Available components
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 Security48
- Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
- Known CVEs were checked across the 46 of 48 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
- Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- Dependency health was assessed across the 46 of 48 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency48
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 1 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability0
- Schema quality not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar) that our sandbox does not supply, so we have no schema to assess.Unverified
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar) that our sandbox does not supply, so we have no schema to compare.Unverified
Tool Coverage0
- Tool coverage not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar) that our sandbox does not supply, so we have no tool definitions to assess.Unverified
Tool Safety0
- Tool safety not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar) that our sandbox does not supply, so we have no tool text to scan.Unverified
Capabilities0
- Protocol version not yet verified: this server's registry entry declares environment variables (an API key or similar) that our sandbox does not supply, so we never saw its MCP handshake.Unverified
Unverified: 5 categories
Categories scored 0 because our sandbox run of this package has not given us the schema these checks need to read. That is a gap on our side rather than a finding about the package, and we only credit what we can confirm, so the score stands at 0 until the capture succeeds. We are working through the fleet, so this normally clears without any action from you. How we score packages →
How do I install the Palinode MCP server?
Palinode runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx palinode. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Captured 20 Sept 2026 · Analysed pypi/palinode@0.21.0
Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

Install scripts 1 script

| Tree resolution | Partial |
The dependency tree was only partially resolved, so these counts may be incomplete.

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 →
Tools for package channels are captured by running the package in an isolated sandbox. The most recent sandbox run could not capture a tool list from this package.
What is the Palinode MCP server?
Palinode is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.phasespace-labs/palinode. Inspectable, correctable project memory in git-versioned Markdown for AI agents. This page covers its PyPI package (palinode).
Is the Palinode MCP server safe to use?
Palinode scores 24 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.
Is the Palinode MCP server still maintained?
Palinode 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 Palinode MCP server under?
Palinode declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
