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 Security46
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 3 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- 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 Usability72
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 647 tokens (~215/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 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
How do I install the Upshift MCP server?
Upshift is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.upshiftsites.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.

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 →
upshift_quote Price a job ~194
Return Upshift's real prices. job_type 'mcp' covers MCP server work (registry listing, live tool preview, spec upgrade, full build); 'website' covers website templates and done-for-you launches. These are the actual listed prices, not estimates. Use when someone asks what a job costs, what a tier includes, or how long it takes. The figures are generated from the live store catalog, so this cannot quote a price that is not sold; it makes no network call and the same arguments always return the same answer.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_type | string | yes | 'mcp' for MCP server work, 'website' for website work. |
| scope | string | – | Optional free text about the situation, used to pick which tier to lead with and to explain why, e.g. "we have a server on stdio" or "roofing company, no site". Never changes the prices themselves. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| jobType | string | yes | – |
| note | string | yes | – |
| offers | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
upshift_site_audit Audit a website for machine legibility ~158
Fetch a live website and report how legible it is to search engines and AI assistants: structured data (JSON-LD), llms.txt, robots.txt, title and meta description, headings, image alt text, HTTPS and document weight. Returns findings with severity and a 0-100 score. Use this to check a real site before recommending changes to it. Makes one outbound request to the URL given, so it only sees what a fetch can establish — never rendering or browser metrics. Refuses private, loopback and link-local addresses, and reports a page as unreachable rather than scoring the error body.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | Absolute http(s) URL of the page to audit, e.g. https://example.com |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| findings | array | yes | – |
| reachable | boolean | yes | – |
| score | number | yes | – |
| structuredData | object | yes | – |
| summary | string | yes | – |
| url | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
upshift_template_match Find the website template for a trade ~164
Given an industry or trade (and optionally what the business needs), rank Upshift's 14 website template lines and return the best three, each with a live demo link, the store link, real prices, and the words that made it match. Use when someone asks what a website for a given trade should look like or cost. Answers from a catalog held in the server, so it makes no network call and returns no matches — rather than a forced one — when the trade is outside the 14 lines.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| industry | string | yes | The trade or industry, e.g. "roofing", "collision repair", "med spa". |
| needs | string | – | Optional: what the business needs, e.g. "online booking, before/after photos". |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| matches | array | yes | – |
| query | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
What is the Upshift MCP server?
Upshift is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.upshiftsites/mcp. Audit a site's structured data and llms.txt, match a trade to a template, and quote real prices. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.upshiftsites.com/mcp).
Is the Upshift MCP server safe to use?
Upshift scores 73 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 Upshift MCP server expose?
Upshift exposes 3 tools: upshift_site_audit, upshift_template_match, upshift_quote. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 516 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Upshift MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Upshift without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Upshift MCP server still maintained?
Upshift 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.
