## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-06.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 0/100
  - No malware scan is available for this kind of package: the supply-chain vendors we use do not cover it. This is a permanent gap in our coverage, not a finding about the package.
  - Known CVEs could not be checked: we found no dependency list to check in this bundle: either it runs a compiled binary, whose bundled manifests we do not read, or none of the package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml or uv.lock files it ships for its runtime declares a dependency we can read (a requirements.txt that only points at a setup.py project, a local path, or a nested requirements file we cannot follow counts as none).
  - Install-script risk not yet assessed.
  - Dependency health could not be checked: we found no dependency list to check in this bundle: either it runs a compiled binary, whose bundled manifests we do not read, or none of the package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml or uv.lock files it ships for its runtime declares a dependency we can read (a requirements.txt that only points at a setup.py project, a local path, or a nested requirements file we cannot follow counts as none).
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 32/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - License check failed: the license (Proprietary) isn't a recognized OSI-approved license.
  - Actively maintained (last published 19 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 7965 tokens (~72/item across 110 items; 110 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 67/100
  - Stability observed for 20 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 88/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 4 of 8 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "nvm_uninstall" implies "uninstall" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default.
  - An AI judge read all 111 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 20/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; 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.

## Install

### How do I install the EnvKit MCP server?

EnvKit ships as an MCPB bundle, a single file you download and open in an MCP host that supports MCPB bundles, such as Claude Desktop. The host reads the launch command from the bundle's own manifest, so there is no command to copy. Before opening it, check the file's SHA-256 matches the one the MCP registry declares for it, 47c45be8c6eab6370a50c7b57c25c0990233e9b76b4c676ecbd38daa7c43362a; the commands to do that are on this page. If it does not match, do not open it.

## MCP tools (110)

### `help` (~130 tokens)

Answer "how do I / where is / can I …" questions about USING EnvKit itself — features, where each setting lives, and step-by-step how-tos (e.g. change the default editor → Settings → Startup; add a custom service version; enable a database admin UI; put tools on PATH). Read-only. Call this for ANY question about the app's UI / features / settings, optionally with a `topic` keyword.

Input parameters:

- `topic` (string): optional keyword to focus on, e.g. "editor", "php", "path", "ssl", "database", "cron"

### `status` (~57 tokens)

FULL EnvKit status: services, sites, SSL trust, port conflicts, and the whole bundled catalog with every installable version. Heavy — prefer status_live for routine checks; call this only when you need catalog/SSL/port-conflict detail.

### `status_live` (~50 tokens)

Fast runtime snapshot: running services, sites, ports — the same cheap poll the dashboard uses (no cert checks, no port-conflict scan, no catalog). Prefer this over `status` for routine checks.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): service name

### `repair_service` (~64 tokens)

Auto-repair a failed service (regenerate config, recreate dir, clear stale pid; with killConflicting also free its port) and retry start.

Input parameters:

- `killConflicting` (boolean): also stop the process holding the port
- `name` (string, required): service name

### `list_logs` (~53 tokens)

### `create_wordpress_site` (~180 tokens)

Create a WordPress site: downloads WordPress, creates its MySQL database and writes wp-config.php (needs PHP + MySQL installed). Pass admin_user + admin_password + admin_email (and optionally title) to finish the install too, so /wp-admin logs in immediately; otherwise the user completes the setup wizard in the browser.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): project folder name

### `prepare_codeigniter_site` (~117 tokens)

Create a database on a specific engine. The engine must be running.

Input parameters:

- `engine` (string, required): 'mysql' | 'postgres' | 'mongodb'

- `name` (string, required): database name

### `start_mysql_version` (~88 tokens)

Start one installed MySQL/MariaDB version. The active version is the main server; any other runs alongside it on its own port (reported as `mysql-<version>` in status; the port goes in the project .env as DB_PORT) and comes back when EnvKit restarts.

Input parameters:

- `version` (string, required): full version, e.g. 5.7.44

### `stop_mysql_version` (~54 tokens)

Stop one MySQL/MariaDB version. Stopping the active version stops the main server; stopping another keeps its port reserved.

- `version` (string): version to remove (default: the whole service, every installed version)

### `cron_list` (~55 tokens)

List scheduled tasks (cron jobs). Read-only. A job with `site` belongs to that site; `siteState` other than "active" (disabled / asleep / missing = site removed) means its scheduled runs are skipped.

