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 Security83
  • The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
  • No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
  • 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 Usability89
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 6530 tokens (~107/item across 61 items; 60 tools + 1 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
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 60 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 62 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
  • Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

MCP tools · 60 exposed · ~6,304 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
team_locations ~91

Read the physical location details linked to a team's additional-info profile (street, city, state, zip), if one has been set. There is currently no self-service way to create a new location through this API — location rows are set up separately, then referenced by id via `team_additional_info`'s `location_id`.

NameTypeReqDescription
team_idintegeryesId of the team.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

team_matchmaking_teams ~122

AI-ranked list of teams one free (teamless) participant could join, within the same event. Callable by the free-agent listing's own owner, or an admin of the event. Use `event_free_agents` or `event_join_as_free_agent` to get a `free_member_id`. Throttled — do not call it in a tight loop.

NameTypeReqDescription
free_member_idintegeryesId of the free-agent listing.
localestring–Language for the generated explanations, e.g. 'en' or 'ru'.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

team_members ~90

List a team's current members with their role and caption. Use the row `id` (a membership id, not a user id) with `team_assign_role` or `team_remove_member`.

NameTypeReqDescription
pageinteger–Page number, starting at 1.
page_sizeinteger–Rows per page (max 100).
team_idintegeryesId of the team.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

team_open_roles ~267

List the positions teams are looking to fill ("we need a designer"). Visibility is limited to what the signed-in account can already see: their own team's open roles, or — if they organise the event — every team's. It is not a public cross-team browse for a stranger looking for any team: that is `team_seeking_members`, which reads the find-a-team page's own list (pair it with `event_free_agents` and `team_matchmaking_teams`). Filter with `team_id` for one team, or `event_slug` to see everything the caller can see at that event. `team_id` is answered exactly. `event_slug` (and the unfiltered form) is not: the underlying endpoint narrows by one team at a time and has no event filter, so a very large event can return a `note` saying rows were left unscanned. Ask per team when that matters.

NameTypeReqDescription
event_slugstring–Only open roles at this event (within what the caller can see).
pageinteger–Page number, starting at 1.
page_sizeinteger–Rows per page (max 100).
team_idinteger–Only this team's open roles.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

team_posts ~113

List a team's public updates ("twits") — the short build-log posts a team publishes as it works, in the order the server returns them. Use it to catch up on what a team has been doing, or to check what has already been posted before writing another update with `team_post`.

NameTypeReqDescription
pageinteger–Page number, starting at 1.
page_sizeinteger–Rows per page (max 100).
team_idintegeryesId of the team.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

team_readiness ~44

Check whether a team has marked itself ready to present, plus whether it is banned or currently accessible for judging.

NameTypeReqDescription
team_idintegeryesId of the team.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

team_roles ~78

List the roles a team has defined (e.g. "Frontend", "Designer"), which members can be assigned via `team_assign_role`.

NameTypeReqDescription
pageinteger–Page number, starting at 1.
page_sizeinteger–Rows per page (max 100).
team_idintegeryesId of the team.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

team_seeking_members ~217

Browse the teams of one event that are advertising open positions — the public "who is recruiting" list behind the find-a-team page, readable by anyone, including someone who has not joined the event yet. This is the tool for a person looking for a team. `team_open_roles` is the other direction: it lists open positions the caller already has access to (their own teams', or every team's if they organise the event) and shows a stranger nothing. Each row here carries the team's public profile plus its `open_roles`. Follow up with `team_request_join`, or list yourself with `event_join_as_free_agent` if nothing fits.

NameTypeReqDescription
event_slugstringyesSlug of the event.
pageinteger–Page number, starting at 1.
page_sizeinteger–Rows per page (max 100).
searchstring–Free-text filter over team name and description (at most 200 characters, 10 words).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

tech_list ~61

List technologies (tech-stack tags) that projects and teams can be labelled with, e.g. "React", "PostgreSQL".

NameTypeReqDescription
pageinteger–Page number.
page_sizeinteger–Results per page (max 100).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

whoami ~128

Who is signed in, what roles they hold, and where. Call this first in any new conversation. It returns the account, the OAuth permissions this connection was granted, and — crucially — the list of events, teams and companies the user belongs to *with the role they hold in each one* (organizer, judge, participant, team lead, free agent, builder, speaker, company admin, platform admin). Use it to decide which tools apply before calling anything else, and to resolve "my event" / "our team" into a concrete slug or id.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

Install

How do I install the ClusterHack MCP server?

ClusterHack is a hosted endpoint at https://clusterhack.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.

Common questions

What is the ClusterHack MCP server?

ClusterHack is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.clusterhack/clusterhack. Run hackathons end to end: events, teams, submissions, judging and winners. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://clusterhack.dev/mcp/).

Is the ClusterHack MCP server safe to use?

ClusterHack scores 90 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 ClusterHack MCP server expose?

ClusterHack exposes 60 tools: event_roles, list_api_endpoints, list_capabilities, search, server_info, and 55 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 6,304 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the ClusterHack MCP server require authentication?

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

Is the ClusterHack MCP server still maintained?

ClusterHack is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What did VerifyMCP test on the ClusterHack MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on ClusterHack, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 9 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
