Available components
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 Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 3 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability72
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 532 tokens (~177/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management93
- Stability observed for 28 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage90
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 71% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
How do I install the Tapercraft — VHS Label Maker MCP server?
Tapercraft — VHS Label Maker is a hosted endpoint at https://vhs.texs.org/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.

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 →
compose_design ~270
Build a label design and return a URL the user opens to finish it. Designing and previewing are free; exporting a print-ready file requires a membership, so present the URL as a starting point the user completes in their browser. Fields listed in the response as "unsupported" were NOT applied — tell the user rather than reporting them as done. The user's own image files cannot be attached through this tool: uploads happen in the browser, so for a design around their own photos compose from the nearest match (or just format + title) and tell them to drag their images in after opening the URL.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| content | object | – | What the design is of. Provide a query, or an id from search_content. Video formats take movie/tv; audio formats (cassette, jcard, cd*, vinyl*, minidisc*) take album. For audio, the album alone build… |
| format | string | yes | Which packaging format |
| layout | object | – | – |
| style | object | – | – |
| text | object | – | Overrides for the fetched metadata (video formats only — on audio formats these come back as unsupported). Omit a field to keep the provider value. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_formats ~35
List the packaging formats that can be composed, with their printed dimensions. Call this first if you are unsure which format the user wants.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_content ~87
Look up a movie, TV show, or music album by title and return candidate matches with years. Use when the user's title is ambiguous and you want to confirm which one they mean before composing.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Title to search for, e.g. "Predator 1987" or "Michael Jackson Thriller" |
| type | string | yes | movie, tv, or album |
