## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-24.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 79/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 200 tokens (~66/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 80/100
  - Stability observed for 24 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Install

### How do I install the past.dev MCP server?

past.dev is a hosted endpoint at https://past.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.

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http dev-past-past 'https://past.dev/mcp'
```

### Cursor

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dev-past-past": {
      "url": "https://past.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "dev-past-past": {

  }
}
```

### Codex

```toml
[mcp_servers.dev-past-past]
url = "https://past.dev/mcp"
```

  }
}
```

### OpenClaw

```bash
openclaw mcp add dev-past-past --url 'https://past.dev/mcp' --transport streamable-http
```

### Hermes

```yaml
mcp_servers:
  dev-past-past:
    url: "https://past.dev/mcp"
```

### Netclaw

  }
}
```

### Vellum

```bash
assistant mcp add dev-past-past -t streamable-http -u 'https://past.dev/mcp'
```

### Other

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dev-past-past": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://past.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

The mcpServers block is a cross-client convention. Remote transports vary, so check your client's docs.
