## 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 2026-10-23.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - 0 of 28 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 19/100
  - Repository check failed: no source repository is declared.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 21 days ago).
  - Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 84/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1021 tokens (~92/item across 11 items; 11 tools + 0 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).
- **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.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 12 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - 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.

### 2026-10-17 (score 52)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (11)

### `account` (~27 tokens)

Who is signed in and how many credits are left. One credit is roughly one second of animation.

### `list_characters` (~28 tokens)

The characters in the account, newest first. New accounts have a demo mannequin ready to animate.

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `upload_character` (~83 tokens)

Upload a character and wait until its skeleton has been read (seconds for a normal file, a minute or two for a very heavy one). Returns the character id to animate.

Input parameters:

- `path` (string, required): Local path to an FBX, GLB, GLTF or DAE. Rigged or not - an un-rigged character gets a skeleton built for it.

### `create_animal` (~105 tokens)

No model yet: have a textured 3D animal made from a description and rigged. Costs about 30 credits; refunded if it fails.

Input parameters:

- `description` (string, required): The animal in a few words: 'a brown horse', 'a grey wolf', 'a golden retriever'.
- `name`: Optional name for it.
- `wait` (boolean): Wait until it is ready (about five minutes). If false, returns at once; check list_characters.

### `plan_motion` (~100 tokens)

Free preview of what generate_animation would do for this prompt: the beats, the engine, the price in credits and the current balance. Nothing is generated or charged.

Input parameters:

- `character_id`: The character the plan is for; an animal and a person have different moves. Omit for the most recent one.
- `prompt` (string, required): What the character should do, in plain English. Sequences are fine: 'trots forward, then sits down'.

### `generate_animation` (~252 tokens)

Generate an animation from a sentence on the user's character, wait for it, and download the files. Charges credits (see plan_motion first if the price matters); a failed job is refunded automatically.

Input parameters:

- `character_id`: A character id from list_characters or upload_character. Omit to use the most recent ready character.
- `download_dir`: Where to save the files. Default: ~/mocapless/<job>/ (or MOCAPLESS_DOWNLOAD_DIR).
- `formats` (array): Any of fbx, glb, bvh.
- `loop` (boolean): Make the clip loop seamlessly (for idles, walks, dances).
- `prompt` (string, required): What the character should do, in plain English, in order. Best as one to four short present-tense beats about the body: 'trots forward, stops, looks around, then sits down.'
- `quality` (string): 'standard' (one take) or 'best' (two takes, keeps the steadier one; same credits, a little slower).
- `wait` (boolean): Wait for the result (usually 30-90 seconds). If false, returns the job id to check with get_job.

### `get_job` (~52 tokens)

Status of a generation, and its files once it has finished.

Input parameters:

- `download_dir`: If set and the job succeeded, download the files here.
- `job_id` (string, required): A job id from generate_animation.

### `recent_animations` (~27 tokens)

The account's recent generations.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): How many, newest first.

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `share_link` (~39 tokens)

A public link to watch the animation in the browser - the clip only, not the files.

Input parameters:

- `job_id` (string, required): A finished job id.

### `character_pack` (~93 tokens)

The full animation set of one character (idle, walk, trot, run, jump, sit, lie down and more, in one FBX and one GLB): whether it is unlocked, how each move is coming along, and the files once built.

Input parameters:

- `character_id` (string, required): A character id from list_characters.
- `download_dir`: If set and the pack is ready, save its zip here.

### `unlock_character` (~62 tokens)

A checkout link (one payment per character) for the person to open: it opens every animation of the character for download and builds its full set. You cannot pay; hand over the link.

Input parameters:

- `character_id` (string, required): A character id from list_characters.

## Common questions

### What is the Mocapless MCP server?

Mocapless is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.halifa-bar/mocapless. Rig and animate 3D animals and characters from a sentence. Get FBX and GLB for any engine. This page covers its PyPI package (mocapless-mcp).

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

Mocapless scores 67 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 23 October 2026. 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 Mocapless MCP server expose?

Mocapless exposes 11 tools: account, list_characters, upload_character, create_animal, plan_motion, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 868 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Mocapless MCP server still maintained?

Mocapless is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 23 October 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 Mocapless MCP server under?

Mocapless declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
