## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

## MCP tools (6)

### `list_servers` (~54 tokens)

List MCP servers

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.

Output parameters:

- `servers` (array)

### `list_tools` (~45 tokens)

List tools of a server

List the tools of one MCP server with one-line descriptions. Use get_tool_schema before calling a tool for the first time.

Input parameters:

- `server` (string, required): Server name from list_servers

Output parameters:

- `server` (string)
- `tools` (array)

### `get_tool_schema` (~53 tokens)

Get the full schema of a tool

Get the full description and JSON input schema of one tool, needed to construct arguments for call_tool.

Input parameters:

- `server` (string, required): Server name from list_servers
- `tool` (string, required): Tool name from list_tools

Output parameters:

- `annotations` (object)
- `description` (string): The full description, untruncated.
- `inputSchema` (object): JSON Schema for the arguments of call_tool.
- `name` (string)
- `outputSchema` (object): JSON Schema the structuredContent of a call conforms to; absent if the tool declares none.
- `server` (string)

### `call_tool` (~65 tokens)

Call a tool on a server

Call a tool on one of the MCP servers. Arguments must match the schema from get_tool_schema.

Input parameters:

- `arguments` (object): Tool arguments matching its input schema
- `server` (string, required): Server name from list_servers
- `tool` (string, required): Tool name from list_tools

### `wake_server` (~42 tokens)

Wake a sleeping server

Start an on-demand server now so its first tool call is fast. No-op if it is already running.

Input parameters:

- `server` (string, required): Server name from list_servers

Output parameters:

- `name` (string)
- `status` (string): What the hub is currently doing with this server.
- `toolCount` (integer)

### `sleep_server` (~44 tokens)

Put a server to sleep

Stop an on-demand server immediately instead of waiting for its idle timeout. It restarts automatically on the next tool call.

Input parameters:

- `server` (string, required): Server name from list_servers

Output parameters:

- `name` (string)
- `status` (string): What the hub is currently doing with this server.

## 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.