### `cron_save` (~127 tokens)

Create or update a scheduled task. job: {id?, name, schedule (5-field cron), command, cwd?, site?, enabled?}. `site` links the job to a site by name: it runs in the site folder when cwd is empty and is skipped while the site is disabled or asleep; null unlinks, omitting it keeps the current link. For Laravel `schedule:run` prefer set_site_scheduler (the site's built-in scheduler) over a cron job.

Input parameters:

- `job` (object, required): { id?, name, schedule, command, cwd?, site?, enabled? }

### `cron_run` (~24 tokens)

Run a scheduled task now.

Input parameters:

Input parameters:

- `version` (string): PHP version (optional; defaults to the default version)

### `set_php_extension` (~100 tokens)

Enable or disable a PHP extension (verifies it loads; rolls back a broken enable). Returns the updated list. On macOS only the ext/ add-ons (xdebug, apcu, ���) toggle; compiled-in modules cannot be disabled.

Input parameters:

- `enabled` (boolean, required): true to enable
- `name` (string, required): extension name, e.g. xdebug, intl, gd
- `version` (string): PHP version (optional)

### `set_frankenphp_extensions` (~104 tokens)

Set which loadable extensions FrankenPHP's embedded PHP enables (Windows `ext/php_*.dll`). Pass `names` as an array of bare names (e.g. ['curl','gd']), or null to restore the recommended defaults. Regenerates php.ini and restarts FrankenPHP when it is the active web server. No-op on macOS (static build, no ext/).

Input parameters:

- `names` (required): string[] of extension names, or null for defaults

### `refresh_php_build` (~95 tokens)

macOS: bring an older PHP install up to the current mirrored build in place (re-downloads the version, swaps bin/ + ext/, keeps php.ini) so the loadable add-ons (xdebug, apcu, imagick, memcached, mongodb, igbinary) become available. Use when php_extensions reports legacyBuild=true.

Input parameters:

- `version` (string): PHP version (optional; defaults to the default version)

### `install_php_extension` (~88 tokens)

### `share_site` (~317 tokens)

Share a site publicly and return the URL. provider "envkit" (default, EnvKit Share): https://<subdomain>.envkit.net, the same address every time; reuses the previous subdomain for that site when one is not given; optionally require a password (HTTP basic auth on the share URL only; the .test site stays open): the result then carries `auth` {user, password} to hand to the user; without password arguments the site keeps its previous protection setting. provider "cloudflare" (Cloudflare quick tunnel, no account): a random https://<words>.trycloudflare.com that changes every time the site is shared and ends when the tunnel stops; no subdomain and no password. Several sites can be shared at the same time; sharing a site again replaces its current share.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): site name
- `password` (string): login password (optional; 8-72 printable characters; generated when omitted). Giving one implies require_password
- `provider` (string): share provider (optional; default "envkit")
- `require_password` (boolean): EnvKit Share only: protect the share URL with a username + password (optional; false removes an existing password)
- `subdomain` (string): EnvKit Share only: subdomain to serve it under (optional; 3-63 chars, letters/numbers/hyphens)
- `username` (string): login username (optional; default "guest"; letters, numbers, . _ -)

### `stop_share` (~43 tokens)

Stop a public share and release its tunnel. Stops every share when no site name is given.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string): site name (optional; omit to stop all)

### `share_status` (~98 tokens)

Every active public share (site, provider "envkit" or "cloudflare", URL, status, expiry — empty for cloudflare — and `auth` {user, password} when password-protected) as {shares:[...]}. A share that ended by itself (status "stopped" or "expired") stays listed until stop_share dismisses it; `error` says why (e.g. its site was disabled). Read-only.

### `backup_site` (~82 tokens)

Create a local zip backup of a site (project files + a logical dump of its detected MySQL/Postgres database). Returns the archive path. Skips node_modules, vendor, .git, storage/logs.

Input parameters:

- `dest_dir` (string): optional destination folder (default: <dataDir>/backups/<site>)
- `name` (string, required): site name

### `apply_project_config` (~348 tokens)

Apply a project's committed envkit.json (at the project root) to its EnvKit site: PHP version, required PHP extensions and php.ini values (schema 2 `php: {version, extensions, ini}`), domain/aliases, databases to create, Laravel scheduler/queue workers, custom processes. An optional envkit.local.json (per developer, not committed) is merged over it; items it decided carry origin:'local'. Node is only checked, never changed. The file only adds and updates — workers/processes/aliases it does not mention are kept. web_server is a GLOBAL switch that affects every site, so it is applied only when its key 'web_server' is named in items. PHP extension/ini items belong to a PHP version: when other sites use that version the item lists them in sharedWith and is applied only when its key (e.g. 'php_extension:intl', 'php_ini:memory_limit') is named in items — tell the user which sites it reaches first. With FrankenPHP as the web server, web requests run FrankenPHP's embedded PHP; the plan reports a version or extension it lacks as blocked. Call with dry_run:true first and show the plan to the user before applying. Returns {applied, skipped, errors} (dry run: the plan with items[] and their state same|change|blocked).

