Schema Quality & AI Usability65
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2459 tokens (~245/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail

  • No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage99
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 98% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 10 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Install

How do I install the cloro MCP server?

cloro is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.cloro.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.

MCP tools · 10 exposed · ~2,459 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 →

Common questions

What is the cloro MCP server?

cloro is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.cloro/cloro. Scrape AI answer engines and Google Search/News with country and state-level geo-targeting. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.cloro.dev/mcp).

Is the cloro MCP server safe to use?

cloro scores 89 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 cloro MCP server expose?

cloro exposes 10 tools: scrape_chatgpt, scrape_gemini, scrape_copilot, scrape_perplexity, scrape_grok, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,459 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the cloro MCP server require authentication?

Yes. cloro asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

Is the cloro MCP server still maintained?

cloro is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 27 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
