## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 50/100
  - Malware scan not yet available for this package.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 71/100
  - Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to partprogramming09/webscope).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 15 days ago).
  - Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 76/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability check failed: the tool surface changed between 0.2.0 and 0.6.0: 3 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 3 additions.
- **Tool Coverage**: 98/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 94% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (33% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `search` (~132 tokens)

Search the project

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...).

Input parameters:

- `context` (integer): lines around
- `format` (string): concise = essentials only
- `limit` (integer): maximum number of lines
- `regex` (boolean): text is an extended regex
- `text` (string, required): literal unless regex=true
- `where` (string): folder or file relative to the root

### `read` (~177 tokens)

Read a chunk of a file

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.

Input parameters:

- `contains` (string): logs: lines containing this text
- `file` (string, required): 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

### `run` (~102 tokens)

Run a read-only script

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).

Input parameters:

- `args` (array): one argument per element; relative paths, no ..
- `detail` (string): schema = card without running it
- `name` (string): script or «list»

Output parameters:

- `exit` (integer|null)
- `note` (string)
- `output` (string)

## Common questions

### 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 61 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 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 5 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.
