## 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**: 63/100
  - 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - 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**: 61/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 471 tokens (~157/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 81/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 33% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **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.

### 2026-10-23 (score 61)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (3)

### `search` (~227 tokens)

Search Spritefetch for CC0 2D sprite sheets and tilesets. Returns license, checksum, and slicing data. Check license fields before shipping. When nothing matches, suggestions lists filters to drop and, clearly labeled, third-party AI sprite generators (not affiliated, not CC0).

Input parameters:

- `animated` (boolean)
- `animation` (string): Animation name, e.g. run, idle, attack.
- `category` (array)
- `commercial_use` (boolean)
- `cursor` (string)
- `frame_height` (integer)
- `frame_width` (integer)
- `include` (array): Maintainer keys only.
- `license_spdx` (string): e.g. CC0-1.0
- `limit` (integer)
- `mode`
- `pack` (string): Pack id or slug.
- `perspective`
- `query` (string): Plain-language description, e.g. 'pixel-art knight run 32px'.
- `source` (string)
- `style` (array)
- `type` (array)

Output parameters:

- `degraded` (boolean)
- `next_cursor` (string|null)
- `results` (array)
- `suggestions` (array): Only when nothing matched: drop_filter items name one filter (or q) to remove; one external_generators item lists third-party AI sprite generators (not affiliated, not CC0, their own terms).
- `total` (integer)

### `get_asset` (~81 tokens)

Get the full record for one asset version: license and provenance, slicing (frames, animations, pivot) or tileset data, file URL, size, and SHA-256.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required)
- `include` (array)
- `version` (integer): Omit for latest. The response always reports the concrete version, so pin it.

### `download` (~117 tokens)

Get a verified, versioned download for one asset: the immutable file URL, its SHA-256, and the slicing data. Optionally returns the PNG inline. Verify the checksum after saving.

Input parameters:

- `format`
- `id` (string, required)
- `inline` (boolean): If true and the file is ≤ 1 MiB, also return the file as an embedded resource (base64). The server verifies the SHA-256 before returning it.
- `version` (integer): Omit for latest; the output pins the concrete version.

Output parameters:

- `attribution_required` (boolean)
- `attribution_text` (string)
- `dimensions` (object)
- `file_size_bytes` (integer)
- `file_url` (string)
- `filename` (string)
- `format`
- `id` (string)
- `inline_verified` (boolean): Present when inline=true; true means the embedded bytes matched sha256 on the server.
- `license_spdx` (string)
- `sha256` (string)
- `slicing` (object): Same object as asset.slicing.
- `verify_command` (string)
- `version` (integer)

## Common questions

### What is the Spritefetch MCP server?

Spritefetch is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.spritefetch/spritefetch. Search and download free CC0 2D sprite sheets and tilesets for games. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.spritefetch.dev/mcp).

### Is the Spritefetch MCP server safe to use?

Spritefetch scores 61 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 Spritefetch MCP server expose?

Spritefetch exposes 3 tools: search, get_asset, download. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 425 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Spritefetch MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the Spritefetch MCP server still maintained?

Spritefetch is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 24 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
