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 Security98
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • 31 of 99 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability48
  • 0% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Fail
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 757 tokens (~44/item across 17 items; 16 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management67
  • Stability observed for 20 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage75
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 24% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "routine_web_call" implies "execute" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 18 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
  • Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass
Install

How do I install the RoutineKit MCP server?

RoutineKit runs locally as an npm package, launched with npx -y routinekit. 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 · 16 exposed · ~703 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 →

Common questions

What is the RoutineKit MCP server?

RoutineKit is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.sjh9714/routinekit. Capture tool workflows, save typed tools, and replay with human approval. Includes an MCP Apps UI. This page covers its npm package (routinekit).

Is the RoutineKit MCP server safe to use?

RoutineKit scores 71 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 25 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 RoutineKit MCP server expose?

RoutineKit exposes 16 tools: routine_list, routine_tools, routine_record, routine_preview, routine_save, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 703 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the RoutineKit MCP server still maintained?

RoutineKit is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 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 RoutineKit MCP server under?

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