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 Security89
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability76
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 1256 tokens (~78/item across 16 items; 16 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail

  • Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

  • 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
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 16 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

Install

How do I install the io.usefulapi/documenso MCP server?

io.usefulapi/documenso is a hosted endpoint at https://documenso.usefulapi.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 · 16 exposed · ~1,256 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 →

Common questions

What is the io.usefulapi/documenso MCP server?

io.usefulapi/documenso is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.usefulapi/documenso. Read and send documents for signature, templates, recipients, fields and folders. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://documenso.usefulapi.io/mcp).

Is the io.usefulapi/documenso MCP server safe to use?

io.usefulapi/documenso 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.usefulapi/documenso MCP server expose?

io.usefulapi/documenso exposes 16 tools: documenso_list_documents, documenso_get_document, documenso_get_documents_by_ids, documenso_get_recipient, documenso_get_field, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,256 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the io.usefulapi/documenso MCP server require authentication?

Yes. io.usefulapi/documenso asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

Is the io.usefulapi/documenso MCP server still maintained?

io.usefulapi/documenso is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
