Endpoint Security57
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability70
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1560 tokens (~222/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 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 Management73
  • Stability observed for 22 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
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 Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "send_test_webhook" implies "send" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail

Install

How do I install the Hookden MCP server?

Hookden is a hosted endpoint at https://hookden.pages.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 · 7 exposed · ~1,337 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
create_bin ~89

Create a new webhook capture bin. Returns a public capture_url — point any webhook (Stripe, GitHub, Slack, your own service…) at it and every request sent there (any method, any subpath, headers + raw body) is stored. Then read what arrived with list_captures, get_capture, or wait_for_capture. Anonymous bins keep requests ~24h. No auth needed.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_capture ~80

Get one captured request in full: method, path, query, every header, and the body. Binary bodies are returned base64-encoded (up to 8KB, with a URL for the raw bytes).

NameTypeReqDescription
binstringyesbin id or slug
idintegeryescapture id from list_captures / wait_for_capture

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_captures ~116

List requests captured by a bin, oldest first. Compact summaries (id, method, path, time, content-type, body size, signature status). Use get_capture for full headers/body. Pass `after` (a capture id) to only see newer captures.

NameTypeReqDescription
afterintegeronly captures with id greater than this (default 0)
binstringyesbin id (or custom slug) from create_bin
limitintegermax results, 1-50 (default 20)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

send_test_webhook ~171

Simulate a webhook delivery into a bin — no external sender or HTTP client needed. Seeds one realistic, clearly-labeled sample capture (default: a GitHub push event) and returns it in full, so you can exercise the whole loop (create_bin → send_test_webhook → list_captures / get_capture) entirely from MCP. Pass `example` to pick a provider payload from the /examples library (e.g. "stripe-payment-intent-succeeded", "slack-event-callback", "shopify-order-created"). Sample captures are marked as simulated and never count as real webhook traffic.

NameTypeReqDescription
binstringyesbin id (or custom slug) from create_bin
examplestringoptional example payload slug from /examples (default: a GitHub push event)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

set_response ~363

Configure what a bin replies to webhook senders: HTTP status, content-type, body, custom response headers, optional delay. Body and header values support {{…}} templates rendered per-request from the INCOMING delivery — {{body.challenge}}, {{query.hub.challenge}}, {{header.x-hook-secret}}, {{hmac_sha256 body.plainToken YOUR_SECRET}} — so a bin can pass provider verification handshakes with zero code: Slack URL verification (body {{body.challenge}}), Zoom CRC (JSON with the hmac_sha256 helper), Meta/WhatsApp GET echo (text/plain {{query.hub.challenge}}), Strava (JSON {"hub.challenge":"{{query.hub.challenge}}"}), Asana (response header X-Hook-Secret: {{header.x-hook-secret}}). Only the fields you pass change; everything else keeps its current value. Works on bins created via create_bin by this same client; the incoming request is still captured in full either way.

NameTypeReqDescription
binstringyesbin id (or custom slug) from create_bin
bodystringresponse body, max 10000 chars; {{…}} templates allowed
content_typestringContent-Type of the response (e.g. application/json, text/plain)
delay_msintegerartificial response delay in milliseconds, 0-10000 (for testing sender timeouts/retries)
headersobjectcustom response headers as name→value (max 10; values may use {{…}} templates). Pass {} to clear. Hop-by-hop/security headers (set-cookie, location, strict-transport-security…) are rejected.
statusintegerHTTP status to respond with, 100-599 (bins default to 200)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verify_signature ~386

Verify a webhook signature against a secret — 25 provider-exact schemes plus a generic HMAC mode, the same engine that computes ✓/✗ badges on captures. Covers HMAC-SHA256 (GitHub, Stripe, Svix/Standard Webhooks, Shopify-style base64, URL-signing Square/HubSpot/Trello…), ECDSA (SendGrid), RSA (Kick) and HMAC-MD5 (Patreon). Pass the scheme, the secret, the delivery's headers, and the BYTE-EXACT raw body (body_base64 for binary). The secret is used only for this one in-memory computation — never stored or logged. No bin needed. If verification fails, the #1 cause is a re-serialized body: point the real webhook at a capture bin (create_bin) to get the true raw bytes first.

NameTypeReqDescription
bodystringraw request body, byte-exact as the provider sent it (not re-serialized!)
body_base64stringalternative to `body` for binary payloads: base64 of the raw body bytes
headersobjectthe delivery's HTTP headers — at least the signature/timestamp headers; names are case-insensitive
methodstringHTTP method of the delivery (hubspot v3 signs it; default POST)
schemestringyessignature scheme (usually the provider name); "hmac" = generic HMAC over the raw body
secretstringyessigning secret or key exactly as the provider shows it (sendgrid/kick: the PUBLIC verification key)
signature_headerstringscheme "hmac" only: which header carries the signature (default x-signature)
urlstringfull delivery URL — REQUIRED for square, hubspot and trello (the URL is part of the signed string)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

wait_for_capture ~132

Block until the next request arrives at a bin (or a timeout passes), then return it in full. Ideal flow: create_bin → configure the webhook sender → trigger it → wait_for_capture. If `after_id` is omitted, waits for the next capture after "now". Returns timed_out:true instead of erroring when nothing arrives.

NameTypeReqDescription
after_idintegerreturn the first capture with id greater than this; default = latest id at call time
binstringyesbin id or slug
timeout_secondsinteger1-45 seconds to wait (default 20)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

Common questions

What is the Hookden MCP server?

Hookden is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.pages.hookden/hookden. Webhook capture bins for agents: get a URL, wait for webhooks, set replies, verify signatures. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://hookden.pages.dev/mcp).

Is the Hookden MCP server safe to use?

Hookden scores 71 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 Hookden MCP server expose?

Hookden exposes 7 tools: create_bin, list_captures, get_capture, wait_for_capture, send_test_webhook, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,337 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Hookden MCP server require authentication?

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

Is the Hookden MCP server still maintained?

Hookden 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.
