## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-27.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 6 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 78/100
  - 80% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 3057 tokens (~29/item across 105 items; 6 tools + 99 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 93/100
  - Stability observed for 28 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 8 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Install

### How do I install the Agent Workspace Practice MCP server?

Agent Workspace Practice is a hosted endpoint at https://jamesross.ai/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.

### Claude

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http jimy-r-agent-workspace-practice 'https://jamesross.ai/mcp'
```

### Cursor

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jimy-r-agent-workspace-practice": {
      "url": "https://jamesross.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "jimy-r-agent-workspace-practice": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://jamesross.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Codex

```toml
[mcp_servers.jimy-r-agent-workspace-practice]
url = "https://jamesross.ai/mcp"
```

### opencode

```json
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "jimy-r-agent-workspace-practice": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://jamesross.ai/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}
```

### OpenClaw

```bash
openclaw mcp add jimy-r-agent-workspace-practice --url 'https://jamesross.ai/mcp' --transport streamable-http
```

### Hermes

```yaml
mcp_servers:
  jimy-r-agent-workspace-practice:
    url: "https://jamesross.ai/mcp"
```

### Netclaw

```json
{
  "McpServers": {
    "jimy-r-agent-workspace-practice": {
      "Transport": "http",
      "Url": "https://jamesross.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Vellum

```bash
assistant mcp add jimy-r-agent-workspace-practice -t streamable-http -u 'https://jamesross.ai/mcp'
```

### Other

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jimy-r-agent-workspace-practice": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://jamesross.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

The mcpServers block is a cross-client convention. Remote transports vary, so check your client's docs.

## MCP tools (6)

### `search_architecture` (~181 tokens)

Search the published agent-workspace writing

Full-text search across the published architecture corpus: the 18 patterns and how they compose, the evaluation method, the seven learn-track modules, and the teardowns of other people's published agent systems. Returns ranked sections, each with its title, its source file, a snippet, and a link to the full text on GitHub. Use it when you want the passage itself rather than a pattern summary; lookup_pattern is the narrower tool that answers "which pattern covers this?". Every section is also readable in full as a resource under the architecture:// scheme (resources/list, resources/read).

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): How many sections to return. 1-10, default 5.
- `query` (string, required): Search terms, e.g. "canonical copy", "silent failure", "cache write cost". Terms shorter than 3 characters are ignored.

### `lookup_pattern` (~114 tokens)

Look up an agent-workspace pattern

Search the 18 architecture patterns behind this practice by keyword or by pattern number. Returns up to 3 matches, each with its number, title, the problem it opens on, and a link to the full text. Use it when you want the reasoning behind an agent-workspace design decision rather than a how-to.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Keywords to match against pattern titles and summaries, e.g. "credentials", "silent failure", "context cost". A bare number 1-18 looks that pattern up directly.

### `assess_workspace` (~233 tokens)

Score an agent workspace or an organisation

Score an agent workspace across six dimensions: canonical knowledge, memory and context economics, verification and oversight, safety and permissions, telemetry and cost, provenance and delegation. Two variants: "practitioner" takes 18 answers (a single operator's workspace), "org" takes 12 (an organisation's agent readiness). Each answer is an integer 0-3 in question order, where 0 is the least mature option offered and 3 the most. Returns per-dimension scores, an overall percentage, a maturity band, and the two weakest dimensions with the gap that matters there. The question text lives at https://jamesross.ai/tools/maturity-check (practitioner) and https://jamesross.ai/tools/agent-readiness (org). Read it before answering on someone's behalf.

Input parameters:

- `answers` (array, required): Answers in question order: 18 integers for "practitioner", 12 for "org". Each is 0-3.
- `variant` (string, required): "practitioner" for the 18-question workspace check, "org" for the 12-question organisational readiness check.

### `price_context_read` (~234 tokens)

Price a block of context by its position

Price a block of context by where it enters a session. The API is stateless, so the whole transcript is re-sent on every inference step, and a token costs its size times the number of turns left after it arrives. Returns the carried token volume, the cost of the block in USD, what the same read would have cost entering 20 turns from the end, and the multiplier between the two. Use it to decide whether a large read should move later in a session or into a subagent.

Input parameters:

- `entry_turn` (number, required): Turn number at which the block enters the context (t).
- `price_in_per_mtok` (number): Input price in USD per million tokens. Default 5.
- `read_mult` (number): Cache-read price multiplier against input price. Default 0.1.
- `size_tokens` (number, required): Size of the block in tokens (S).
- `total_turns` (number, required): Total turns in the session (T). Must be at least entry_turn.
- `write_mult` (number): Cache-write price multiplier against input price. Default 1.25.

### `check_redaction` (~140 tokens)

Pre-flight text for the shapes of private content

Scan text for the shapes of private content before it goes anywhere public: email addresses, absolute home paths, credential and token prefixes, private and link-local IPs, .local hostnames, and secret filenames. Returns a count per pattern class and a total, nothing else. The text you send and the substrings that matched are never stored, never logged and never echoed back. Only the counts are kept. A line carrying the marker "redaction-ok" is skipped. Accepts up to 100KB.

Input parameters:

- `text` (string, required): The text to scan. Up to 100KB; anything beyond that is truncated and the result says so.

### `request_capability` (~84 tokens)

Request a capability this server does not have

Tell this server what capability you needed but didn't find here. Requests are logged and reviewed by a human; include no secrets or personal data.

Input parameters:

- `context` (string): Optional: what you were trying to do, and why the existing tools did not cover it. Up to 1KB.
- `description` (string, required): What you needed. Up to 2KB.

## Common questions

### What is the Agent Workspace Practice MCP server?

Agent Workspace Practice is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.jimy-r/agent-workspace-practice. Search + patterns, maturity assessment, context pricing, redaction checks - a practice as tools. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://jamesross.ai/mcp).

### Is the Agent Workspace Practice MCP server safe to use?

Agent Workspace Practice scores 73 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 Agent Workspace Practice MCP server expose?

Agent Workspace Practice exposes 6 tools: search_architecture, lookup_pattern, assess_workspace, price_context_read, check_redaction, request_capability. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 986 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Agent Workspace Practice MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Agent Workspace Practice without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the Agent Workspace Practice MCP server still maintained?

Agent Workspace Practice is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 27 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
