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 Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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 Usability63
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 317 tokens (~79/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage67
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
Unverified: 1 category
A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

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 →
get_entry Get entry ~73
Fetch one public catalog entry by slug. Includes source_url, the install command, copied_at when the catalog recorded the day the command was copied, compatible tools, license when known, and the day the entry was added. URLs include utm_source=mcp and utm_medium=tool.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_categories List categories ~34
List catalog categories with slug, name, and url. The url includes utm_source=mcp and utm_medium=tool.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.

list_new List new entries ~67
List entries added within the last days (default 7, maximum 90), newest first. Each row has name, slug, type, category, summary, url, and added. The url includes utm_source=mcp and utm_medium=tool.

How do I install the SwiftSkills MCP server?
SwiftSkills is a hosted endpoint at https://swiftskills.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.

What is the SwiftSkills MCP server?
SwiftSkills is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.swiftskills/catalog. Search a curated catalog of agent skills, MCP servers and rules for Swift, SwiftUI, Xcode and iOS. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://swiftskills.dev/mcp).
Is the SwiftSkills MCP server safe to use?
SwiftSkills scores 69 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 SwiftSkills MCP server expose?
SwiftSkills exposes 4 tools: search_entries, get_entry, list_categories, list_new. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 290 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the SwiftSkills MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to SwiftSkills without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the SwiftSkills MCP server still maintained?
SwiftSkills is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 17 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
