## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-25.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 57/100
  - Stability observed for 17 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **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 (25% 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 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## 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)

### `search_docs` (~378 tokens)

Search Capacitor documentation

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).

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): The maximum number of items to return, e.g. 5. Defaults to 10, maximum 25.
- `query` (string, required): The search terms, e.g. "camera permissions android" or "live reload". Plain keywords work best; no search operators are supported.
- `section` (string): 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.
- `version` (string): Optional. Capacitor docs version. Defaults to v8. Match the major version of @capacitor/core in the user's package.json.

Output parameters:

- `results` (array)

### `get_doc_page` (~256 tokens)

Read a documentation page

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.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): The 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.
- `version` (string): Optional. Capacitor docs version. Defaults to v8. Match the major version of @capacitor/core in the user's package.json.

### `list_plugins` (~299 tokens)

List Capacitor plugins

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.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): The maximum number of items to return, e.g. 5. Defaults to 25, maximum 100.
- `query` (string): A free-text filter matching the package name or the description, e.g. "camera". Defaults to no filter. Optional.
- `source` (string): 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".

### `list_blog_posts` (~109 tokens)

List recent blog posts

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.

## Common questions

### What is the io.capawesome/capacitor-mcp server?

io.capawesome/capacitor-mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as io.capawesome/capacitor-mcp. Unofficial MCP server for the Capacitor documentation, plugin list and blog. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://capacitor-mcp.capawesome.io/mcp).

### Is the io.capawesome/capacitor-mcp server safe to use?

io.capawesome/capacitor-mcp scores 78 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.capawesome/capacitor-mcp server expose?

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?

io.capawesome/capacitor-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
