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 Security63
- 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 check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability66
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1291 tokens (~117/item across 11 items; 11 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 Management83
- Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage84
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 53% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 12 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

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 →
satelo_about How Satelo works ~60
Explains Satelo: websites promote each other with partner articles exchanged in circles (A→B→C→A), an internal currency (satellites ◉), pricing and how an AI agent can enrol a site. Call this first if unsure.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
satelo_account My account ~32
Requires API key. Balance in satellites, sites with status/Quality Score/prices, recent incoming and outgoing articles.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
satelo_add_site Add a site ~386
Requires API key. Adds a website to the account. Methods: "wp" = WordPress plugin (returns the connection key and steps); "ghost" = Ghost, no plugin: pass the owner's Ghost Admin API URL and Admin API key (Ghost Admin → Settings → Integrations → custom integration), Satelo verifies them and the site is active at once; "api" = any other site renders the Satelo feed (static site generators such as Hugo, Astro, Jekyll, Eleventy or Next.js use this). Drupal 10/11 and Joomla 4.4/5 sites use "wp" with platform "drupal" or "joomla": the owner installs the Satelo module (https://satelo.io/downloads/satelo-drupal.zip) or system plugin (https://satelo.io/downloads/satelo-joomla.zip) and pastes the same connection key; both are first releases. The site joins the exchange once ownership is verified; its first article (about Satelo) earns satellites.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | yes | Domain |
| ghost_admin_key | string | – | Ghost only: Admin API key "id:secret" (secret: never publish it) |
| ghost_admin_url | string | – | Ghost only: Admin API URL, e.g. https://blog.example.com |
| ghost_drafts | boolean | – | Ghost only: create posts as drafts for the owner to publish in Ghost (default: publish) |

How do I install the Satelo MCP server?

What is the Satelo MCP server?
Satelo is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.satelo/satelo. Websites promote each other: Quality Score checks, partner discovery and article placement. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://satelo.io/mcp).
Is the Satelo MCP server safe to use?
Satelo scores 74 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 Satelo MCP server expose?
Satelo exposes 11 tools: satelo_about, satelo_check_site, satelo_find_sites, satelo_signup, satelo_account, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,173 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Satelo MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Satelo without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Satelo MCP server still maintained?
Satelo is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
