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 →
call_tool Call a tool on a server ~65
Call a tool on one of the MCP servers. Arguments must match the schema from get_tool_schema.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| arguments | object | – | Tool arguments matching its input schema |
| server | string | yes | Server name from list_servers |
| tool | string | yes | Tool name from list_tools |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_tool_schema Get the full schema of a tool ~53
Get the full description and JSON input schema of one tool, needed to construct arguments for call_tool.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| server | string | yes | Server name from list_servers |
| tool | string | yes | Tool name from list_tools |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| annotations | object | – | – |
| description | string | yes | The full description, untruncated. |
| inputSchema | object | yes | JSON Schema for the arguments of call_tool. |
| name | string | yes | – |
| outputSchema | object | – | JSON Schema the structuredContent of a call conforms to; absent if the tool declares none. |
| server | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
list_servers List MCP servers ~54
List all MCP servers available through this hub, with their status. Call this first to see what is available. Servers marked "hidden" serve their tools only via their own endpoint, but wake_server/sleep_server still manage them.

Is the mcp-hub server safe to use?
mcp-hub scores 97 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 4 November 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 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
