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 3 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 Usability85
  • 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
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 478 tokens (~119/item across 4 items; 3 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
  • 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities73
  • Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
  • Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass
Install

How do I install the codefmt MCP server?

codefmt is a hosted endpoint at https://codefmt.dev/api/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 · 3 exposed · ~357 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
ask_codefmt ~120

Ask a natural-language question about codefmt: formatting and linting JavaScript, Python, and HubL for automation platforms (Zapier, n8n, Pipedream, Make, HubSpot). Returns a grounded answer drawn from codefmt's own content with cited source URLs and a confidence score (0-1, how much of the question the answer covers, weighted toward its rarer terms); off-topic or too-weakly-matched questions are refused rather than guessed.

NameTypeReqDescription
querystringyesThe natural-language question about codefmt.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

format_code ~132

Format and lint JavaScript, Python, or HubL code for Zapier, n8n, Pipedream, Make, or HubSpot. Wraps the source in each platform's runtime shell before formatting so top-level await, bare return, and injected globals don't break the formatter. Returns formatted code plus lint diagnostics.

NameTypeReqDescription
codestringyesSource code to format (≤50KB).
languagestringDefaults to javascript. zapier, n8n, pipedream, make, and hubspot support python; hubl does not.
platformstringyesTarget automation platform.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

format_json ~105

Format (pretty-print or minify) a JSON document, optionally sorting object keys. Number literals are preserved exactly (64-bit IDs safe); parse errors report the exact line and column.

NameTypeReqDescription
indentstringIndentation: '2' or '4' spaces, 'tab', or 'minify'. Defaults to '2'.
jsonstringyesThe JSON text to format.
sort_keysbooleanSort object keys alphabetically. Defaults to false.

No output schema declared.

Common questions

What is the codefmt MCP server?

codefmt is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.codefmt/codefmt. Format/lint JS, Python, HubL for automation platforms. Tools: format_code, format_json, ask_codefmt. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://codefmt.dev/api/mcp).

Is the codefmt MCP server safe to use?

codefmt scores 83 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 codefmt MCP server expose?

codefmt exposes 3 tools: format_code, ask_codefmt, format_json. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 357 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the codefmt MCP server require authentication?

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

Is the codefmt MCP server still maintained?

codefmt is still listed as active 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.
