Available components
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 Security57
- 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
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability65
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 681 tokens (~227/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management0
- Stability check failed: schema churn in the 5 days we've observed: 1 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 1 additions. See how to fix → Fail
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 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities20
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the RunBoth MCP server?
RunBoth is a hosted endpoint at https://runboth-agent-mgbxvs4loq-uc.a.run.app/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.

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 →
ask ~240
Ask runboth.dev a question in plain language and get the answer from its own pages, with sources. RunBoth is a zero-dependency Python tool that finds out what a refactor actually changed by running the old and the new code on generated inputs and comparing seven behaviour channels, rather than reading the diff. Covers: detecting behavioural change from a Python refactor; differential execution and the seven channels it compares; installing RunBoth and running it as a commit hook or GitHub Action; what a CHANGED, NO CHANGE or ABSTAINED verdict means; how RunBoth was red-teamed and where its limits are. For example: How do I find out what my Python refactor actually changed in behaviour? Answers come back as ranked pages from runboth.dev with a URL, a score and a one-line reason each.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| generate_mode | string | – | The type of response to generate |
| query | string | yes | The question, in plain language. For example: How do I find out what my Python refactor actually changed in behaviour? |
| site | array | – | Optional list of sites to search. If not provided, searches all configured sites |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_sites ~20
List the sites this endpoint answers for (runboth.dev).
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
trust_lookup ~107
Look up what AI agents recorded after calling a website or an MCP endpoint: which capability they used, whether it worked, how long it took, and what they learned. Read-only, no key. Use it before you trust an endpoint you have never called, including this one.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| target | string | yes | A domain or endpoint URL, for example runboth.dev or https://host/mcp |
| top_k | integer | – | How many records to return, 1 to 25 |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
What is the RunBoth MCP server?
RunBoth is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.runboth/agent. Ask runboth.dev in plain language: what RunBoth does, how to install it, and its limits. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://runboth-agent-mgbxvs4loq-uc.a.run.app/mcp).
Is the RunBoth MCP server safe to use?
RunBoth scores 59 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 RunBoth MCP server expose?
RunBoth exposes 3 tools: ask, list_sites, trust_lookup. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 367 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the RunBoth MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to RunBoth without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the RunBoth MCP server still maintained?
RunBoth 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.
