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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Endpoint Security66
  • The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
  • Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 5 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
  • HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
  • The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
  • DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability89
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 2042 tokens (~88/item across 23 items; 6 tools + 17 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management87
  • Stability observed for 26 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 (100% 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 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 7 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 hovhannes.io MCP server?

hovhannes.io is a hosted endpoint at https://hovhannes.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 · 6 exposed · ~909 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_field_note ~114

The complete text of a single field note. Use this after search_field_notes or list_field_notes, which return only an excerpt. Accepts the slug, the path, or the full URL — 'what-30-days-of-crawler-logs-showed', '/what-30-days-of-crawler-logs-showed' and 'https://hovhannes.io/what-30-days-of-crawler-logs-showed' all work.

list_upcoming_tables ~70

The scheduled dates for the private six-person product roundtable in Yerevan, with how many guest seats remain on each. Use this to answer when the next table is or whether a given date still has room, and to get the exact `startsAt` value that request_table_seat needs.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

NameTypeReqDescription

No examples provided.

request_table_seat ~535

Ask for one of the five guest seats at a Yerevan Product Coffee table. Call list_upcoming_tables first and pass one of its exact `startsAt` values. This sends a real request to a real person, so it takes two calls: call it once to see exactly what would be sent, show that to the person it is about, then call it again with the same values and confirm: true. A request is not a booking — Hovhannes reads each one himself and replies within 3–5 days, and no seat is held until he does.

Common questions

What is the hovhannes.io MCP server?

hovhannes.io is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.hovhannes/site. Yerevan Product Coffee: table dates, remaining seats, seat requests, and the field notes behind it. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://hovhannes.io/mcp).

Is the hovhannes.io MCP server safe to use?

hovhannes.io scores 83 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 hovhannes.io MCP server expose?

hovhannes.io exposes 6 tools: list_upcoming_tables, search_field_notes, get_sprint_details, list_field_notes, request_table_seat, get_field_note. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 909 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the hovhannes.io MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to hovhannes.io without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the hovhannes.io MCP server still maintained?

hovhannes.io is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
