Available components
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
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability81
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 1635 tokens (~96/item across 17 items; 17 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- 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 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 17 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 17 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
How do I install the io.usefulapi/northflank MCP server?
io.usefulapi/northflank is a hosted endpoint at https://northflank.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.

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 →

What is the io.usefulapi/northflank MCP server?
io.usefulapi/northflank is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.usefulapi/northflank. Inspect and control your Northflank projects, services, jobs, and builds from your AI assistant. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://northflank.usefulapi.io/mcp).
Is the io.usefulapi/northflank MCP server safe to use?
io.usefulapi/northflank scores 86 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/northflank MCP server expose?
io.usefulapi/northflank exposes 17 tools: northflank_list_projects, northflank_get_project, northflank_list_services, northflank_get_service, northflank_list_jobs, and 12 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,635 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the io.usefulapi/northflank MCP server require authentication?
Yes. io.usefulapi/northflank 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/northflank MCP server still maintained?
io.usefulapi/northflank 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.
