Trust breakdown (7 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security100
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • 0 of 3 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency45
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 Management93
  • Stability observed for 28 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
  • 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 runs locally as an npm package, launched with npx -y upshift-mcp. 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 · 3 exposed · ~516 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 →

Tool Tokens
upshift_quote ~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.

NameTypeReqDescription
job_typestringyes'mcp' for MCP server work, 'website' for website work.
scopestringOptional 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.

No examples provided.

upshift_site_audit ~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.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyesAbsolute http(s) URL of the page to audit, e.g. https://example.com

upshift_template_match ~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.

NameTypeReqDescription

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.

Is the Upshift MCP server still maintained?

Upshift is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 22 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
