  - Tool/resource definitions use about 166 tokens (~55/item across 3 items; 2 tools + 1 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).

  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 50% of tool parameters carry a description.

  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.

  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Common questions

### What is the Everything Search MCP server?

Everything Search MCP is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.EcRal5t/everything-search-mcp. Fast file search on Windows with Everything. Find files, browse folders, and compare sizes. This page covers its npm package (everything-mcp-server).

### Is the Everything Search MCP server safe to use?

Everything Search MCP scores 68 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 Everything Search MCP server expose?

Everything Search MCP exposes 2 tools: everything_search, everything_status. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 106 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Everything Search MCP server still maintained?

Everything Search MCP is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 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 Everything Search MCP server under?

Everything Search 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.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Everything Search MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 15 checks on Everything Search 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 Everything Search MCP: Stability. One category scores 0 for that reason, because we only credit what we can confirm. 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.
