Available components
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 →

- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass

- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 658 tokens (~50/item across 13 items; 12 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail

- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

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 GitPin MCP server?
GitPin is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.shmindmaster/gitpin. Prove and verify multi-repo claims at Git HEAD: path, line, full SHA, no index. This page covers its npm package (gitpin).
Is the GitPin MCP server safe to use?
GitPin scores 91 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 GitPin MCP server expose?
GitPin exposes 12 tools: pin.catalog, pin.search_docs, pin.search_code, pin.prove, pin.prove_set, and 7 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 643 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the GitPin MCP server still maintained?
GitPin is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 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 GitPin MCP server under?
GitPin declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
