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
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 80 tokens (~80/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
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 1 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
Install

How do I install the Exif Strip MCP server?

Exif Strip is a hosted endpoint at https://exif-strip.david-cyr.workers.dev/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 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

MCP tools · 1 exposed · ~80 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
run ~80

Strips EXIF, XMP, IPTC and GPS metadata from JPEG and PNG images in one call, with optional ICC profile removal, then re-verifies the output bytes and returns an exact report of what was found and removed — unlike common strippers that only touch the EXIF segment and leave XMP/IPTC intact.

Common questions

What is the Exif Strip MCP server?

Exif Strip is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Dawaxwx/exif-strip. Strips EXIF, XMP, IPTC and GPS metadata from JPEG and PNG images in one call, with optional ICC p... This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://exif-strip.david-cyr.workers.dev/mcp).

Is the Exif Strip MCP server safe to use?

Exif Strip scores 60 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 Exif Strip MCP server expose?

Exif Strip exposes 1 tool: run. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 80 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Exif Strip MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Exif Strip without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the Exif Strip MCP server still maintained?

Exif Strip is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 28 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
