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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Endpoint Security83
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability65
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3430 tokens (~228/item across 15 items; 15 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management0
  • Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 15 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 16 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

Unverified: 1 category

A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

Install

How do I install the PuckAPI MCP server?

PuckAPI is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.puckapi.com/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.

MCP tools · 15 exposed · ~2,295 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
get_game_detail ~122

Use when you need everything about one game: both teams' full info, all betting odds, and the goalies who started, with their time on ice. Requires a game ID (get one from get_games or get_schedule). Odds available for 2019-20 onwards, though 2019-20 itself is sparse. Goalie starts are derived from play-by-play, so they are available for played games, not upcoming ones. Costs 10 credits.

get_shot_map ~189

Use when you want shot locations rather than a list of events: every shot attempt with rink coordinates, shot type, strength, shooter and goalie. Filter by game, or by season plus a team or player. Paginated: follow next_offset, since a season runs past one page and pages are chronological. Costs 10 credits.

Returns points, wins, losses, OT losses, point%, goal differential, goals for/against per game, and 5v5 possession: Corsi%, Fenwick% and expected goals for and against.

Common questions

What is the PuckAPI MCP server?

PuckAPI is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.noahowsh/puckapi. The hockey API for stats, odds, and everything between. REST API and MCP server. Free to start. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.puckapi.com/mcp).

Is the PuckAPI MCP server safe to use?

PuckAPI scores 73 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 PuckAPI MCP server expose?

PuckAPI exposes 15 tools: get_standings, get_team_stats, list_teams, get_games, get_schedule, and 10 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,295 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the PuckAPI MCP server require authentication?

Yes. PuckAPI asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

Is the PuckAPI MCP server still maintained?

PuckAPI is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 27 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
