Trust breakdown (7 categories)

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 2 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
Schema Quality & AI Usability75
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 459 tokens (~229/item across 2 items; 2 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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 3 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
Install

How do I install the io.github.cyanheads/cyanheads-mcp-server server?

io.github.cyanheads/cyanheads-mcp-server is a hosted endpoint at https://cyanheads.caseyjhand.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.

MCP tools · 2 exposed · ~362 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
cyanheads_describe_entry ~206

Return the description and install snippets for a named tool or server. For tools: the description and the server it belongs to. For servers: local (stdio, via npx) install snippets for every published server, plus remote (HTTP) connection snippets when a hosted endpoint exists — for every supported client, or one client via the client parameter.

NameTypeReqDescription
clientstringReturn install snippets for this client only (both local and remote transports when available). Omit to return snippets for all supported clients.
kindstringWhether name refers to a tool or server. Omit to auto-detect: names containing underscores are treated as tools; names containing hyphens are treated as servers.
namestringyesTool name (snake_case, e.g. "earthquake_search") or server name (kebab-case, e.g. "earthquake-mcp-server"). 1-64 characters. Use cyanheads_search_catalog to discover valid names.
NameTypeReqDescription
errorobjectPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
resultThe resolved entry — either a tool detail or a server detail depending on the resolved kind.

No examples provided.

cyanheads_search_catalog ~156

Search fleet tools and servers by natural-language description. Returns ranked matches with brief summaries and the server each tool belongs to. Use scope "servers" to find which server handles a workflow; use the default scope "tools" to find specific tools.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystringFilter by catalog category. Omit to search all categories.
limitintegerMaximum number of results to return (1-20). Default 5.
querystringyesNatural language search query. Describe what you want to accomplish, a workflow, or a capability area. 1-500 characters.
scopestringWhat to search. "tools" returns individual tool matches; "servers" returns server-level matches.
NameTypeReqDescription
effectiveQuerystringThe query that was searched.
errorobjectPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
noticestringGuidance when no results matched — e.g. how to broaden the query or try a different scope. Absent on successful result pages.
resultsarrayRanked matches, best first.
scopestringScope that was searched.
serversarrayRoll-up of distinct servers across the full match set, before the limit slice. Present only for scope "tools". Ordered by topScore desc (name-tiebroken); capped at 10. Use serversTotal to see how man…

io.github.cyanheads/cyanheads-mcp-server scores 82 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.cyanheads/cyanheads-mcp-server server expose?

io.github.cyanheads/cyanheads-mcp-server exposes 2 tools: cyanheads_search_catalog, cyanheads_describe_entry. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 362 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the io.github.cyanheads/cyanheads-mcp-server server require authentication?

No. We connected to io.github.cyanheads/cyanheads-mcp-server without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
