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 Security0
  • Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
  • Known CVEs could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM, so there is no dependency list to read. Publishing one would let us assess it.Unverified
  • Install-script risk not yet assessed.Unverified
  • Dependency health could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM, so there is no dependency list to read. Publishing one would let us assess it.Unverified
Provenance & Transparency19
Schema Quality & AI Usability72
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 1408 tokens (~70/item across 20 items; 20 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management90
  • Stability observed for 27 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage77
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 21% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
  • 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 20 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 20 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

Unverified: 1 category

A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

Install

How do I install the io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase server?

io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase runs locally as a container image, launched with docker run --rm -i docker.io/couchbaseecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase:0.8.0. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 3 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 20 exposed · ~1,408 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
explain_sql_plus_plus_query ~88

Generate and evaluate an EXPLAIN plan for a SQL++ query. It provides information about the execution plan for the query. The EXPLAIN statement is run in the specified scope in the specified bucket. It returns query metadata along with an extracted plan and plan evaluation.

list_indexes ~205

List indexes in the cluster with optional filtering by bucket, scope, collection, and index name. Filters must be provided hierarchically: scope requires bucket, collection requires both, index requires all three. Set ``return_raw_index_stats=True`` to get the unprocessed source row for each index. Each result contains: name, definition (CREATE INDEX statement), status, isPrimary, bucket, scope, collection, lastScanTime. If a required field is missing, the entry contains warning and raw_index_stats instead. Source depends on cluster version: v8+ queries ``system:indexes`` via the query service (RBAC-scoped — the connected user sees only indexes on keyspaces they can access); older clusters fall back to the admin-level Index Service REST API ``/getIndexStatus``.

run_sql_plus_plus_query ~121

Run a SQL++ query on a scope and return the results as a list of JSON objects. The query will be run on the specified scope in the specified bucket. The query should use collection names directly without bucket/scope prefixes, as the scope context is automatically set. Example: query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 18" # Incorrect: "SELECT * FROM bucket.scope.users WHERE age > 18"

If bucket name is not provided, it will not try to connect to the bucket specified in the MCP server settings. Returns connection status and basic cluster information.

NameTypeReqDescription

Common questions

What is the io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase server?

io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase. Couchbase Model Context Protocol Server to interact with Couchbase clusters. This page covers its container image (docker.io/couchbaseecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase:0.8.0).

Is the io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase server safe to use?

io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase scores 46 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 io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase server expose?

io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase exposes 20 tools: get_buckets_in_cluster, get_server_configuration_status, test_cluster_connection, get_scopes_and_collections_in_bucket, get_collections_in_scope, and 15 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,408 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase server still maintained?

io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase is marked deprecated in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase server under?

io.github.Couchbase-Ecosystem/mcp-server-couchbase declares the Apache-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
