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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security46
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to connect, but we couldn't read the tool list to see what that exposes. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability68
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 175 tokens (~175/item across 0 items; 0 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Nothing to assess: this server has no tools to check for usage examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability check failed: schema churn in the 30 days we've observed: 35 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 0 additions. See how to fix → Fail
Tool Coverage0
- Tool coverage not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools.Unverified
Tool Safety0
- Tool safety not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools.Unverified
Capabilities40
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
Unverified: 2 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.
How do I install the Spaceflight News MCP server?
Spaceflight News is a hosted endpoint at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/spaceflight-news/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.

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 →
No tool schema has been captured from this endpoint yet.
