Trust breakdown (7 categories)

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 →

  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • 37 of 108 dependencies flagged as unhealthy (1 deprecated). View diagnostics → Partial

Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

MCP tools · 6 exposed · ~303 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
call_tool ~65

Common questions

What is the mcp-hub server?

mcp-hub is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.ni-c/mcp-hub. Many stdio MCP servers from one container, published over HTTPS with OAuth 2.1 for any MCP client. This page covers its npm package (@ni-c/mcp-hub).

Is the mcp-hub server safe to use?

mcp-hub scores 95 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 mcp-hub server expose?

mcp-hub exposes 6 tools: list_servers, list_tools, get_tool_schema, call_tool, wake_server, sleep_server. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 303 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the mcp-hub server still maintained?

mcp-hub is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 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 mcp-hub server under?

mcp-hub declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
