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 Security66
- 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 1 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 is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability60
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1063 tokens (~1063/item across 1 items; 1 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 Coverage67
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 1 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 Compuute MCP Security Scanner server?
Compuute MCP Security Scanner is a hosted endpoint at https://scan.compuute.se/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.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 93 to 97. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 28 days of observed history at the previous scan, 29 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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 →
scan_mcp_server ~969
Scan a public GitHub MCP-server repository for security issues. Clones the repo (shallow, <60s, <200 MB), runs compuute-scan v0.6.2 in static analysis mode (no code execution from the target), and returns a structured report with severity counts, a 0-100 score, and the 10 most severe findings. WHEN TO USE: - Before connecting to an unknown MCP server discovered via Anthropic Registry, Smithery, mcp.so, or a Discord recommendation. - Before installing a third-party MCP-server package into a production pipeline. - As part of an agent's pre-commit / pre-deploy due-diligence step when adding new dependencies. - As one input to a multi-source trust evaluation (combine with publisher reputation, package install count, last-update recency). WHEN NOT TO USE: - For private repos. Use the on-prem CLI instead: `npx compuute-scan ./path-to-private-repo` - For deep exploitability assessment of a specific code path. This is pattern matching, not dataflow analysis. Book a manual L2-L4 audit at https://compuute.se/audit for that depth. - For non-GitHub hosts (GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted). v1 supports github.com only. - For repos > 200 MB or clone time > 60s. The endpoint returns a 413 or 504 in those cases — fall back to local CLI. EXPECTED RESPONSE TIME: - Median: ~1-2 seconds for small repos (<100 files). - p99: ~10 seconds for medium repos. - Hard timeout at clone=60s, scan=120s combined. EXPECTED COST: - Free tier in MVP. Future Pro tier may charge per-scan or per-month. DATA FRESHNESS: - Scanner version is reported in response.scanner.version. - L1 rule set freshness reflects compuute-scan releases — see github.com/Compuute/compuute-scan/CHANGELOG.md for the latest CVE and threat-intel response timeline.
