## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 10 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - 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**: 57/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 872 tokens (~87/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (20% 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 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 11 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## Install

### How do I install the Show, Don't Code MCP server?

Show, Don't Code is a hosted endpoint at https://pugarhuda--show-dont-code-web.us-east.modal.run/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.

### 2026-11-04 (score 61)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (10)

### `list_runs` (~20 tokens)

Names of the sample runs (videos already turned into protocols).

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `get_run` (~61 tokens)

The steps found in the video (with video seconds), the open questions, and the Opentrons simulator and protocol
        analysis results, including the deck setup, runtime parameters and the thermocycler's minimum time in seconds.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required)

### `get_protocol` (~41 tokens)

The generated Opentrons Flex protocol (Python, API 2.24), ready to import into the Opentrons App.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `get_protocol_designer` (~70 tokens)

The protocol as an Opentrons Protocol Designer file: import it at designer.opentrons.com to edit each step
        (transfers, mixes, the thermocycler program) without code. The Opentrons App can also run it as is.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required)

### `get_tube_labels` (~139 tokens)

The tubes to load on the tube rack before the run: each tube's deck slot and well, how many µL to fill a source
        tube with (what the robot draws + 10 % + dead volume) for `reactions` copies of the filmed reaction (protocol.py's
        Reactions parameter, up to max_reactions), and the link its label's QR code opens. Links to the printable
        labels: an Avery L7160 sheet (SVG) and a Zebra thermal printer file (ZPL, 2 x 1 in).

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required)
- `reactions` (integer)

### `run_on_flex_robot_server` (~123 tokens)

Run the run's protocol.py end to end on Opentrons' own robot-server (the software inside a Flex, v10.1.0) in
        Flex simulation, with the Reactions parameter set: the robot's analysis, deck configuration, play to the end.
        Returns the robot's report (status 'succeeded', command count). About a minute the first time, then cached.
        Runs only the protocol this server generated, never code an agent sends.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required)
- `reactions` (integer)

### `get_related_protocols` (~60 tokens)

Public protocols on protocols.io that use this run's reagents (brand and kit names) and protocol type, with
        DOIs and which reagent words each mentions: how other labs wrote up the same kit.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required)

### `get_bench_card` (~93 tokens)

The illustrated bench card for training: each filmed step drawn by Muse Image from its own video frame (an
        edit of the real frame, no text drawn in), Muse Spark's check that the drawing kept every object, and the
        step's reagent and volume from the protocol. Image links are under /api/runs/<name>/bench-card/<step>.jpg.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required)

### `crosscheck_volumes` (~85 tokens)

This run's per-reaction volumes next to those of published protocols.io protocols that use the same kit, read by
        Muse Spark: each match has the published volume, its verbatim quote (checked to be in the protocol's text), both
        reagents' share of the reaction and whether they agree within 20 %.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required)

### `get_receipt` (~60 tokens)

Reproducibility receipt: SHA-256 of the protocol, the video and every model output, and which models ran,
        anchored in Bitcoin with OpenTimestamps ('timestamp': pending calendars, or the confirming block).

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required)

## Common questions

### What is the Show, Don't Code MCP server?

Show, Don't Code is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.PugarHuda/show-dont-code. Lab video or protocols.io protocol to a simulator-checked Opentrons Flex/OT-2 protocol. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://pugarhuda--show-dont-code-web.us-east.modal.run/mcp).

### Is the Show, Don't Code MCP server safe to use?

Show, Don't Code scores 62 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.

### What tools does the Show, Don't Code MCP server expose?

Show, Don't Code exposes 10 tools: list_runs, get_run, get_protocol, get_protocol_designer, get_tube_labels, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 752 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Show, Don't Code MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Show, Don't Code without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the Show, Don't Code MCP server still maintained?

Show, Don't Code 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.
