Endpoint Security74
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability67
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1193 tokens (~298/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management57
  • Stability observed for 17 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
  • Structured output schemas are declared (25% 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
Install

How do I install the io.capawesome/capacitor-mcp server?

io.capawesome/capacitor-mcp is a hosted endpoint at https://capacitor-mcp.capawesome.io/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 · 4 exposed · ~1,042 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 →

Tool Tokens
get_doc_page ~256

Read the full markdown of a single page of the official Capacitor documentation. Use this after `search_docs` to read a page end to end before writing code against a plugin API, a CLI command or a native configuration, because search snippets are deliberately short and regularly omit required setup steps. Returns the page title, its URL, the documentation version and the complete page markdown including code samples. Do not use this to find a page: it needs an exact URL or path, so run `search_docs` first. Do not use it for pages outside capacitorjs.com — Capawesome plugins and Capawesome Cloud are covered by the Capawesome MCP server at https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp, Ionic Framework UI components by the Ionic Framework MCP server at https://ionic-framework-mcp.capawesome.io/mcp.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyesThe page URL or site-relative path, e.g. "https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/camera", "apis/camera" or "ios/configuration". An anchor is ignored; the whole page is returned.
versionstring–Optional. Capacitor docs version. Defaults to v8. Match the major version of @capacitor/core in the user's package.json.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_blog_posts ~109

List the 10 most recent posts from the Capacitor tag of the official Ionic blog, newest first. Use this when the question is about what is new — recent releases, announcements or deprecations. The blog covers both Capacitor and Ionic Framework. Returns `title`, `date`, `tags`, `url` and `excerpt` per post. Do not use this to answer a documentation question: the feed only carries the newest posts, so search the documentation with `search_docs` instead.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_plugins ~299

List Capacitor plugins: the official plugins maintained by the Capacitor team and community plugins from the awesome-capacitorjs list maintained by Capawesome. Use this to find a plugin for a native capability before writing custom native code, and to learn which package name and maintainer a capability belongs to. Returns `name`, `description`, `source`, `maintainer` and `url` per plugin, plus `core: true` for a plugin that ships with @capacitor/core and `experimental: true` for an experimental one. Results are ranked by relevance, with official Capacitor plugins ranked first, then plugins maintained by Capawesome, then other community plugins. Do not use this to read a plugin's API: call `get_doc_page` with the `url` of an official plugin, and use the Capawesome MCP server at https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp for Capawesome plugins.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitinteger–The maximum number of items to return, e.g. 5. Defaults to 25, maximum 100.
querystring–A free-text filter matching the package name or the description, e.g. "camera". Defaults to no filter. Optional.
sourcestring–Which plugins to list: "official" for the plugins maintained by the Capacitor team, "community" for the awesome-capacitorjs entries, or "all" for both. Defaults to "all".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_docs ~378

Search the official Capacitor documentation from capacitorjs.com by keyword. Use this first for any question about Capacitor itself — the CLI, the `capacitor.config` file, the native Android and iOS projects, the official plugin APIs, or upgrading to a newer major version — because guessing an API, a configuration option or a CLI flag produces broken code. Returns the best matching page sections with `title`, `url`, `snippet`, `section` and `version`, plus the `parentTitle` and `parentUrl` of the page a section belongs to. The same results are attached as structured content. Do not use this to read a whole page (call `get_doc_page` with a `url` from these results), to look up Capawesome plugins such as @capawesome/capacitor-file-picker or Capawesome Cloud services such as Live Updates, Native Builds and App Store Publishing (use the Capawesome MCP server at https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp instead), or to look up Ionic Framework UI components (use the Ionic Framework MCP server at https://ionic-framework-mcp.capawesome.io/mcp instead).

NameTypeReqDescription
limitinteger–The maximum number of items to return, e.g. 5. Defaults to 10, maximum 25.
querystringyesThe search terms, e.g. "camera permissions android" or "live reload". Plain keywords work best; no search operators are supported.
sectionstring–Restrict the search to one part of the documentation, e.g. "apis" for the official plugin references or "ios" for the native iOS guides. Defaults to searching every section.
versionstring–Optional. Capacitor docs version. Defaults to v8. Match the major version of @capacitor/core in the user's package.json.

io.capawesome/capacitor-mcp exposes 4 tools: search_docs, get_doc_page, list_plugins, list_blog_posts. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,042 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the io.capawesome/capacitor-mcp server require authentication?

No. We connected to io.capawesome/capacitor-mcp without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the io.capawesome/capacitor-mcp server still maintained?
