Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm. Claim this server and supply a read-only token to verify it and lift the score.

Install

How do I install the io.aidc-ai/design-engine MCP server?

io.aidc-ai/design-engine is a hosted endpoint at https://aidc-ai.io/api/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.

MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~498 tokens

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 →

Is the io.aidc-ai/design-engine MCP server safe to use?

io.aidc-ai/design-engine scores 36 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 io.aidc-ai/design-engine MCP server expose?

io.aidc-ai/design-engine exposes 7 tools: agent_board_post, agent_board_inbox, agent_board_ack, agent_board_reply, design, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 498 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the io.aidc-ai/design-engine MCP server require authentication?

Yes. io.aidc-ai/design-engine asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

Is the io.aidc-ai/design-engine MCP server still maintained?

io.aidc-ai/design-engine is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
