Trust breakdown (7 categories)

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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security0
  • 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.Unverified
  • Known CVEs could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM or dependency manifest, so there is no dependency list to read.Unverified
  • Install-script risk not yet assessed.Unverified
  • Dependency health could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM or dependency manifest, so there is no dependency list to read.Unverified
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability67
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 760 tokens (~253/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management97
  • Stability observed for 29 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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.

Install

How do I install the MCP Retrieval server?

MCP Retrieval runs locally as a container image, launched with docker run --rm -i -e MCP_TRANSPORT -e MCP_NAME -e MCP_PATH -e SERVER_PORT -e SERVER_READ_TIMEOUT -e SERVER_WRITE_TIMEOUT -e LOG_MODE -e MAX_IDLE_CONNS_PER_HOST -e MAX_QUERIES -e DEFAULT_RESULTS -e MAX_RESULTS -e DEFAULT_IMAGES -e MAX_IMAGES -e DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS -e MIN_TIMEOUT_MS -e MAX_TIMEOUT_MS -e DEFAULT_DOCUMENT_CHARS -e MAX_DOCUMENT_CHARS -e PROXY_SCHEME -e PROXY_HOST -e PROXY_PORT -e PROXY_LOGIN -e PROXY_PASSWORD ghcr.io/role1776/mcp-retrieval:0.1.7. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 3 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

Captured 9 Oct 2026 · Analysed oci/ghcr.io/role1776/mcp-retrieval:0.1.7

Provenance Inconclusive

We could not complete the check, so nothing is claimed either way. This is a gap on our side, not a finding about the package.

Background: How many MCP packages publish verified provenance →

MCP tools · 3 exposed · ~760 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
web_scrape ~233

Downloads pages by their links and returns the main text as markdown. Links are fetched in parallel; a single call handles up to 10 of them, so batch all links you need into one call instead of calling the tool per link. Size: the 'max_chars' limit applies to each page separately, not to the whole response — 5 links stay under the limit each and the response holds all 5 texts. The limit counts characters, not tokens. A page cut short ends with '[truncated]' and its 'truncated' field is set; the cut-off part cannot be fetched afterwards, so treat what you got as all there is for that page.

NameTypeReqDescription
max_charsinteger–truncate each page separately to N characters, default and maximum 20000; only lowers the limit, higher values are ignored
remove_linksboolean–strip markdown links from the text
robots_txtboolean–respect the page robots.txt
timeout_msinteger–timeout for the whole call in milliseconds
urlsnull|arrayyeslinks to pages, downloaded in parallel
NameTypeReqDescription
metadataobjectyes–
resultsnull|arrayyes–

No examples provided.

web_search ~320

Searches the web for one or more queries and returns snippets with links. Queries run in parallel. IMPORTANT: Always write search queries in English for best results and relevance. For images use the 'web_search_images' tool; both tools can be called in the same turn when a query needs text and images. Freshness: set the 'date' field to restrict results by recency — 'd' (past day), 'w' (past week), 'm' (past month), 'y' (past year). Use it to prefer the most recent pages when the user asks about news or anything time-sensitive; leave it empty for all time. Query operators (put them inside the query string itself): 'site:example.com term' limits the search to one site; 'filetype:pdf term' restricts to a file type; double quotes "exact phrase" force an exact match; a leading '-' excludes a word (term -foo); 'intitle:term' requires the word in the page title. Operators can be combined, e.g. 'site:arxiv.org filetype:pdf transformers'.
