Endpoint Security46
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability81
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 7411 tokens (~36/item across 202 items; 193 tools + 9 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100

Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 3 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "json_merge" implies "merge" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail

Install

How do I install the ToolAPI MCP server?

ToolAPI is a hosted endpoint at https://toolapi.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.

MCP tools · 193 exposed · ~7,263 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 ToolAPI MCP server?

ToolAPI is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as org.toolapi/hub. Free public MCP for AI agents, 193 tools, 44 workflows. No API key. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://toolapi.org/mcp).

Is the ToolAPI MCP server safe to use?

ToolAPI scores 68 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 ToolAPI MCP server expose?

ToolAPI exposes 193 tools: json_validate, json_format, json_minify, csv_to_json, json_to_csv, and 188 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 7,263 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the ToolAPI MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to ToolAPI without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the ToolAPI MCP server still maintained?

ToolAPI is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 28 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
