## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - 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 7 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 is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - 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**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 460 tokens (~65/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 37/100
  - Stability observed for 11 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**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 0 of 1 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.
  - 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 tinytoolbox MCP server?

tinytoolbox is a hosted endpoint at https://tinytoolbox.bigfloppy.net/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.

## Common questions

### What is the tinytoolbox MCP server?

tinytoolbox is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as net.bigfloppy.tinytoolbox/tinytoolbox. PDF tools + QR over MCP: merge, split, rotate, text, metadata, malicious-content scan. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://tinytoolbox.bigfloppy.net/mcp).

### Is the tinytoolbox MCP server safe to use?

tinytoolbox scores 68 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 tinytoolbox MCP server expose?

tinytoolbox exposes 7 tools: pdf_merge, pdf_split, pdf_rotate, pdf_text, pdf_info, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 423 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the tinytoolbox MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the tinytoolbox MCP server still maintained?

tinytoolbox is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
