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 →

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 →

What is the Verdi Bridge MCP server?
Verdi Bridge is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.RuihongY/verdi-bridge. Inspect waveforms and navigate RTL in live Synopsys Verdi. Requires a licensed Verdi installation. This page covers its PyPI package (verdi-bridge).
Is the Verdi Bridge MCP server safe to use?
Verdi Bridge scores 67 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 Verdi Bridge MCP server expose?
Verdi Bridge exposes 18 tools: session_status, browse_scope, add_signals, set_cursor, set_time_window, and 13 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,292 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the Verdi Bridge MCP server still maintained?
Verdi Bridge 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 Verdi Bridge MCP server under?
Verdi Bridge declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
