Endpoint Security80
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability75
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 890 tokens (~127/item across 7 items; 7 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 Management100
  • No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage93
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 74% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
  • 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 7 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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Install

How do I install the io.hunchful/hunchful MCP server?

io.hunchful/hunchful is a hosted endpoint at https://hunchful.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.

    No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 93 to 97. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 28 days of observed history at the previous scan, 29 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~890 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
add_hunch ~235

Record a NEW hunch the person just confirmed in conversation — a custom axis with their answer, added directly to their model (visible, revisable, removable by them). OWNER-LEVEL trust required: OAuth as the owner, or the editToken. Only record what the person actually said — never invent or infer a hunch they didn't confirm. For situational axes name it 'When <situation>'. If they haven't answered yet, use suggest_question instead.

apply_refinement ~84

Apply a refinement directly as one logged revision (append evidence pointers, nudge confidence). Authorized by OAuth (own model) or an editToken. Prefer propose_refinement unless the owner asked for direct writes.

find_complementary_thinkers ~82

Which famous thinkers would COMPLETE this person — opposite poles on the axes where opposites unstick each other (not similarity). Open read; great for curiosity and for explaining what a complementary collaborator looks like. Share the pages as links.

find_matches ~121

Look for complementary PEOPLE for the connected person (rule: agents propose, humans accept — this creates pending proposals the human decides on in their Hunchful hub; identities are never revealed here). Requires OAuth as the owner or the model's editToken, and the person must have joined introductions on their matches page.

propose_refinement ~79

Propose a refinement (provenance pointers only). It lands in the owner's confirm queue — nothing changes until they accept. Authorized by OAuth (own model) or a contributionToken.

read_model ~79

Read a Hunchful collaboration model: its hunches (axis, pole, confidence), the axis ids you can refine, and how you're connected. Start here. With OAuth, omit modelId to read the connected person's own model.

suggest_question ~210

Suggest a NEW question/axis for the person — a dimension their model doesn't capture (situational axes welcome: name it 'When <situation>'). It lands in their Hunchful inbox and, by default, emails them; nothing is added until they answer. Authorized by OAuth (own model) or a contributionToken. Use sparingly — about once a week at most.

Is the io.hunchful/hunchful MCP server safe to use?

io.hunchful/hunchful scores 87 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.hunchful/hunchful MCP server expose?

io.hunchful/hunchful exposes 7 tools: read_model, propose_refinement, suggest_question, add_hunch, find_complementary_thinkers, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 890 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the io.hunchful/hunchful MCP server require authentication?

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

Is the io.hunchful/hunchful MCP server still maintained?

io.hunchful/hunchful 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.
