Trust breakdown (7 categories)

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 Security78
  • The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
  • Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
  • HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 401, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
  • HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
  • DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
  • The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability76
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2471 tokens (~130/item across 19 items; 19 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 Management97
  • Stability observed for 29 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
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 19 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 19 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
Install

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

io.usefulapi/freshdesk is a hosted endpoint at https://freshdesk.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 · 19 exposed · ~2,471 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/freshdesk MCP server?

io.usefulapi/freshdesk is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.usefulapi/freshdesk. Read tickets, contacts, companies, agents and groups; create, update and reply to tickets. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://freshdesk.usefulapi.io/mcp).

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

io.usefulapi/freshdesk scores 85 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/freshdesk MCP server expose?

io.usefulapi/freshdesk exposes 19 tools: freshdesk_list_tickets, freshdesk_get_ticket, freshdesk_search_tickets, freshdesk_list_ticket_conversations, freshdesk_list_contacts, and 14 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,471 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

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

Yes. io.usefulapi/freshdesk 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/freshdesk MCP server still maintained?

io.usefulapi/freshdesk is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
