MCP tools · 17 exposed · ~570 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 →

Common questions

What is the io.github.ofershap/devutils MCP server?

io.github.ofershap/devutils is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.ofershap/devutils. Developer utilities MCP: base64, UUID, hash, JWT decode, cron, timestamps. This page covers its npm package (mcp-server-devutils).

Is the io.github.ofershap/devutils MCP server safe to use?

io.github.ofershap/devutils scores 83 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. 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 io.github.ofershap/devutils MCP server expose?

io.github.ofershap/devutils exposes 17 tools: base64_encode, base64_decode, uuid_generate, ulid_generate, hash, and 12 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 570 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.github.ofershap/devutils MCP server still maintained?

io.github.ofershap/devutils 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 io.github.ofershap/devutils MCP server under?

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