Input parameters:

- `dry_run` (boolean): only return the plan: what envkit.json would change, nothing is applied
- `items` (array): plan item keys to apply; default = every applicable change except web_server and PHP extension/ini changes shared with other sites
- `name` (string, required): site name

### `export_project_config` (~139 tokens)

Write a site's current EnvKit setup (PHP major.minor, Node from .nvmrc, custom domain, aliases, detected databases, scheduler, queue workers, processes) to envkit.json at the project root, so teammates can apply it. Never writes the web server; process env variables are written by name with an empty value (never the value). Queue worker extraArgs are written as configured, so review the file before committing it. Refuses to replace an existing envkit.json unless overwrite is true — ask the user first.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): site name
- `overwrite` (boolean): replace an existing envkit.json

### `list_site_backups` (~40 tokens)

List local zip backups for a site (path, size, createdAt, databases included). Read-only.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): site name

### `snapshot_database` (~136 tokens)

Take a snapshot (logical dump) of ONE MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL database, saved under <dataDir>/snapshots/<engine>/<name>/. Starts the server if it is stopped. System databases (mysql, sys, information_schema, performance_schema, postgres) are refused. Returns the snapshot (id, path, size, createdAt).

Input parameters:

- `engine` (string): 'mysql' | 'postgres' (default mysql)
- `instance` (string): full version of an extra MySQL/MariaDB server running next to the main one (omit for the main server)
- `name` (string, required): database name

### `restore_database_snapshot` (~175 tokens)

Restore a database from one of its snapshots: drops and replaces the database on that server — confirm with the user first. By default a snapshot of the current data is taken first so the restore can be undone. A snapshot restores onto any server of the same engine (pass instance to target an extra MySQL/MariaDB version). PostgreSQL: other connections to that database are closed first. System databases are refused.

Input parameters:

- `engine` (string): 'mysql' | 'postgres' (default mysql)
- `id` (string, required): snapshot id from list_database_snapshots
- `instance` (string): full version of an extra MySQL/MariaDB server (omit for the main server)
- `name` (string, required): database name
- `safety_snapshot` (boolean): take a snapshot of the current data first (default true)

### `list_database_snapshots` (~68 tokens)

List the snapshots of a database, newest first (id, createdAt, size, source instance/port) as {snapshots:[...]}. Read-only.

Input parameters:

- `engine` (string): 'mysql' | 'postgres' (default mysql)
- `name` (string, required): database name

### `open_site_in_editor` (~39 tokens)

Open a site's project folder in the user's preferred code editor (falls back to the OS file manager).

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): site name

### `run_artisan` (~62 tokens)

Run a php artisan command in a Laravel site and return its output (e.g. args ["migrate","--force"]).

Input parameters:

- `args` (array, required): artisan arguments, e.g. ["migrate:status"]
- `name` (string, required): site name

### `open_app` (~113 tokens)

Show and focus the EnvKit app window (restores it from the tray, recreating it if closed). Optionally open a specific page. This server runs inside the app, so EnvKit is already running whenever this tool is reachable.

Input parameters:

- `page` (string): optional page to open: 'dashboard' | 'sites' | 'services' | 'databases' | 'logs' | 'dumps' | 'mailpit' | 'tools' | 'cron' | 'ai' | 'settings'

## Common questions

### What is the EnvKit MCP server?

EnvKit is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Env-Kit/envkit. Control the EnvKit local dev stack (PHP, nginx, MySQL, sites). Requires the EnvKit desktop app. This page covers its MCPB bundle (https://github.com/Env-Kit/envkit-releases/releases/download/v0.33.0-beta.44/envkit-mcp-0.33.0-beta.44.mcpb).

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

EnvKit scores 43 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 EnvKit MCP server expose?

EnvKit exposes 110 tools: help, status, status_live, config, paths, and 105 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 7,656 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### What licence is the EnvKit MCP server under?

EnvKit declares the Proprietary licence, which is not on the OSI-approved list. Read the terms before using it at work, and note this covers the source only, not the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the EnvKit MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 12 checks on EnvKit, covering Source repository, Provenance, License, Maintenance and 8 more. 4 items could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about EnvKit: Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts and Dependency health. 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 MCPB bundle, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
