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 →
Supply Chain Security100
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency71
- Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to partprogramming09/webscope). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 14 days ago).Pass
- Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.Unverified
Schema Quality & AI Usability76
- 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
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 499 tokens (~166/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 Management0
- Stability check failed: the tool surface changed between 0.2.0 and 0.6.0: 3 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 3 additions. See how to fix → Fail
Tool Coverage98
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 94% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (33% 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 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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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 →
read Read a chunk of a file ~177
Only a chunk of a file: the function or class `symbol` (PHP, TS, JS, Vue, Python; list = several in one call), the section of a .md, a range `lines`, or from a log the last `tail` or those containing `contains`; without anything, the file index. Use it instead of Read, cat or sed. Read-only, inside the root; does not read secrets.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| contains | string | – | logs: lines containing this text |
| file | string | yes | path relative to the root |
| format | string | – | concise = essentials only |
| lines | string | – | range «120-180» |
| max_lines | integer | – | – |
| symbol | – | – | function, class or title; list = several |
| tail | integer | – | logs: last N lines |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
run Run a read-only script ~102
Runs a read-only script from the manifest: exit code and trimmed output. Without `name` it lists them. Use it instead of Bash for what a script covers. No shell; rejects absolute paths, `..` and anything that writes (goes through run_write).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| args | array | – | one argument per element; relative paths, no .. |
| detail | string | – | schema = card without running it |
| name | string | – | script or «list» |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| exit | integer|null | – | – |
| note | string | – | – |
| output | string | – | – |
No examples provided.
search Search the project ~132
Where a text is defined or used: lines grouped by file, most cited first (concise: 5 files). Case-insensitive. Use it instead of grep. To see the code use read. Read-only, inside the root; skips secrets (.env, *.key...).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| context | integer | – | lines around |
| format | string | – | concise = essentials only |
| limit | integer | – | maximum number of lines |
| regex | boolean | – | text is an extended regex |
| text | string | yes | literal unless regex=true |
| where | string | – | folder or file relative to the root |

What is the Webscope MCP server?
Webscope is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.partprogramming09/webscope. Short project answers for coding agents: grouped search, one symbol per read, the project's scripts. This page covers its PyPI package (webscope-mcp).
Is the Webscope MCP server safe to use?
Webscope scores 76 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 4 November 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 Webscope MCP server expose?
Webscope exposes 3 tools: search, read, run. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 411 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the Webscope MCP server still maintained?
Webscope is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 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 Webscope MCP server under?
Webscope declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
