's photo in their browser, no sign-up). Includes the visible credit link the terms ask for.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| size | string | – | compact 360px, standard 480px, wide 720px |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_face_type Describe one face, eye, lip or nose type ~67
Definition and how the type is measured from a front photo (the exact threshold rule), plus its page URL. Example: category 'face', slug 'oval'.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | yes | – |
| slug | string | yes | e.g. oval, heart, hooded, upturned |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_methodology Methodology, thresholds and validity ~77
How the numbers are made: the landmark model, every classification threshold, how the 1-10 score is built, and how it correlated with 2,513 human raters on the same faces (it did not predict them). Includes the method change history.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| include_changelog | boolean | – | Also return the dated change history. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_reference_statistics Face measurement statistics ~146
Percentiles (p10, p25, median, p75, p90, min, max) of facial measurements from 102 adult faces (49 women, 53 men) of the Face Research Lab London Set, measured with a 478-point MediaPipe landmarker. Measures: composite score, symmetry, golden ratio fit, fWHR, midface ratio, pupillary distance, canthal tilt. Aggregates only; one research set photographed in one city, so these describe these faces, not a population.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| group | string | – | all, female or male. Omit for all three. |
| measure | string | – | One measure. Omit for all. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_face_types List face, eye, lip and nose types ~70
Lists the types the site's detectors use, with slug, name, page URL and how many of the 102 reference faces each type covered. The split shows how the detector divides these faces, not how common a type is in a population.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Omit for all four categories. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
How do I install the TheFaceAnalysis MCP server?
TheFaceAnalysis is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.thefaceanalysis.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.

What is the TheFaceAnalysis MCP server?
TheFaceAnalysis is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.thefaceanalysis/face-analysis. Face shape rules and a 102-face open measurement dataset. Read-only, no photos. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.thefaceanalysis.com/mcp).
Is the TheFaceAnalysis MCP server safe to use?
TheFaceAnalysis scores 75 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 TheFaceAnalysis MCP server expose?
TheFaceAnalysis exposes 7 tools: get_reference_statistics, list_face_types, get_face_type, classify_face_shape, get_methodology, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 630 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the TheFaceAnalysis MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to TheFaceAnalysis without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the TheFaceAnalysis MCP server still maintained?
TheFaceAnalysis 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.
