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 NodePing MCP by usefulapi server?

NodePing MCP by usefulapi is listed in the public MCP registry as io.usefulapi/nodeping. Read NodePing checks, uptime, results and events; mute checks, manage maintenance and schedules. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://nodeping.usefulapi.io/mcp).

Is the NodePing MCP by usefulapi server safe to use?

NodePing MCP by usefulapi scores 64 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 NodePing MCP by usefulapi server expose?

NodePing MCP by usefulapi exposes 28 tools: nodeping_get_account, nodeping_list_checks, nodeping_get_check, nodeping_get_check_results, nodeping_get_check_uptime, and 23 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,057 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the NodePing MCP by usefulapi server require authentication?

Yes. NodePing MCP by usefulapi 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 NodePing MCP by usefulapi server still maintained?

NodePing MCP by usefulapi is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 16 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
