Endpoint Security74
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability62
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 503 tokens (~100/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 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 Coverage71
  • 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
  • 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 5 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

  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
Install

How do I install the MESSORA MCP server?

MESSORA is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.messora.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 · 5 exposed · ~503 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 MESSORA MCP server?

MESSORA is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.messora/messora. Scrape, crawl and search the web for AI agents via MCP. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.messora.dev/mcp).

Is the MESSORA MCP server safe to use?

MESSORA scores 80 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 MESSORA MCP server expose?

MESSORA exposes 5 tools: scrape_url, start_crawl, start_search, get_job, get_usage. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 503 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the MESSORA MCP server require authentication?

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

Is the MESSORA MCP server still maintained?

MESSORA is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 22 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
