## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, 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 2026-10-07.

- **Endpoint Security**: 46/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it.
  - HTTPS check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema, or could read only part of its tool list.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.

  - Tool safety not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's capabilities.

**Unverified: 5 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Install

### How do I install the Nci Evs MCP server?

Nci Evs is a hosted endpoint at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nci-evs/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.

### 2026-09-29 (score 60, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-09-28 (score 59, 0)

## Common questions

### What is the Nci Evs MCP server?

Nci Evs is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/nci-evs. NCI Thesaurus concepts and the other cancer-research vocabularies served by NCI Enterprise… This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nci-evs/mcp).

### Is the Nci Evs MCP server safe to use?

Nci Evs scores 30 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.

### Does the Nci Evs MCP server require authentication?

Its publisher declares no required credentials for Nci Evs. We have not been able to confirm that against the live endpoint, and a server can require authorisation without declaring it here.

### Is the Nci Evs MCP server still maintained?

Nci Evs is still listed in the MCP registry, though our most recent checks did not reach this channel. We last reached this channel on 5 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
