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 →

MCP tools · 5 exposed · ~443 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
deploy_contract ~118

POST /contracts/deploy — find-or-create by name, insert YAML as stable, deprecate prior stable. 409 if that (name, version) exists: bump version in the YAML. Refused while quarantine is pending. Save the returned contract_id.

NameTypeReqDescription
deployed_bystring–Actor recorded on the version row
namestringyesContract name matching the YAML name: field
sourcestring–Logical feed name, e.g. app-backend
yaml_contentstringyesFull contract YAML

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_quarantine ~63

GET /quarantine — rejected events for the caller's org, newest first, with violation details.

NameTypeReqDescription
contract_idstring–Restrict to one contract
limitinteger–Default 100, max 500
offsetinteger––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

infer_contract ~90

Generate draft ContractGate YAML from real JSON sample events via POST /contracts/infer. Does not persist. Review and write the YAML to contracts/<name>.yaml before deploying.

NameTypeReqDescription

namestringyesContract name, snake_case, e.g. user_events

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

validate_events ~152

Validate events. Pass contract_id to hit POST /v1/ingest/{id} (dry_run defaults true — no audit, quarantine, or usage). Pass yaml_content to hit POST /playground/validate per event (never persists). Exactly one of contract_id or yaml_content. 207/422 responses are returned as data so you can apply each violation's suggestion.

NameTypeReqDescription
contract_idstring–Deployed contract UUID from deploy_contract
dry_runboolean–Ingest only. Default true. Set false only after a successful dry run.

Common questions

What is the ContractGate MCP server?

ContractGate is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.nightmoose/contractgate. Infer, dry-run, deploy, and inspect ContractGate semantic data contracts. This page covers its npm package (@contractgate/mcp-server).

Is the ContractGate MCP server safe to use?

ContractGate scores 76 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 25 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 ContractGate MCP server expose?

ContractGate exposes 5 tools: infer_contract, validate_events, deploy_contract, get_quarantine, list_contracts. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 443 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the ContractGate MCP server still maintained?

ContractGate is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 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 ContractGate MCP server under?

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