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 Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (pause_schedule). See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability84
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 1268 tokens (~105/item across 12 items; 11 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management13
- Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage97
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 88% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (27% 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 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 13 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

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 10 to 13. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 3 days of observed history at the previous scan, 4 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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_run_results Get saved scrape or run results ~112
Fetch the rows of one of the user's saved scrapes or scheduled runs by id and show them as a table. Use list_my_saved_scrapes or list_my_runs first to find the id.

|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | Id of a saved scrape (from list_my_saved_scrapes) or of a scheduled run (from list_my_runs). |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
lection_browser_tools_info Instagram and LinkedIn exports (browser extension) ~100
Explain how to export data from Instagram (comments, followers, following, posts) or LinkedIn (connections) with Lection. These sites require login, so they run in the user's own browser through the Lection Chrome extension rather than inside ChatGPT. Call this whenever the user asks for Instagram or LinkedIn data; it returns the install link and the right tool page.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| platform | string | yes | Which site the user wants data from. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_my_runs List my scheduled runs ~51

| scheduleId | string | – | Only runs of this schedule. |
| status | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_my_saved_scrapes List my saved scrapes ~67
List the user's most recent saved scrapes in Lection (title, page, row count, id). A saved scrape is the starting point for schedule_extraction and get_run_results.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | How many recent saved scrapes to list (1-20). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_my_schedules List my schedules ~47
List the user's scheduled extractions: name, cadence, destination, next run and last status.

|---|---|---|---|
| scheduleId | string | yes | Id of the schedule to pause (from list_my_schedules). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
schedule_extraction Schedule a saved scrape ~293
Create a recurring schedule (hourly, daily or weekly) that re-runs one of the user's saved scrapes and delivers each run to email, a Google Sheet or a webhook. This creates a recurring job in the user's Lection account and may use cloud credits: confirm the saved scrape, cadence and destination with the user before calling. Respects the user's plan limits and returns a clear message if one is reached.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cadence | string | yes | How often to run. |
| destination | string | – | Where each run is delivered. google_sheet needs the user to have connected Google Sheets in Lection; webhook needs webhookUrl. |
| name | string | yes | Schedule name, at least 3 characters. |

How do I install the Lection MCP server?
Lection is a hosted endpoint at https://www.lection.app/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 Lection MCP server?
Lection is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.eteleieto/lection-mcp. Search YouTube videos, channel uploads and comments as tables; manage Lection schedules. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://www.lection.app/mcp).
Is the Lection MCP server safe to use?
Lection scores 70 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 Lection MCP server expose?
Lection exposes 11 tools: youtube_search, youtube_channel_videos, youtube_comments, lection_browser_tools_info, my_lection_account, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,192 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Lection MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Lection without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Lection MCP server still maintained?
Lection is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 18 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
