## 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 2026-09-28.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 10 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - 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**: 87/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1204 tokens (~100/item across 12 items; 10 tools + 2 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 20/100
  - Stability observed for 6 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 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 12 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.

### 2026-09-22 (score 67)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (10)

### `phpray_sites` (~42 tokens)

List the PHP sites this token can see, with requests, p95 latency and error rate. Start here: every other tool needs a site_id from this list.

### `phpray_overview` (~83 tokens)

Headline numbers for one site over a time window: requests, errors, p50/p95/p99 latency, database share and N+1 count. Use this before digging into anything else.

Input parameters:

- `site_id` (string, required): Site id from phpray_sites.
- `window_minutes` (integer): How far back to look, in minutes. Default 60.

### `phpray_slow_pages` (~87 tokens)

The slowest URLs on a site, with request counts and p95, from the request timeseries. Answers "which page is slow".

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): How many URLs to return. Default 25.
- `site_id` (string, required): Site id from phpray_sites.
- `window_minutes` (integer): How far back to look. Default 1440.

### `phpray_slow_queries` (~88 tokens)

SQL fingerprints ordered by time spent, with call counts and the caller when known. Literals are already masked. Answers "which query is slow".

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): How many queries to return. Default 20.
- `site_id` (string, required): Site id from phpray_sites.
- `window_minutes` (integer): How far back to look. Default 1440.

### `phpray_components` (~89 tokens)

Time attributed to each plugin, theme or vendor package on profiled requests. Answers "which plugin is slowing the site down". Empty when function profiling is off.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): How many components to return. Default 20.
- `site_id` (string, required): Site id from phpray_sites.
- `window_minutes` (integer): How far back to look. Default 1440.

### `phpray_errors` (~102 tokens)

Requests that failed on a site: PHP errors and warnings with file and line where PHP raised one, plus 5xx responses that carry no PHP error. Pass an id to phpray_trace to see what one of them did.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): How many to return. Default 20.
- `site_id` (string, required): Site id from phpray_sites.
- `window_minutes` (integer): How far back to look. Default 1440.

### `phpray_traces` (~114 tokens)

Recent requests for a site. Filter with min_ms and status to find the bad ones, then pass an id to phpray_trace.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): How many to return. Default 50.
- `min_ms` (integer): Only requests slower than this.
- `site_id` (string, required): Site id from phpray_sites.
- `status` (integer): Only this HTTP status, e.g. 500.
- `window_minutes` (integer): How far back to look. Default 1440.

### `phpray_trace` (~60 tokens)

One request in full: wall time split into PHP, database and outbound HTTP, every query, every external call, errors, and the component breakdown when the request was profiled.

Input parameters:

- `trace_id` (string, required): Trace id from phpray_traces.

### `phpray_compare` (~137 tokens)

Two time ranges for one site side by side. Use it to check whether a deployment, a plugin update or a configuration change made things better or worse.

Input parameters:

- `from_a` (integer): Start of range A (the earlier one), unix seconds. Without any range: the day before yesterday's 24 h against the last 24 h.
- `from_b` (integer): Start of range B, unix seconds.
- `site_id` (string, required): Site id from phpray_sites.
- `to_a` (integer): End of range A, unix seconds.
- `to_b` (integer): End of range B, unix seconds.

### `phpray_alerts` (~26 tokens)

Alerts currently firing across every site this token can see, worst overrun first.

## Common questions

### What is the dev.phpray/phpray MCP server?

dev.phpray/phpray is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.phpray/phpray. Ask an agent why a PHP site is slow: every request with its SQL, HTTP calls, errors and N+1. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://phpray.dev/mcp).

### Is the dev.phpray/phpray MCP server safe to use?

dev.phpray/phpray scores 70 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 dev.phpray/phpray MCP server expose?

dev.phpray/phpray exposes 10 tools: phpray_sites, phpray_overview, phpray_slow_pages, phpray_slow_queries, phpray_components, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 828 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the dev.phpray/phpray MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the dev.phpray/phpray MCP server still maintained?

dev.phpray/phpray is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 28 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
