## 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**: 0/100
  - No malware scan is available for this kind of package: the supply-chain vendors we use do not cover it. This is a permanent gap in our coverage, not a finding about the package.
  - Known CVEs could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM or dependency manifest, so there is no dependency list to read.
  - Install-script risk not yet assessed.
  - Dependency health could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM or dependency manifest, so there is no dependency list to read.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (AGPL-3.0).
  - Actively maintained (last published 27 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 70/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2122 tokens (~265/item across 8 items; 4 tools + 4 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 87/100
  - Stability observed for 26 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 83/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 50% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 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).

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (4)

### `get_artifact` (~124 tokens)

Fetch an artifact stored by run_js code via the artifact(key, mime, bytes) global. The payload is returned as a content block matching its mime type: image/* as an MCP image block (visible to the model), audio/* as an audio block, UTF-8 payloads as text, and other binary as base64 text. A JSON metadata block (key, mime_type, size_bytes, created_at, execution_id, encoding) comes first.

Input parameters:

- `key` (string, required): Artifact key, as passed to `artifact(key, mime, bytes)` in JS.

### `get_artifact_upload_url` (~234 tokens)

Get a one-time URL for uploading a file as an artifact over plain HTTP, so the file's bytes never pass through a tool call. Returns { url, method: "PUT", expires_at, max_bytes }: send the raw file as the request body, e.g. `curl -fsS -T ./file '<url>'`. The URL needs no other credentials, works once, and expires (default 10 minutes); max 16 MiB. Afterwards run_js code reads the file with `artifact.get(key)`. If `url` is absent the server has no public URL configured: append the returned `path` to the origin you reach the server at.

Input parameters:

- `expires_in_secs` (integer|null): How long the URL stays valid, in seconds (default 600, max 3600).
- `key` (string, required): Key the uploaded file will be stored under (same key overwrites).
- `mime_type` (string|null): Mime type to store, e.g. "application/pdf". When omitted, the upload request's Content-Type is used ("application/octet-stream" if none).

### `list_artifacts` (~50 tokens)

List metadata (key, mime_type, size_bytes, created_at, execution_id) for all artifacts stored via the artifact(key, mime, bytes) global. Use get_artifact to fetch a payload.

### `run_js` (~1573 tokens)

run javascript or typescript code in v8

Executes code and returns the console output directly. Each call runs in a fresh V8 isolate — no state is carried between calls.

TypeScript support is type removal only — types are stripped before execution, not checked. Invalid types will be silently removed, not reported as errors.

params:
\- code (optional): the javascript or typescript code to run. Provide either `code` or `file`.
\- file (optional): path to a JavaScript/TypeScript file **on the server's own filesystem** to read and execute instead of inline `code`. Provide either `code` or `file`, not both. This is disabled by default: the server must be started with `--allow-run-js-file` (allow any path) or a `run_js_file` policy in `--policies-json` (allow specific paths/dirs), otherwise the call is rejected. The path is resolved on the server, not uploaded from the client.
\- heap_memory_max_mb (optional): maximum V8 heap memory in megabytes (minimum: 4, default: 8). Override the server default for this execution.
\- execution_timeout_secs (optional): maximum execution time in seconds (1–300, default: 30). Override the server default for this execution.

returns:
\- output: console output from the execution (everything printed via console.log, console.info, console.warn, console.error)
\- error: error message if the execution failed, timed out, or was cancelled

\## Console Output

Use `console.log()` to produce output. `console.info`, `console.warn`, and `console.error` are also supported (with `[INFO]`, `[WARN]`, `[ERROR]` prefixes respectively).

eg:

\```js
const result = 1 + 1;
console.log(result);
\```

Returns `output: "2"`.

\```js
const obj = { a: 1, b: 2 };
console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));
\```

Returns `output: '{"a":1,"b":2}'`.

async/await is supported. The runtime resolves top-level Promises automatically.

\## Artifacts (returning images and other non-text content)

Console output is text-only. To return an image — or any other typed payload (audio, CSV, arbitr…

Input parameters:

- `code` (string|null)
- `execution_timeout_secs` (integer|null)
- `file` (string|null)
- `heap_memory_max_mb` (integer|null)

## Common questions

### What is the mcp-v8 server?

mcp-v8 is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.r33drichards/mcp-js. Run JavaScript and TypeScript in sandboxed V8 isolates with policy-controlled host capabilities. This page covers its container image (docker.io/wholelottahoopla/mcp-js).

### Is the mcp-v8 server safe to use?

mcp-v8 scores 50 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 mcp-v8 server expose?

mcp-v8 exposes 4 tools: get_artifact, get_artifact_upload_url, list_artifacts, run_js. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,981 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the mcp-v8 server still maintained?

mcp-v8 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 mcp-v8 server under?

mcp-v8 declares the AGPL-3.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
