69 Trust /100
Trust breakdown (7 categories)

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

Endpoint Security66
  • The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 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. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
  • HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
  • The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
  • DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability78
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 949 tokens (~94/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management7
  • Stability observed for 2 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage90
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 67% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
  • 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 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 10 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
Install

How do I install the io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp server?

io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.bernstein.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.

MCP tools · 10 exposed · ~949 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 →

explain_receipt ~79

Verify a run receipt and narrate the result in plain language: what the run recorded, which chains recomputed, where the first divergence is, and what an auditor can and cannot conclude without the producing install's keys.

explain_trace_mapping ~102

How a bernstein run maps onto a TRACE v0.2 Trust Record: one row per claim with the journal field it is sourced from and the rule that derives it. Pass a run receipt to fill in the rows its embedded journal can answer (subject, iat, model, data_class, policy digest, tool transcript) alongside the receipt's own verdict.

verify_chain ~156

Walk bernstein chain rows and recompute every link: journal rows (event_hash), lineage spine entries (entry_hash) or audit events (prev_hmac linkage). The row kind is detected from the fields, or pass `kind` explicitly. Reports the first divergent index. Pass `entries` as the file text (a JSON array or one row per line, as journal.jsonl is written) for byte-exact hashing; a parsed array also works, but then a float spelled 1.0 or -0.0 in the file cannot be told apart from an integer.

verify_delegation_chain ~195

TRACE v0.2 delegation-chain conformance, stateless, no account: index every Trust Record by the RFC 8785 digest of its complete form, start at the leaf, follow delegation.parent_record_hash to the root, and check each hop's signature, the root key against `trusted_root_keys`, the depth bound, the link's digest algorithm, the credential (registered, issuer = parent subject, holder = record subject, window at the hop's own iat) and data_class narrowing under `data_class_lattice`. Classification: provenance-invalid outranks authorization-invalid; an unread link is unverifiable, not broken. Pass `records` as a JSON array or as file text (one record per line or a JSON array).

verify_receipt ~141

Recompute every hash chain a bernstein run receipt embeds (journal, lineage spine, optional audit range), rebuild the signed subject from the recomputed heads, and check the Ed25519 signature with the key the receipt carries. Needs no secret and reads nothing but the receipt. Returns the verdict, the first failing check, one line per check, and the same verdict as a DSSE envelope signed by this verifier's Ed25519 key (public key at keys_url) so the outcome can be kept and re-checked offline.

verify_trace_record ~155

TRACE v0.2 conformance checks on one Trust Record, stateless, no account: schema (vendored trace-claim.json), profile, subject URI, software-only runtime rule, policy digest, public-only confirmation key, the embedded signature (EdDSA, ES256 or ES384 with the key in cnf.jwk), appraisal, delegation link shape and references. Nothing is fetched: resolvers are checked as URIs only. `record_sha256` is the RFC 8785 digest of the complete record, signature included — the value a child hop puts in delegation.parent_record_hash.

Common questions

What is the io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp server?

io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp. Verifies Bernstein run receipts and hash chains; lists the shipped presets and adapters. Read-only. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.bernstein.run/mcp).

Is the io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp server safe to use?

io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp scores 69 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 io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp server expose?

io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp exposes 10 tools: server_info, verify_receipt, explain_receipt, verify_chain, verify_trace_record, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 949 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp server require authentication?

No. We connected to io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp server still maintained?

io.github.sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein-mcp 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.
