Available components
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 Security89
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, but the challenge carries no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability83
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 145 tokens (~72/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management43
- Stability observed for 13 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 2 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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the Perspect MCP server?
Perspect is a hosted endpoint at https://perspect-ai-backend.onrender.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.

Background: What to check on a remote MCP endpoint →
DNSSEC insecure

Authentication Challenged, unverified
The endpoint asked for a token, but we could not retrieve and validate the RFC 9728 metadata that tells a client how to obtain one.

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 →
list_personas ~29
List the expert personas available to sit on a Perspect AI panel (id, name, discipline).
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
run_debate ~116
Convene a panel of expert personas to debate a topic, idea, or decision from conflicting angles, then return the debate, a contradiction map (where the experts disagree), and a synthesized briefing. Optionally pass specific persona ids (see list_personas); omit to auto-select a fitting panel. Takes ~30-60s.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| personas | array | – | Optional persona ids to use (2 to 5). Omit to auto-select. |
| topic | string | yes | The topic, question, idea, or decision to explore. |

No examples provided.
What is the Perspect MCP server?
Perspect is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.tryperspect/perspect. Convene a panel of expert AI personas to debate any decision from every side. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://perspect-ai-backend.onrender.com/mcp).
Is the Perspect MCP server safe to use?
Perspect scores 85 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 Perspect MCP server expose?
Perspect exposes 2 tools: list_personas, run_debate. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 145 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Perspect MCP server require authentication?
Yes. Perspect asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the Perspect MCP server still maintained?
Perspect is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
