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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog) Scored 2026-11-05. - **Supply Chain Security**: 23/100 - No malware scan is available for this kind of package: the supply-chain vendors we use do not cover it. This is a permanent gap in our coverage, not a finding about the package. - Known CVEs were checked across the 93 of 93 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. - No install/post-install scripts declared. - 30 of 93 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. - **Provenance & Transparency**: 48/100 - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT). - Actively maintained (last published 1 days ago). - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md). - **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 73/100 - AI-judged instruction clarity (good). - Tool/resource definitions use about 2900 tokens (~103/item across 28 items; 28 tools + 0 resources), lean. - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. - **Stability & Change Management**: 57/100 - Stability observed for 17 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses. - **Tool Coverage**: 99/100 - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name). - 97% 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. - All 6 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation. - An AI judge read all 29 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 Kandle MCP server? Kandle ships as an MCPB bundle, a single file you download and open in an MCP host that supports MCPB bundles, such as Claude Desktop. The host reads the launch command from the bundle's own manifest, so there is no command to copy. Before opening it, check the file's SHA-256 matches the one the MCP registry declares for it, 64d3e0b2920d938508be6466892a7c730672c9e39847560b798652ba0fa9bb7d; the commands to do that are on this page. If it does not match, do not open it. - Download bundle: `https://github.com/Kernel-Hunter/kandle/releases/download/v0.11.0/kandle-mcp-0.11.0.mcpb` - SHA-256: `64d3e0b2920d938508be6466892a7c730672c9e39847560b798652ba0fa9bb7d` ### Verify on macOS / Linux ```bash echo "64d3e0b2920d938508be6466892a7c730672c9e39847560b798652ba0fa9bb7d kandle-mcp-0.11.0.mcpb" | shasum -a 256 -c ``` ### Verify on Windows (PowerShell) ```powershell (Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\kandle-mcp-0.11.0.mcpb).Hash -eq "64d3e0b2920d938508be6466892a7c730672c9e39847560b798652ba0fa9bb7d" ``` ## Changelog Every change recorded for this component, newest first.

Returns each line's last price and change since the left edge. Input parameters: - `exchange` (string): Data source of the compared symbol. Defaults to the main chart's exchange. - `symbol` (string, required): Market symbol to compare, such as ETHUSDT, SOL-USD or SPY ### `remove_compare` (~78 tokens) Remove compared symbol Removes a compared symbol from the main chart, or every one with "all".

Crypto exchanges give the change over the last 24 hours; Twelve Data, Alpaca and Polygon the change since the previous daily close; CSV data the last close against the bar before. Each row says which (basis) and when it was updated. ### `add_to_watchlist` (~76 tokens) Add to watchlist Adds a symbol to the watchlist, on the main chart's exchange unless exchange is given. Returns the updated watchlist. Input parameters: - `exchange` (string): Data source of the row. Defaults to the main chart's exchange. - `symbol` (string, required): Market symbol such as SOLUSDT, ETH-USD or AAPL ### `remove_from_watchlist` (~64 tokens) Remove from watchlist Removes a symbol from the watchlist, or every symbol with "all".

Data from the other tools stays the real OHLC. Input parameters: - `pane` (integer): Chart pane, 1 to 4 in reading order. Defaults to 1, the main chart. - `scale` (string): Price axis: normal, log (logarithmic) or percent (change from the first bar on screen) - `type` (string): How bars are drawn. heikin_ashi only changes the picture: get_candles, indicators, scripts and alerts keep using the real OHLC. ### `get_share_link` (~180 tokens) Get share link A link that opens the main chart in Kandle for anyone: exchange, symbol, timeframe, chart type, scale, visible range, indicators and drawings, and optionally scripts and the multi-chart layout. The chart is stored after the # in the link, so it is not sent to any server. Whoever opens it sees it as a temporary view and can keep it or go back to their own chart. With embed: true it also returns an iframe that shows the chart on a blog or docs page. Charts of imported CSV files cannot be shared. Input parameters: - `embed` (boolean): Also return embed_url and iframe, HTML that shows the chart on another web page with a link back to Kandle (default false). Embeds never include scripts - `include` (object): What the link carries besides the exchange, symbol and timeframe of the main chart ## Diagnostics Captured diagnostic sections: Provenance, Dependencies.

Kandle is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Kernel-Hunter/kandle. Read and draw on a live crypto, stock or forex chart, run scripts and backtests. This page covers its MCPB bundle (https://github.com/Kernel-Hunter/kandle/releases/download/v0.11.0/kandle-mcp-0.11.0.mcpb). ### Is the Kandle MCP server safe to use? Kandle scores 56 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. 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 Kandle MCP server expose? Kandle exposes 28 tools: get_bridge_status, get_chart_state, set_symbol, set_timeframe, get_candles, and 23 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,764 tokens of context every time the server is loaded. ### What licence is the Kandle MCP server under? Kandle declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls. ## Links - Repository: https://github.com/Kernel-Hunter/kandle - Website: https://kernel-hunter.github.io/kandle/ - Changelog RSS feed: https://verifymcp.io/servers/kernel-hunter-kandle/kandle-mcp.xml - Changelog JSON feed: https://verifymcp.io/servers/kernel-hunter-kandle/kandle-mcp.json - HTML version of this page: https://verifymcp.io/servers/kernel-hunter-kandle/kandle-mcp
