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 Security100
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 0 of 29 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency35
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- License check failed: no license is declared. See how to fix → Fail
- Actively maintained (last published 3 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability73
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 2717 tokens (~90/item across 30 items; 30 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management77
- Stability observed for 23 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
- Structured output schemas are declared (87% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 30 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 31 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the io.github.mp-juns/universal-research-mcp server?
io.github.mp-juns/universal-research-mcp runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx universal-research-mcp. 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 →

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

memory_check_evidence_eligibility ~87
Check exact evidence integrity and count, never semantic claim support. ``claim_type`` is deliberately required: the gate activates from claim consequence, so a caller must classify the claim instead of inheriting a silent inactive default.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
research_commit_ingest ~116
Append exactly one approved pending draft and refresh derived indexes. This is a mutating, non-idempotent host-approved tool. It accepts no record body and no model-supplied approval boolean. It refuses a replay, any change to the canonical ledger or staged source files, or an invalid human scope approval. Canonical append success is reported separately from derived-index refresh status.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| approval_receipt_id | string | yes | – |
| draft_id | string | yes | – |
| draft_sha256 | string | yes | – |

|---|---|---|---|
| draft_id | string | yes | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
research_prepare_ingest ~104
Validate input and create an immutable pending draft, never a canonical record. Each new source registration contains only ``path``, ``source_id``, and ``source_type``. The path must be project-contained and is hash-bound at preparation and commit. A canonical human approval record must already exist and cover this record's study and kind.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| approval_ref | string | yes | – |
| record | object | yes | – |
| source_registrations | – | – | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
