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 →

- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- 32 of 124 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency48
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 64 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability76
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass

- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management83
- Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.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
How do I install the Glyphloop MCP server?
Glyphloop runs locally as an npm package, launched with npx -y glyphloop. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

- 20 Sept 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 80 to 83. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 24 days of observed history at the previous scan, 25 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

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 →
list_sources ~25
List available animation sources with their parameters, plus the preset schema. Call this first.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
preview_frame ~88
Render one frame of a preset as plain text so you can inspect the look before rendering. phase 0..1 picks the point in the loop.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| maxCols | number | – | Downscale preview to at most this many columns (default 100) |
| phase | number | – | Loop position, default 0.25 |
| preset | object | yes | Partial preset JSON (see list_sources) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
render_animation ~107
Render a full loop-perfect animation to files. Format "embed" writes frames.json + player.js + index.html (drop into any website: <div data-ascii-player></div> + the two files). "terminal" writes frames.ans + play.sh. "frames" writes frames.json only.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| format | string | – | Default embed |
| outDir | string | yes | Absolute directory to write output files into |
| preset | object | yes | Partial preset JSON (see list_sources) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
What is the Glyphloop MCP server?
Glyphloop is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.ideoshi/glyphloop. Create loop-perfect ASCII animations and website-ready embeds with an AI agent. This page covers its npm package (glyphloop).
Is the Glyphloop MCP server safe to use?
Glyphloop scores 83 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 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 Glyphloop MCP server expose?
Glyphloop exposes 3 tools: list_sources, preview_frame, render_animation. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 220 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the Glyphloop MCP server still maintained?
Glyphloop is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
