How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security89

Schema Quality & AI Usability72
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 435 tokens (~145/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail

Stability & Change Management97
- Stability observed for 29 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage83
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 40% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.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 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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 →
compare_demo ~56
Run a zero-argument synthetic comparison against bundled fixtures. Deterministically returns exit_class='substantive' (the fixtures contain a Term-clause change). Use to confirm the server is wired up end-to-end without constructing a fixture.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No examples provided.
compare_files ~171
Compare two contract documents and return clause-aware drift classification. Returns the same structured report as `compare --json`. Substantive drift returns a successful response with exit_class='substantive'; it is NOT an MCP error.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| base | object | yes | – |
| candidate | object | yes | – |
| ignore_clauses | array | – | Same semantics as only_clauses but exclusion. Composes with only_clauses (ignore runs after). |
| include_human_report | boolean | – | Also return the human-readable report as a second text content block. |
| only_clauses | array | – | Case-insensitive substring patterns matched against normalized clause titles; keep only matches. |
| strict | boolean | – | Upgrade typographic drift to substantive. |
| strict_cosmetic | boolean | – | Upgrade cosmetic drift to substantive. |

compare_with_negotiation ~208
Compare a candidate document against the agreed text in an nda-review-cli negotiation.json. Three-tier resolution (status: converged|signed_off|finalized → per-round agreed: true → per-round clause_status all 'agreed'). Returns the structured report with `base.negotiation_resolution` indicating which signal produced the agreed text. NO_AGREED_ROUND surfaces as an MCP error (a precondition failure, not drift).

io.github.DrBaher/compare-cli-mcp scores 89 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 6 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 io.github.DrBaher/compare-cli-mcp server expose?
io.github.DrBaher/compare-cli-mcp exposes 3 tools: compare_files, compare_with_negotiation, compare_demo. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 435 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the io.github.DrBaher/compare-cli-mcp server still maintained?
io.github.DrBaher/compare-cli-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the io.github.DrBaher/compare-cli-mcp server under?
io.github.DrBaher/compare-cli-mcp declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

VerifyMCP ran 15 checks on io.github.DrBaher/compare-cli-mcp, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 11 more. One item could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about io.github.DrBaher/compare-cli-mcp: Security disclosure. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
