## 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**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to pipeworx-io/mcp-dchub).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 3 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1074 tokens (~153/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 23/100
  - Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "dchub_execute_plan" implies "execute" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default.
  - An AI judge read all 8 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.

### `dchub_search_facilities` (~177 tokens)

Find data centers and who operates them (DC Hub facility registry), filtered by city, state, country, operator or MW range. Returns name, operator, location and verification flag; MW detail needs a DC Hub key. Keyless calls return a preview.

## Common questions

### What is the Dchub MCP server?

Dchub is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/dchub. DC Hub -- data-center site selection, power and grid intelligence. Live per-request proxy of DC… This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-dchub).

### Is the Dchub MCP server safe to use?

Dchub scores 80 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 Dchub MCP server expose?

Dchub exposes 7 tools: dchub_execute_plan, dchub_search_facilities, dchub_get_market_intel, dchub_get_grid_data, dchub_source_capacity, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,020 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Dchub MCP server still maintained?

Dchub 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 Dchub MCP server under?

Dchub declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
