Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security90
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects pdfjs-dist 5.7.284, reached via @dicepdf/core > pdfjs-dist. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- 34 of 116 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency19
- Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 119 days ago).Pass
- Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.Unverified
Schema Quality & AI Usability74
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 701 tokens (~63/item across 11 items; 11 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- 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 Coverage81
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 44% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety75
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 0 of 3 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "pdf_merge" implies "merge" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
- An AI judge read all 11 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100

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 DicePDF MCP server?
DicePDF is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.ishan-maheshwari/dicepdf. Local-first PDF tools for AI agents: merge, split, extract, render, compress. Files stay on-device. This page covers its npm package (@dicepdf/mcp).
Is the DicePDF MCP server safe to use?
DicePDF scores 71 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 25 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 DicePDF MCP server expose?
DicePDF exposes 11 tools: pdf_extract_text, pdf_merge, pdf_split, pdf_rotate, pdf_delete_pages, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 701 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the DicePDF MCP server still maintained?
DicePDF is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the DicePDF MCP server under?
DicePDF declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
